by Arkendorf

Stormward adds Stormlight Archive magic to Minecraft, with the Shattered Plains, Parshendi warbands and Roshar plants and ores for Forge.

ForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1 – 1.20.2

What it does

Inspired by the Stormlight Archive novels of Brandon Sanderson, the mod turns a plateau region of rock, crem and desolate ground into a place to explore. Parshendi warbands roam the plateaus, and players can fight them, claim gemhearts and chrysalises, or hunt greatshell beasts. Fields of rockbuds, polyps and other lively plants give the landscape its alien look.

Survival work centers on farming lavis, a staple food of Roshar, and cutting down markel trees for lumber. Several new ores sit underground, including zircon, topaz, sapphires, rubies and garnets, while geodes yield smokestone. A set of armor can be made from Parshendi shells, and it stays effective against the warbands around it. Fabrials and other fantastical flora and fauna round out the content.

The mod requires TerraBlender, which handles the biome placement, and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Forge 1.20.2 is the only loader, and files exist for 1.20.1 and 1.20.2, with 2.1.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest file on the beta channel. Just Enough Items is optional. The code is not open source, and all rights are reserved by Arkendorf.

Questions

Does Stormward need TerraBlender?

Yes. TerraBlender is a required dependency, so it must be installed next to Stormward on Forge.

Does Stormward have to be installed on both sides?

Yes. Installation covers the server and each player's game.

Which Minecraft versions does Stormward support?

Files exist for 1.20.1 and 1.20.2, and the latest Forge file is 1.20.1-2.1.0 for 1.20.1, published 2026-08-09 on the beta channel.

Does Stormward add a Just Enough Items integration?

Just Enough Items is an optional dependency, so the mod works without it, and installing it only adds item lookup alongside the mod's content.
