Kingdoms & Dynasties: Revisited
Kingdoms & Dynasties: Revisited brings Feudal Japan armor, weapons and biomes into Minecraft Forge for 1.20.1, and lets players dye individual parts of an armor set.
What it does
The mod is a historical content pack that introduces commodities from Feudal Japan, with armors, weapons, biomes and building blocks, along with mobs and mechanics. It is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 only and needs Geckolib to run. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The project is a follow-up to Kingdoms Dynasties II, and the author states that work on new clothing, armor and weapon customization is ongoing, with new biomes and world generation planned for future updates.
Armor customization is the central feature of the 0.8.0 alpha line. A Yoroi Stand allows an armor set to be dyed by four methods: primary, secondary, lining and one more. Dyeing requires a set of dyes for the helmet, chestplate and leggings, and each dye is consumed once per area. A crafting table lets a player dye one part of a set without touching the others. Chin straps, armor sleeves and similar parts can be removed to change the look further.
The project is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Files are published for Forge only, and the latest file is 0.8.2 for 1.20.1, marked as an alpha release and dated 2025-04-13.
