Blocks/Items

Regions/Biomes/Environment

Renewed

Mevans has mentioned that for the Renewed version of the mod he would like to make changes to some of the mod's gameplay features. Partly this is due to the use of data packs and other features in the newer versions of Minecraft, but largely it is due to the multiple years of user feedback and experience of the mod that has made reworking some systems desirable (even though it would have been difficult in the Legacy version without causing controversy/unnecessary effort).

  • A reworked and greatly expanded speechbank system that allows translations and customisation with resource packs, as well as being predicate-based. This system is named Curuquesta.
  • A 'theft' system where NPCs have AI allowing them to respond to theft (by calling the guards or causing the player to lose alignment) from tile entities within their structures (similar to how piglins respond to theft in the Nether, as well as the current pickpocketing mechanics in the Legacy version).
  • Reworked banner protection system that is saved outside of region files - meaning it isn't dependent on the banner being loaded in the world to function.
  • 'Underground biome variants' - this was mentioned by Mevans before 1.17 was officially announced to be a cave update. Specific variants mentioned include mushroom caves, crystal caves, spiderweb caves, larger caves, more dripstones, different stone types etc. It is not known how these plans have been affected by 1.17.
