Dated Draughts

by ssblur

Dated Draughts brings back older Minecraft mechanics through potion effects and game rules, letting players opt into behavior from earlier versions.

FabricNeoForgeClient and serverCC0 1.0 UniversalOpen source1.21 – 1.21.1

What it does

Beta-era food is restored by Uncraving potions, which are brewed from Thick Potions and cooked Beta Porkchops, with the Beta Porkchop made by crafting a Porkchop with a Cobblestone piece. The effects bring back the older food mechanics and textures, along with states from the beta period, and a food game rule can enable them globally. Hunger sprinting is removed, and eating food restores health instead.

Older combat and water behavior are restored by two more potions. Dextrous potions, brewed from Thick Potions and Stone Swords, bring back many premodern combat mechanics, such as disabling the offhand, allowing blocking with swords, and disabling attack cooldowns, and an old combat game rule enables them globally. Nonaquatic potions, brewed from Thick Potions and cooked Beta Fish, which come from crafting Salmon or Cod with a Cobblestone piece, disable swimming animations and return the oxygen bar as it worked before, restoring it instantly upon resurfacing. A water game rule enables them globally.

The mod runs on Fabric and NeoForge, and it needs both Architectury API and Fabric API. It is client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal and is open source, and files target 1.21 – 1.21.1.

Key features

  1. Potion-based toggles

    Each restored mechanic is delivered as a potion effect, so players choose which older behavior applies.

  2. Beta food effects

    Uncraving potions bring back beta food mechanics and textures, and hunger sprinting is removed.

  3. Premodern combat effects

    Dextrous potions restore offhand and sword-blocking behavior, along with attack cooldowns disabled.

  4. Restored water behavior

    Nonaquatic potions disable swimming animations and return the oxygen bar as it worked before.

  5. Global game rules

    Game rules enable or disable each effect for a whole world, and a toggle turns all of them off.

Questions

Yes. On Fabric, Fabric API is required, and Architectury API is required on both loaders. Both must be installed next to Dated Draughts.

Does the server need Dated Draughts?

Yes. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.

Can the restored mechanics be turned off?

Yes. A game rule disables the effects globally, and each mechanic can be set separately with its own rule.
