The previous version of my mod (which is no longer available, as I removed it) was heavily bugged and contained many issues. This was mainly because I was still learning how to create Minecraft mods at the time. Because of that, I decided to start the project from scratch.

Last version (Alpha 1.0.0) introduces many enjoyable new features:

1. Stones

• Small decorative pebbles that appear on the ground. They can be collected and thrown, similarly to snowballs.

• When mining blocks such as stone, deepslate, or even end stone, instead of dropping the full block, you will receive 1 to 3 pebbles (this works with the Fortune enchantment).

• The mod adds 12 new types of pebbles.

2. New decorative blocks

• A large number of new decorative blocks have been added, including calcite, andesite, and diorite bricks, new tiles, carved tiles, and more.

• In the future, even more decorative blocks will be added, such as ones made from netherrack or end stone.

• New ores have also been introduced, for example calcite diamond ore and redstone deposits in andesite.

• A new decorative stone called Azurite has been added. It can be found deep underground in caves and appears as a unique blue block.

3. Farming and crops

This is the most developed feature of the mod.

• New crops have been added: Pale Wheat (from the Pale Garden), tomatoes, strawberries, rice, and onions.

• Along with them comes a wide variety of new food items, including:

• tomato stew

• strawberry milk soup

• sweet strawberry sauce

• strawberry cookies

• pale bread and pale cookies

• rice and rice stew

• tomato rice stew

• sweet rice stew

• cooked onion and onion stew

• bamboo stew

• as well as a reworked mushroom stew

4. Decorative statues

Players can now obtain patterns in the world, craft a chisel, and create statues.

• Many more statues will be added in future updates.

• Statues can be crafted from gold, iron, and diamond.

5. New hides and backpacks

New hides have been added: pig hide and hoglin hide.

• Hides can be smelted into hardened leather, which can be used to craft new backpacks.

6. Lootboxes

The mod also includes lootboxes:

• Common Lootbox

• Uncommon Lootbox

• Rare Lootbox

• Epic Lootbox

• Legendary Lootbox

• Currently, only Common and Uncommon Lootboxes can be obtained in survival mode. More structures and challenges will be added in the future to make higher-tier lootboxes obtainable.

• When you mine a lootbox, you receive random items — the higher the lootbox tier, the better the rewards.

• More lootboxes are planned for future versions.

Finally, I would like to note that the mod is still in alpha, so bugs are expected. I highly encourage you to join my Discord server, where you can help with development by reporting bugs or suggesting new features for Rifted Lands.
