TheWildBackport
by ItsBlackgear
TheWildBackport brings the Wild Update content to Minecraft 1.18.2, with swamp, mangrove, sculk and deep dark features for Fabric, Forge and Quilt.
What it does
The mod backports features of the Wild Update to the 1.18.2 version of the game. Players can explore swamps with frogs and tadpoles, build with sculk, mud and mangrove wood, and meet the allay, which collects supplies and fills chests and boats. The deep dark adds a warden that players have to evade. Builds are published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt, with 1.2.3 for 1.18.2 as the latest file for each loader. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
