Hey y'all:
I know I said this update was coming on the 12th of March, but with full honesty I completed the final touches today and I want to get this out there as soon as I can. So with that said, welcome one and all to Runes and Dunes: Buried Remains, the last big update for the next few months. Thank you so much for enjoying this mod, and I can not wait to show y'all what else is going on behind the scenes for the future. So once again, thank you so much for viewing my fun, little mod, and I hope you enjoy exploring the new Desert Dunes

-Updated the Historian Villager, now carrying a new texture and better trades than the previous variation! (Uses the Sifter as a workbench)
-Added the Legless, a new variation of the Zombie! Currently buggy, and a work in progress

Unless there are any big issues or changes added, I will probably stop updating the mod for Forge and work on other projects/port the mod. This is not set in stone however, and I may return to this
Since the original post date 4 days ago, I've added a few more things into the mod that help round out the experience more. Due to these changes, I feel that it's safe to officially move the project into Alpha 1, rather than marking it as Pre-Alpha.
Changelog
-Added basic functionality to the Sifter: Insert Dusty or Sandy Artifacts to uncover Relic Templates, which can be used to create Relics
-Renamed "Olive Wood" to "Mahogany Wood": While the colour of the wood was nice, I did not feel it fit as Olive Wood. Due to this, I felt a name change was the best way to work around that
-Added Mahogany Trees, Logs, and Wood: Mahogany Trees can be found in swamps, and will drop logs and saplings for Mahogany Wood
-Fixed Meerkat Spawns (Hopefully)
-Added in crafting recipe for Dust (2 Sand + 2 String)
-Removed crafting recipes for Shattered Relic Template
-Added in Sifting Recipe for Shattered Relic Template (Dusty and Sandy Artifacts)
-Added in Sifting Recipe for Sand (Dust)
This update is on the smaller side, however it adds the final few things that makes this survival friendly. Overall, I'm happy with t
