Genesis
by uhmbyee
Genesis overhauls Minecraft's progression system, using a new Age system that locks content behind goals so that a new player moves through the game in order.
What it does
Genesis adds blocks and items that belong to an Age system. The Age system holds back content behind goals, so basic gear like iron armor, diamond tools and furnaces stays out of reach until a player has reached the matching stage. Access to the End requires defeating the Ender Dragon first, which adds friction before the final stage.
The mod gives in-game guidance, so players do not need to rely on external guides to know what to do next. Its goals include completing an Ocean Monument, exploring an Ancient City, going through the Nether and killing the Wither. The mod also includes a tiredness feature inspired by the Sleep Rework mod.
Genesis requires Genesis Framework. Just Enough Items (JEI) and Roughly Enough Items (REI) are optional. It runs on Fabric and is published for 7 release versions, 1.21.6 – 26.3, with 1.9.1 for 26.3 as the latest file. Both the server and every player need it, and the code is licensed under All rights reserved.
