Recommended Hardware Setup

This mod is resource-heavy, generating a lot of objects, so a high-spec machine (especially with strong graphics performance) is recommended.

Below is the setup used by the creator during development, which should match the performance in videos uploaded to YouTube:

  • CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-14700F 2.10 GHz
  • Memory: DDR4 16GB
  • Disk: SSD 800GB
  • GPU: GeForce RTX4070 Ti SUPER

Required Minecraft/Mods

  • Minecraft: 1.20.1
  • Fabric: 0.16.5
  • geckolib-fabric-1.20.1-4.4.9
  • leawind_third_person-v2.1.0-mc1.20.1-fabric
  • modmenu-7.2.2

(Forge compatibility is planned for the official release…)

Recommended Mods

  • iris-1.7.2+mc1.20.1
  • sodium-fabric-0.5.11+mc1.20.1
  • indium-1.0.34+mc1.20.1
  • Controlify-2.0.0-beta.13+1.20.1-fabric

Recommended Shader Pack

BSL Original_v8.3

Current Thoughts on Licensing and Asset Sharing

The creator has greatly benefited from open-source software (OSS) in other industries and appreciates the value of OSS in mod development as well, so the intent is to make this mod open-source in the future. However, for now (at least during the alpha and beta phases), it will remain ARR (All Rights Reserved) and private.

The reason is that the creator has no experience in mod or OSS development, and there’s uncertainty about how things might develop after release. Therefore, the creator would like to observe how things go for a while. Additionally, since the creator currently has no influence or connections, it’s important to first establish a stable position for both this mod and themselves.

Once the full version is released and things settle down, the plan is to transition to OSS and fully release the assets under an MIT or GPL3 license.

Messages from the Creator

To Everyone

Please enjoy the mod! Feedback, ideas, and bug reports are very welcome; feel free to submit them in the Issues section of this repository!

To Mod Developers

If anyone out there is interested in collaborating or submitting pull requests, please feel free to reach out! Also, I'm actively looking for advice—particularly on performance optimization and maintainability.

To Datapack / Resource Pack / Map Creators

My hands are full just creating the entities, so I don’t have the bandwidth to integrate this mod fully into Survival Mode. Therefore, if anyone could use this mod to create new biomes, maps, recipes, or loot tables, I would be extremely grateful!

To Content Creators

This mod offers a lot of different ways to play, so I’d be thrilled to see it featured in your videos and creative projects!
