This mod adjusts various Minecraft mechanics to better suit my vision for exploration. Check out my video on it for more information!<\/p>\n
Features:
\n– Ancient Explorer map, obtained from cartographers after defeating the ender dragon. Leads to an ancient city.
\n– Sculk Vial, crafted with 5 echo shards, stores up to 30 levels.
\n– Ancient cities are twice as rare, in exchange woodland mansions are made 3x more common.
\n– Ancient city loot table now contains diamond armor and tools.
\n– The recovery compass is no longer craftable and can now be found in the woodland mansions (with a new texture).
\n– Biomes now have a variated ore distribution, and affect the growth rates of different crops. See the Biome Diversification Catalog for more information.
\n– Default powered rails are now crafted with copper ingots instead of gold.
\n– Minecarts now travel at 12 m\/s when a passenger is onboard (default was 8 m\/s).
\n– Super powered rails are crafted with gold ingots and increase the minecarts speed up to 16 m\/s.
\n– Increases frequency of biome dependent villager trades appearing, instead of outright overriding the pre-trade rebalance mechanic.
\n– Horse armor has durability.
\n– Horse armor can be enchanted (unbreaking, mending, protection(s), respiration, frost walker, depth strider, feather falling, soul speed).
\n– Horses can sprint 120% faster than their base speed.
\n– Horses now have a stamina bar that slowly drains the longer it sprints.
\n– When the stamina bar is fully drained, the horse moves 30% slower until fully recharged.
\n– Ice evaporates in the nether.
\n– Striders no longer get cold when out of lava in the nether, only when out of lava in the overworld will they get cold.
\n– Striders can now spawn on the nether terrain, and will not mind walking on it over lava.
\n– Boats no longer move quickly with ice. This can be changed with the game rule `allowIceBoatSpeed`.<\/p>\n
