Reimagined
by zenkrak983
Reimagined is a NeoForge total conversion for 1.21.1 that replaces much of the vanilla survival experience, and it is in an early alpha state.
What it does
Reimagined starts players in a different overworld that keeps only a few elements of vanilla. The changes focus on survival: food is scarcer and has to be gathered through slower methods or taken from hostile mobs, and progression follows a different path from the base game.
Stamina is a central mechanic. Running away from a fight costs more than it does in vanilla, so players are pushed to commit to battles. Getting a stone-equivalent pickaxe requires either fighting monsters for their drops or using a pickaxe to interact with local passive mobs.
The mod requires NeoForge and is published for 1.21.1 only. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are released under the Apache License 2.0, and the code is not open source. Bugs, oversights and unfinished mechanics are known to exist in this alpha build.
Key features
Total conversion overworld
The mod replaces the standard survival loop with a different starting world and progression, carrying over only a few vanilla elements.
Scarce food
Food is harder to come by and must be obtained through tedious gathering or from hostile mobs.
Stamina system
Stamina limits how far a player can run from a fight, so battles are harder to avoid.
Pickaxe progression
A stone-equivalent pickaxe is earned by defeating monsters for drops or by using a pickaxe on passive mobs nearby.

What the author says
The goal of Reimagined is to give a better survival experience that differs from vanilla's views and way of going about things. As in, things Mojang would not do. Disclaimers: This mod is not attempting to be a replacement of the vanilla gameplay experience. Instead it intends to be something that I, personally…
