A mod to make the environment and its inhabitants feel more alive!
The Minecraft world is fundamentally a very boring place, everything is set from the beginning and past that, there's very little change.
This mod aims to modify the minecraft environment in such a way that it changes over time, providing some new unique mechanics and interactions between different gameplay elements. There are a lot of features that could be implemented into this mod in future - So suggestions are welcome.
What's New
Spoilers
Puddles
- Puddles will spawn during the rain. They will slow you down slightly to walk through, and will spread during rainy weather. - Once it's no longer raining, they'll start to evaporate. Alternatively, you can use bottles or buckets to collect the water to get rid of them. Improved Crops
- The way crops work has been fundamentally overhauled - Grass no longer drops wheat seeds - instead, they now drop mixed seeds. - Mixed seeds most often won't grow into anything besides grass, however, they have a chance to grow into a random regular crop. - To grow crops, you'll have to find one of the following to get seeds (Or try your luck with mixed seeds): - Wild Wheat - Wild Potatoes - Wild Carrots - Wild Beetroot - The new wild crops will spawn randomly in your world, you can find them by simply exploring! - They are capable of growing on their own, over time more wild crops will appear nearby - Causing them to slowly spread. - Carrots now have their own seed type - Although you can still use carrots normally. Growing Grass
- Now, grass blocks have a chance to grow short grass above them naturally - And short grass is able to grow into tall grass. - This will often destroy crops and plants on grass blocks - So you might want to keep the grass under control around your base. - If farmland is close to grass blocks, it has a chance to start growing short or tall grass over it - Destroying your crops! Responsive Forests
- Trees can now spread! Over time saplings will grow nearby trees, allowing forests to spread over time. - Instead of just vanishing, leaves will now fall down to the ground once the parent tree has been removed. - Over time, leaves fallen on the ground will turn into leaf litter. Trees will also drop leaf litter neaby over time. - A full leaf litter block will turn the block under it into podzol after a while - Composting. - While a change to podzol, rather than directly related to trees - grass blocks will now spread to Podzol. This means that there will be small patches of grass inside of forests which are otherwise mostly podzol. As grass spreads to podzol, the leaf litter on the block will be removed. Support
