About this Mod

Disclaimer: Just like all of my other mods, this is a Forge mod. I have no intents on porting this to Fabric, so please don't ask. Thank you.

From the creator of SoniCraft comes a new mod that restores unused content, introduces content from other versions of Minecraft, and pays tribute to Minecraft's amazing community. A mod like this can only be called...

Decade of Digging

Yeah, I know what some of you are going to say:

 "EnderPreston, there are already several mods that add Mooblooms." Yes, I know, but if you don't want the Mooblooms from my mod to conflict, there's a gamerule to keep them from spawning.

 "EnderPreston, are you seriously trying to rival Rediscovered?" That was not my intent. In fact, that mod isn't even out for 1.18.2 yet.

Now that I've addressed the elephants in the room, let's talk about the mod itself. It's still kind of in early stages, and there isn't that much to offer just yet (and most of the stuff can't even be crafted yet), but I want to see what you guys think. This mod was originally made to honor Minecraft reaching 1 trillion views on YouTube, but I didn't quite get this finished in time for that. Anyway, here's a list of all of the blocks, items, and mobs that were added. No renders for the mod-exclusive blocks yet, sadly, but I'm getting there.

Removed Java Edition Content:

  • Old Crying Obsidian: Now called Enchanted Obsidian, and it functions exactly like a vanilla bookshelf when near an Enchanting Table, only twice as powerful.
  • Gear: Not compatible with redstone, but it can be right-clicked to change direction.
  • Rose: Has all of the exact same properties as a Poppy.
  • Pre-1.13 Fish: Now called a Tuna, and it can also be cooked. You can put it in a bucket, too, but the bucket is still a work-in-progress.

Bedrock Edition/Education Edition:

  • Nether Reactor Core: Functions exactly like its original counterpart prior to PE alpha 0.12.0.
  • PE Stonecutter: Not functional. (Not even a reskin of the JE Stonecutter, sadly)
  • Glowing Obsidian: It's obsidian that glows. What more can I say?
  • info_update: 404 description not found
  • Camera: Normally handheld, but it can also be mounted on a Tripod.
  • Cyan Rose: Basically a Rose, but used for Cyan Dye.
  • Allow and Deny: Neither are functional at the moment.
  • Underwater Torch: Instead of Magnesium, you need Glow Ink Sacs to craft it.
  • Compound Creator: Not functional at the moment.
  • Material Reducer: Not functional at the moment.
  • Element Constructor: Not functional at the moment.
  • Lab Table: Not functional at the moment.
  • Border: Just a red wall. It does not function exactly like the Border from Education Edition.
  • Sparklers (all 5 colors): A little glitchy, but they do work. There's also a new item called the Sparkler Stick, which is used to craft each type of Sparkler.
  • Agent: Unlike its Education Edition counterpart, you control it with a remote.

Minecraft Story Mode:

  • Redstone Heart: Just a Block of Redstone that doubles as a light source.
  • Formidi-Bomb: Kind of a work-in-progress, but whatever you do, don't activate this anywhere near your house.

Minecraft Dungeons:

  • Redstone Monstrosity: Still kind of a work-in-progress, but he does work. Bring some Netherite equipment and Enchanted Golden Apples, though, because he's tough!
  • Redstone Monstrosity Head: The ultimate trophy for the toughest of players.
  • Key Golem: Sort of functions like it's supposed to. You can use it with the new redstone input called the "Redstone Keyhole".
  • Redstone Cube: Currently doesn't have a spawn egg, but it's occasionally spawned by the Redstone Monstrosity.

Minecraft Earth:

  • Buttercup: A pretty yellow flower that can sometimes be found in the Flower Forest.
  • Pink Daisy: A beautiful pink flower that can sometimes be found in the Flower Forest.
  • Moobloom: A friendly yellow cow covered in Buttercups. It usually spawns in the Flower Forest.
  • Moolip: A gentle pink cow covered in Pink Daisies. It usually spawns in the Flower Forest.

Miscellaneous:

  • 10th Anniversary Gold: Used to craft the various items from the official 10th Anniversary map.
  • 10th Anniversary Armor: It's the armor from the 10th Anniversary map, but with slightly different properties.
  • 10th Anniversary Sword: Currently the only tool that can be made out of 10th Anniversary Gold, and it's also from the 10th Anniversary map.
  • Firework Sword: Same properties as the 10th Anniversary Sword, but it'll shoot off random fireworks wherever you right-click.
  • Iron Hammer: Slower yet stronger alternative to an Iron Sword, but it's also an alternative pickaxe. You can also fully repair chipped anvils and partially repair damaged anvils with it by shift-right-clicking.
  • Netherite Hammer: Slower yet stronger alternative to a Netherite Sword, but it's also an alternative pickaxe. You can also fully repair chipped and damaged anvils with it by shift-right-clicking.
  • Steve and Alex Clothes: Dress up as the default characters of Minecraft.
  • Tripod: It's mostly for the Camera, but you can also put a Spyglass on there and have yourself a telescope!
  • Missing Texture Block: Just a little something I added for poops and giggles.
  • Planet Minecraft Logo: A very nostalgic decoration that would look quite nice in a planetarium. (Credit goes to the creators of PlanetMinecraft.com)
  • Nova Skin Computer: Unlike some of the skins on that website, making the textures for this actually took some time. XD (No disrespect to the people who own the website, though. I used to use it myself.)
  • Possessed Cobblestone: Try making a Herobrine Shrine, and see what happens to the Mossy Cobblestone within it.
  • Dan the Creeper: I'M A CREEPER! MINECRAFT'S GRIM REAPER! BLOWING UP BLOCKS LIKE... Okay, you get the point. (Credit goes to Dan Bull and Element Animation)
  • Villager #5: Breaking news! One of the villagers in Minecraft has a mustache, and he can speak English! (Credit goes to Element Animation)
  • Fabric: I regret nothing. =P (Credit goes to the creators of the Fabric mod loader)
  • Block of Fabric; Yeah, I really am just teasing y'all now, aren't I?
  • Fabricated Forge: If this was a real thing, maybe the Minecraft modding community wouldn't be so divided. As for the block itself, it's still a work-in-progress.
  • Mojangs: For those who don't know, the Mojangs are those 6 funny-looking gizmos that make up the Mojang Studios logo.
