Version 8.0 is now out! The video showcase is finally done, please check it out if you're interested!

 

IMPORTANT – As of version 8.0, the minimum version of Forge required to run this mod has increased to 36.2.0

 

Over most of this year, I've been building up this mod gradually on MCreator just for a private server with my friends, but with the release of version 7.0, I’ve decided to share it here for anyone to use. No other mods are required for this mod to work.

 

I have no plans to put this mod on any other versions of Minecraft or onto Fabric, but I do update it quite regularly with new features and/or bug fixes, so I’m open to ideas in the comments.

 

Anyway here's the feature list if you don't have time for the video.

 

New Ores and Gems:

  • Raw Iron and Gold in 1.16!
  • Flint Block – Generates above y=64 and drops 2-4 flint (not affected by fortune)
  • Mixed Ore – Found below y=40 and drops one of 6 types of gems depending on RNG
  • Ruby – Found below y=32 and drops 1-2 rubies
  • Sapphire – Found above y=90 in large clumps
  • Topaz – Found between y=20 and y=60 in vanilla desert biomes
  • Nether Diamond – Found at any y level in the Basalt Deltas biome in the Nether
  • Ender Titanium – Found below y=16 on the End Islands

 

New Tools and Weapons:

  • Daggers – Attack faster than swords but do less damage. Very easy to craft with low durability
  • Clubs – Useful for mining blocks that normally cannot be mined faster with any tool type
  • Flint Tools – Between stone and iron in terms of stats, good early-game
  • Ruby Tools – Attack and mine very fast but no better than stone tools with stats, useful for mining large areas of stone early-game
  • Sapphire Tools – Swords have a chance to freeze the target for 5s (Slowness X)
  • Topaz Tools – Swords have a chance to summon lightning on the target
  • Nether Diamond Tools – Diamond level stats, but with a chance to set the target on fire
  • Ender Titanium Tools – Better than nether diamond, sword does 11 damage
  • Elemental Staffs – Fire, ice or electric variants are available and they shoot magic blasts that either burn, freeze or shock the target for 10s. However, they only have 50 durability

 

New Armor:

  • Sapphire Armor – Has a thorns-like effect that freezes the target, chance boosted with a full set
  • Topaz Armor – Has a thorns-like effect that summons lightning on the target, chance boosted with a full set
  • Nether Diamond Armor – DIamond level stats, but has a thorns-like effect that sets the attacker on fire, boosted with a full set
  • Ender Titanium Armor – Better than nether diamond, full set gives 25 armor points
  • Effect Armor – Various armor pieces that give effects constantly when worn, at the cost of durability. They can be upgraded to be stronger and give higher level effects.

 

New Food/Potions:

  • Sugar Clump – Edible sugar that is quick to eat and gives a stackable speed effect
  • Glow Berry Bushes – Found below y=40 and drop 0-2 glow berries when broken
  • Glow Berries – Quick to eat and give 4 seconds of night vision.
  • Golden Potato – Quicker to eat than golden carrots but less filling
  • Sweet Berry Pie – Like pumpkin pie but made with sweet berries
  • Diamond Apple – Even better than an enchanted golden apple!
  • Mystery Elixir – Used to brew potions in this mod. Gives one or two random effects when consumed.
  • Four-Leaf Clover – Found rarely in Flatland biomes and found in treehouses, used for “lucky” recipes
  • Lucky Mystery Elixir – Add a four-leaf clover to a mystery elixir and remove all bad effects from the RNG
  • Experience Potion – Add a bottle o’ enchanting to a mystery elixir and get a potion that gives you 1 XP level when used
  • Luck Potion – Brewed with a four-leaf clover and a mystery elixir and gives you the Luck effect
  • Potion of Karma – Brewed with a purple mushroom and a mystery elixir and acts like thorns, doing (level * 2) damage to any attacker.

 

Other Additions:

  • Flatland Biome – Mimics a superflat in a regular world, great for building, not so great as a world spawn
  • Treehouses – Found in forests, even in the nether and contain relevant loot to the biome
  • Blue Mushrooms – Generate only in mushroom biomes, can be bone-mealed into a big version
  • Blue Slime – Smelting result of blue mushrooms
  • Blue Slime Block – Makes you jump higher when you stand on it
  • Blue Slime Stick – Auto-enchanted with Knockback V for fun fights
  • Purple Mushrooms – Generate underground in mushroom biomes and poison you if touched, can be bone-mealed into a big version
  • Charged Ice – When powered by redstone, makes you run REALLY fast on it.
  • Experienced Enchantment – Mobs drop more XP on death
  • Electric Blade Enchantment – Has a chance to summon a lightning bolt at a mob, the chance is higher in a thunderstorm
  • Curse of Karma – Goes on swords and deals 1 damage to the user when they hit a mob
  • Sugar Block – Crafting ingredient for sugar boots effect armor
  • Blackstone Magma Block – Crafting ingredient for fiery recipes and deals double damage compared to regular magma
  • Music discs (These are why the file size is so large)
  • Blank Record – Used to craft music discs in this mod
  • Better recipes for some vanilla items – Bookshelves, Item Frames, Paintings, Rabbit Hide, Quartz, Grass Block
  • Lapis and Quartz can be used for beacons if you're feeling cheap
  • Creative mode inventory tab
  • Advancements tab

I haven’t tested it on any forge version other than 1.16.5 – 36.1.0, so I don’t know if it works on other forge 1.16.5 versions.
