Simply Camping
by ibex80
Simply Camping adds camping gear to Minecraft, including campfires, tents, sleeping bags and hot springs, for players who want a camp life in their survival worlds.
What it does
Simply Camping adds camping features to the game. Dense pine forests are presented as good places to set up camp, and natural hot springs can be found in the world. Sap can be scraped off pine trees, and ferns yield cloth. Cheaper campfires heal nearby players, and tents provide warmth at night. Sleeping bags let a player rest without setting a spawn point, which is useful far from home. Marshmallows can be cooked over a fire.
The mod is built around the camping theme and is meant to be played with other biome and adventure mods, so it can join an existing survival setup without changing the rest of the world. The author notes that squirrels and backpacks that store camping items are planned, along with other upcoming features.
Simply Camping runs on the client and the server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.17 and 1.17.1, with 1.0.1 for 1.17.1 as the latest file. The code is covered by the MIT License, and the project does not count as open source.
