Volcanic Evolution
by Just_a_Mango
Volcanic Evolution is a Forge equipment and adventure mod for 1.12.2 that adds two ores, a volcanic dimension and a set of armors, weapons and tools.
What it does
The mod centers on a fire and volcanic theme. It introduces a pair of ores, one named amethyst and one volcanic, each with its own block and ingot, and an amethyst gem as an extra item. Twelve armors, weapons and tools are spread across the two ores, and the author describes them as having distinctive properties.
A separate dimension is reachable only in creative mode at the moment, so survival players cannot enter it yet. Forge is the only loader the mod is published for. Files exist for 1.12, 1.12.1 and 1.12.2, with 2.0 for 1.12.2 as the latest build, released on 2024-09-28.
Both the server and every player need the mod, because the environment is client and server. Volcanic Evolution is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. The author notes that development happened some time ago and has not continued since, so the mod remains tied to the 1.12 line.
