BETTER MINECRAFT [ BMC MOD ]

by SOLEA PIXEL

BETTER MINECRAFT is a Forge and NeoForge mod that adds new gear, a themed biome and new goals to vanilla play, published for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1.

ForgeNeoForgeClient or server, optionalCustom license1.20.1 – 1.21.1

What it does

Players who want more to do after the base game can use the additions here: Enderite and Emerald armor and tools, a New Infusion Table, and a new biome set in the End and the Overworld. The mod is aimed at players who find vanilla Minecraft repetitive over time and want new goals to work toward.

Installing it is optional on either side, so a single player can run it alone, a server can run it alone, or both can run it. Builds exist for Forge and NeoForge only, with 2 release versions covering 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, and the license is a custom one, so the code is not open source.

The author notes that Just Enderite, The Great End Update and VoidForged cover related ground, and O's enderite is an open source option with an Enderite focus, so a player choosing among them should compare what each adds. Enderite ore is published for 1.19.2 – 1.21.1.

Key features

  1. Enderite armor and tools

    Enderite gear joins the set of armor and tools, giving players a late-game equipment tier.

  2. Emerald armor and tools

    A parallel set of armor and tools made from emerald adds a different material option.

  3. New Infusion Table

    An added infusion table gives players a new crafting station for the mod's items.

  4. New biome

    A new biome appears in both the End and the Overworld, adding terrain to explore.

Questions

Which loaders does BETTER MINECRAFT support?

Forge and NeoForge. Files exist for both loaders for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1.

Does the server need BETTER MINECRAFT?

No. Installing it on either side is enough, and neither side needs it, so a server can run without it.

Can add-on mods use BETTER MINECRAFT's code?

Yes. The author notes that tags live under data/bmcmod/tags and that BmcModIds and ResourceLocation constants are used for cross-mod references, so add-ons can rely on datapacks.

What the author says

Minecraft has often become repetitive; eventually, you end up seeing everything there is to see. That’s why BETTER MINECRAFT stands out as the new 1.22 update that will never be released in Minecraft. You can discover our various additions and more by installing our mod. And there is much more to discover in the mods…
