About this Mod

This mod was created to add more variety to the base vanilla game. The goal is to give the player more options when exploring and building their bases or homes. Features that have been added so far include:

  • This includes a new block type, the vertical slab, and more block shapes to existing blocks that allows for more options when base building.
  • 20+ crops and 20+ trees to give more options for decoration and base building.
  • New food items to add variety and add additional status effects.
  • Around 10 new biomes and new structures to improve exploration and where new mobs and foilage will spawn.
  • A few new mobs like wizards, mummies, and ghosts to add some more complexity to what is fought in combat.
  • New animals like elephants and penguins that will also improve exploration.
  • A wearable backpack to add more inventory space.
  • Wearable banners for players that want to team up and form clans.
  • New villager types to add more trading options for players.
  • The scythe and hammer have been added to make farming and mining a bit more efficient but not overpowered.
  • And lastly a new boss, the Pharaoh, that can be found in the depths of the pyramid.
  • Newest edition now includes a magic system with close to 50 spells.

This mod is made for Minecraft version 1.20.4 and for Forge version 1.20.4 - 49.1.0
