by OrderedChaosDev

Project: Vibrant Journeys adds scattered ground items, livelier biomes, flavored ruined Nether portals and small tweaks to vanilla survival worlds.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverCreative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.01.12.2 – 1.21.4

What it does

Walking across the landscape exposes a set of ground decorations: rocks, twigs, fallen leaves, bones, pinecones and seashells. Biome decoration is expanded with grass in several heights, toppled logs, mushrooms growing on bark and Nether plants. Ruined Nether portals take on one of four looks, built from soul sand, basalt, warped or crimson materials rather than a single fixed design.

The mod is intended for players who want the existing survival world to feel more varied. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Builds cover 1.12.2 – 1.21.4 on Forge and NeoForge, with 1.20.1-6.3.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest Forge file and 1.21.1-7.0.9 for 1.21.1 as the latest NeoForge file. The code is under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Groundcover items

    Rocks, twigs, fallen leaves, bones, pinecones and seashells appear on the ground while exploring.

  2. Livelier biome decoration

    Grass in several heights, toppled logs, bark fungi and Nether plants are added to matching biomes.

  3. Flavored ruined portals

    Ruined Nether portals use soul sand, basalt, warped and crimson styles.

  4. Minor world tweaks

    Cobwebs appear under tree leaves, and tropical fish spawn in jungle water.

How it compares

Full comparison

This Rocks! is also a Forge and NeoForge mod for client and server with a ground-decoration focus, released under the MIT License and open source, for 1.18.2 – 26.1.1. Intact Ruined Nether Portal is Forge only and server-side only, covering 1.16 – 1.20.6 under All rights reserved and not open source, so it changes portals without a client install.
