It's Alive - Unofficial Port
Unofficial port of It's Alive by emihead, for 1.20.1 Forge.
About this Mod
This is a 1.20.1 forge port of this amazing mod, made for personal use on my private modpack.
Original Description
This is a relatively simple mod which aims to expand the Deep Dark with new features and building blocks. It generally attempts to make the biome feel less barren.
Currently, this mod is centered around two main blocks:
Sculk Tendrils - Plant-like growths found on Sculk. When harvested, they have a chance to drop string, giving players another way to get wool to avoid disturbing Sensors. They drop as an item when sheared, which not only can be crafted into string more efficiently, but compacted into Sculk Thatch, a new building block.
Sculk Teeth - Calcified pillars found jutting out of the ceiling and floor in the Deep Dark. Like other Sculk blocks, these can only be harvested with Silk Touch, but craft into Enamel blocks, a new set of building blocks. They can also be brushed, making them a brilliant white!
Additionally, Sculk can now be bonemealed in order to grow Tendrils, and Tendrils and Teeth have a chance to spawn during blooms.
This is my first mod EVER and I'm sure there are some things I might have messed up despite its simplicity. Please feel free to bug me about it on the Github repo if you notice any issues or have any suggestions to make.
Currently supports en-us, es-es, and ja-jp. Anyone who wants to open a PR for another language is free to do so.
