Hivecraft: An Alternia Addon for Minestuck
Hivecraft adds Alternia, the home planet of the Trolls from Homestuck, as a new dimension for Minecraft on Forge.
What it does
The mod adds a new dimension built around a handful of varied biomes, along with a full suite of new building blocks. Players reach it through the Alternia portal chain, which needs cruxite and other materials obtained from frog temples, while cruxite also generates naturally in the world. Some foods that were previously found only in chests can now be farmed, and a few new foods are added through alchemy.
Each biome recreates a location from the story. Oracle Canopy is a cold forest of inhabited tall blue trees that Homestuck fans will recognize as the area where Terezi's hive was built. Bramble Forest is a dark, dry forest of sharp trees, and its wood is required to craft Bug Nests, the home of Cat Lusi. Rocky Plains and Rocky Plateau are modeled on the area where Vriska and Equius's hives stood, and are home to the large spiders of the Spider Lusi, which are extremely territorial.
The mod is published for Forge and 1.20.1 only. It is required on client and server, so servers and every player need it. Hivecraft is open source under the MIT License, and its source code is public.
