Aurus: Novae Terrae
by DuperKnight
Aurus: Novae Terrae is a Fabric Adventure mod that adds new biomes, structures, dimensions, armor trims and equipment to vanilla survival, and it is still in early development.
What it does
The project plans new biomes, including reworked versions of birch forests, jungles and deserts, along with new structures and dimensions for players to explore. Its author describes it as vanilla-friendly, and the aim is to add content without replacing existing game systems.
Several areas are listed as in progress, with the author reporting roughly 8 percent, 10 percent and 7 percent completion for different parts, and 0 percent for others. The list includes new armor trims, new equipment, a new underwater boss and small quality-of-life changes. Updates are not frequent during development, and the author notes that a release may add a feature without a matching version bump.
The mod is built for Fabric and requires Fabric API and Geckolib. Patchouli and Roughly Enough Items (REI) are optional. Environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.20, 1.20.1, 1.20.2 and 1.20.4, with 0.0.12-1.20.4 for 1.20.4 as the latest, marked alpha. The code is open source under the MIT License, and source code and an issue tracker are public.

What the author says
⚠️ Since we are still in development, the updates won't be frequent. We will only update when we completely add a feature, but that doesn't mean that if we launch something in an update, we won't update it anymore! Will you add X feature? * Suggestions are always great! However, we can't confirm that we will add all…
