1.Y - The Whole New World Update
by deroplayz
1.Y - The Whole New World Update is a NeoForge content mod for 1.20.6 that aims to bring back the sense of discovery from early Minecraft versions.
What it does
The mod takes a step back toward the game's roots and reworks neglected parts of gameplay. Its author describes adding back ideas that were dropped from the game, such as woodland mansions, fishing and llamas, along with a mild horror element and the thick fog and darker skies of older releases. The stated goal is to revive the first-encounter wonder a player once had with the game, when much of it was still unknown.
A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The license is the MIT License, and the code is not open source. Files are published for NeoForge only, for Minecraft 1.20.6, with b1.0.0 as the latest build from 2024-10-02. A public wiki is linked from the project page. The mod is by deroplayz and sits in the Magic category with Adventure, Equipment, Decoration, Food, Game mechanics and Mobs.
