New Minecraft
by Quacklers
New Minecraft, by Quacklers, is a Forge adventure mod that adds an amber forest biome, amber wood, a miner villager profession and new blocks to 1.20.1.
What it does
The mod generates an Amber Forest biome in the world and adds Amber Wood as a building and decoration material found in that biome. Its blocks join the vanilla block set, and a miner villager profession is added for villages.
The mod runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it installed for the new content to load. Files are published for Forge only, and the only game version listed is 1.20.1. The latest Forge file is 0.0.1, released on 2024-12-20 on the alpha channel. The license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source. The author made it with MCreator as a first project and notes that content may change in later alpha stages.
