Starfield Pastoral
by Elysium233
With Starfield Pastoral, players start a farm life sim inside Minecraft, beginning in the overworld and entering the Stardew Valley dimension after finding the Wizard's Tower.
What it does
The mod brings a Stardew-style life simulation to Minecraft. A new game begins in the overworld, where a Wizard's Tower can be found with a compass item. Talking to the Wizard accepts his opening quest, which leads into the Stardew Valley dimension and the player's grandfather's farm.
Animal husbandry covers coops and barns, with hay, feed and care for animals, and collecting eggs, milk, wool and other produce. Fishing depends on location, season and weather, and includes a minigame, bait, tackle and treasure. NPCs follow daily schedules, talk through dialogue, send mail, and build friendships with players who visit their shops. Mines hold ore to gather, and restoring the Community Center opens minecarts, warps and new areas.
Starfield Pastoral is a Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with the same file names for both loaders. It runs on the client and the server, so both need it. It is released under a custom license and is not open source. The mod requires no other catalog mods, and five catalog mods require it, including Starfield Pastoral Fishing and Starfield Pastoral Shipping.
