วีดีโอ

First and foremost, as many others have already said, THANK YOU! For not only understanding how to fix Survival Minecraft more than seemingly anybody else, but actually going through with making the mod! My first time playing with this mod, I spawned into a mountain biome with numerous exposed emerald veins. After mining those out (and doing a bit of caving), I settled down with a small starting encampment like I often do. Once it started raining though, I decided it was time to sit down and do a bit of fishing with the small amount of bait I'd collected. Soon after, a wandering trader spawned, and I used to emeralds I had mined to buy a Badlands Explorer map. I decided it was time to go on an adventure. Since I was near to a Savannah, and had just "humanely crafted" 2 leads, I decided to tame some llamas, and pack my belongings into a caravan. I crafted a mapbook and a whole bunch of paper, and set off! This journey would be several thousand blocks, so at the first opportunity, I tamed a horse to save on the hunger cost of travelling on foot. Along the way, I collected enough rabbit hide to make a bundle, and found the materials for a spyglass so I could do some sightseeing too. It was a long journey with me, my horse, and my four llamas, but eventually we made it, and we settled down in our new home. In the very first hours of playing, I engaged with mechanics I've either never used, or haven't even considered using in years, and it was the most enjoyable adventure I've ever been on in Minecraft. It's funny how a few changes in the right direction can completely revitalize the experience of playing this game. During my travels, I found myself yearning for exactly one change, though I have no idea if it is at all within the scope of the mod, or if you're even open to requests. I just found myself wishing that biome foliage colours were accurately reflected on maps. When I was looking back on my journey, I was disappointed that there was no good way to tell most biomes apart on the map, since grass and leaves showed as the same bright green, no matter what biome they were in. If that is at all something that you are willing and able to change, I would be forever indebted! From what I could tell, maps in Bedrock Edition much more accurately reflect the world's colours than Java's maps. Just another inexplicable parity difference I suppose, haha! Also, you've mentioned that an update to 1.21 is in the works, is there any chance you're considering updating to 1.21.1? I know you're likely just wanting to put out updates for the latest versions, and that's super fair. The only reason I ask is because it looks like 1.21.1 is, and will continue to be, the big modding version for 1.21. I'm working on putting together a modpack to play with my friends, which contains some content mods that only have a 1.21.1 release, and I would absolutely love to be able to include your mod alongside them! Again, thank you for creating this mod, it is truly phenomenal! The work that you have done here is so fantastic, I wish Mojang would take notes from you, and push all of these features into Survival. I would also love it if the algorithm pushed this video as much as it did the first past in this series, hopefully this comment, as well as my several rewatches of this video will help!

regarding rain, since elytra are based on beetle wings, flying in rain is not really a problem

Thank you for making this mod become a reality! A lot has happened with the minecraft community recently and for the most part, its a warzone against mojang and mircosoft but I wish not involve myself in that conflict. I would like to thank you for making an amazing and inspiring series. I dream on one day making the ultimate minecraft(from the ground up in C++ coding)with your ideas being the blueprint and maybe becoming a game dev myself or a artist because there are many ideas in the back of mind I wish to bring to life. I appreciate your passion for this game and I hope maybe one day you can be lead developer at mojang. For now I am going to comment every once in a while an idea I have for the game and I have two for today. 1.I think the clock item could be used to tell the player about the moon phases and predicting the whether. 2. Gold armor/tools should have more durability compared to stone but less then iron. The amount of durability should be proportional to the amount of damage/hardness of the block/entity. Example:when using a gold pickaxe to mine a block like netherrack takes 1 durability but mining a block like deepslate takes 4.

Do you plan to release this on CurseForge? That'd be incredibly helpful and convenient!

Thank you for at least considering keeping easy as easy. I’m one of the players who like building in survival, as the limitations make the build more rewarding, even if it’s just a small house it feels really good to decorate it in survival. I also love exploring and going through structures, killing whatever I find in them and getting some fun rewards. A lot of changes seem like they want to make easy mode to be more difficult as well, which would just make it difficult for players like me. So thank you for remembering us, who like to play somewhere in the middle.

Whats the texture pack

I’m really liking the moon phases and planning tasks for the next night, it gives me that whole “just one more turn” feeling you get in good 4X strategy games. But I do find it a bit annoying trying to remember which moon phase is good for farming or fortune. (🌓Third quarter VS 🌗First quarter) I use whether the moon was recently full or new to track the moon phase but which buff is tricky to remember. I think what could fix that problem without changing the balance _too much_ is if the farming and fortune buffs work on both moon phases. Plus, you had those moon phases mixed up in this video. Confusing, right?

Is the Wandering Trader aware that he’s asking me to kill his llamas when he offers emeralds for two leads? Is that trade a joke? Because I can’t be the only one who does it every time.

I think due to you focusing on player gameplay and transportation, you missed the biggest issue which is exploration. You can buff the rails and add other small changes to various parts of the game to make the options more balanced, but it doesn't matter if there's nowhere you would actually want to go. Biomes and generation have the issue that if you've seen one example of a biome, you've seen them all. I was hoping you would have done something more than just adding extreme generation occasionally. Preferably, I would like to see some procedural variance to the land and trees, with procedural custom structures as well, all working in tandem to always make it feel like you are seeing something new, but I understand that would be difficult. However, couldn't there have been more terrain generation types added? I know there's custom ones already out there, like those you see Terralith, Tectonic, etc. Personally, making a person actually like exploring the world is what is likely to make them stick around, and simply making some progression tweaks doesn't really seem like it would attract most people who no longer play minecraft back by itself.

Holy, I thought that anvil idea was crazy, but you sorta convinced me. It's similar to "skill points" that you invest in some enchants, but you won't have enough to max out all of it. I'll tweak it a little though. Skill points work because they increase similar "elements". So many the points should increase each similar stat. So say you can either invest all damage, but you can still have unbreaking/mending, speed enchants, protection, etc, those have their own points that also max. Or you should up the limit, because no unbreaking 3 is a bit too much for me. Or you can have some way of eventually "increasing" those skill points. Either way, I do like the idea of incentivizing choosing enchants, and lower enchants could be better, but not so much the "do it by blocking other enchants"

Fun fact: sprint jumping consumes less hunger than just sprinting

I think that the main problem with the inventory is that there is nothing in between no shulker boxes and having shulker boxes. If you want to gather larger amount of materials or even explore more. You have to get them. This also havily limits pre end exploration.

34:00 Perfect alternative to current phantom dilemma, I like it truthfully all of these are brilliant

Real and True

I like this mod, and I am not particularly mad about the lack of customizable. For one thing, I think a hyper-customizable experience tends to be really defocused and creates a mess that undermines the intentions of the mod. Not in reference to Minecraft, this is a relevant issue in a lot Half-Life 2 remaster mods. There are so many customizable options that the vision or core aim of the mod gets completely lost on the player. All of this and not mentioning the fact that criticism of one's mod is harder to take seriously when theres a chance they disabled a feature that is core to the new balance and vision. Really I just want to hammer the point home that too many options that fundamentally alter a game can actually act as a negative force on the overall experience and undermine the intent of a mod or rework. Also, what person would get a mod that tries to rebalance the game and then proceed to ruin the new balance...

A part of the suggestions made in the video are already a part of the game while others are existing mods. Almost all of the problems in the video just depend on how you play the game. You choose how you want to play the game, if you feel like the elitra is overpowered and invalidates all other methods of transport then just don't use it and the same goes for enchantments. Also villagers shouldn't be easy to transport, they're overpowered enough as they are and the cost of transporting them to a convenient for the player place is one of the few things that's balancing them Edit: For the past few years I've barely seen anyone even use the bow and the crossbow let alone enchant them

21:00 this is needlessly restrictive to bedrock players, especially mobile players. It's hard to grab a bottle of dragons breathe on mobile. We can only get about 5-10 per fight.

There's a bug where if you leave items in the 2x2 crafting slot and reset the game they'll disappear, and it explains why I lost a stack of red stone blocks....

Not everyone may agree with you and I may not agree with every change, however you fully deserve credit for putting your money where your mouth is and actually making a mod to put your ideas into practice. I may be out of my 2 week minecraft period rn but I am definitely gonna try this mod when I come back

There are a few things that I feel like just became more complicated, and I don't agree with those being a fix. Some mechanics also seem good but they're too time-consuming. Some mechanics are just too op and easy to abuse. And some mechanics are bloated in random mechanics. There are a few ideas that I agree with though. I guess my opinion of this mod is half half. Cool mod!

Thanks for taking the time to create these ideas and even more so actually turning it into a mod 💪

Constructive enchanting criticism: Love most of the changes to do with enchanting: I like that you might need multiple tools/armour sets as you can't combine things in an anvil anymore I like the new netherite anvil and how in the late game it does feel like slowly getting closer to max gear I like that you can't spam the grindstone infinitely I like the new use for enchanted books, especially that there's now a choice between using them with chiselled bookshelves - for a sort of medium permanent enchanting buff - or just smacking them on your amour straight away for an instant big boost. It makes exploring and finding new books even more satisfying. However there's one thing I very much don't like: Before I went to the nether I had around 56 levels and I found that with only spending around 16 lapis and 16 levels I could get full prot 4 armour and tools with sharpness 5, power 5, efficiency 5 ect. I understand that you can't combine anything anymore so you can only get one enchant on each tool, but having full prot 4 at only around 30% of the game is insane, and getting efficiency 5 tools with only help fund diamond and xp production, so it'll only be easier to keeping renewing the OP enchants and tools It didn't feel like "slowly improving gear" when going from an iron sword to sharpness 5 diamond... I'm not sure about what the solution would be to this, but I think it should be way, WAY more time consuming and expensive to get these enchants so early, possibly needing something more than just an enchanting table and 15 bookshelves, which aren't that hard to obtain with a sugar cane and cow farm But again, love all the other changes with enchanting and everything else, keep at it!!

My comment disappeared? Well I was going to reply and say “I’m glad I was wrong about the insomnia mechanic, since it seemed ridiculously OP! If you could just eat five membranes to get the insomnia lvl 5. I think I’ve gotten to level 2 insomnia before. I have a question since the higher your insomnia level more phantoms spawn so at level 5 is it like the horde of like twenty spawn? Also, you should really consider going into game design if you haven’t already.

Man I thought this in Forge, now I can't even use it for my pack :(

Having changes to the structures to show tutorials is such a great idea. Interesting idea with the food system not too sure if I’d enjoy that. Will you be doing a forge or 1.20.1 port?

23:25 wrong pigs should drop bones

I don’t get how you can either heavily nerf or completely remove certain farms and then say this version is better or fixed, especially the iron farm. You didn’t even do anything to make it easier to mine or get iron another way. In fact, you made in harder and more difficult with the changes made to enchanting. You've made mending more difficult to get and more expensive to use but did nothing to actually adress why people want it so much. Now not only will tools and items break more often, it will be even harder to get good tools in the first place. There's acruallt a lot in this mod that seems to just make the game more tedious or harder for no reason in general. Making the repair item for totems of undying the nether star and then heavily nerfing how you can obtain them because they're "repairable" now is utterly laughable. The kneecapping of the elytra is a bit to far, imo. Making the only way to get usable rockets through dragons breath, where you even made the fight harder, means that the elytra is now next to useless in terms of actually using it as a form of transport. 90% of the time you aren't going to have any form of propulsion so you say goodbye to any form of flight longer than a couple hundred blocks at best depending on how high of a cliff you jump from.

a lot of these changes may sound good but are more likely to make the game more annoying. same way how games give enemies more HP to make the game harder but it ends up being more tedious than hard

but can it run doom?

Damn those are good stuff

Wintergatan music =D

mod dosn't make the game like fortnite at all. unsubed

I've been waiting for this since the first video Edit: I suppose the mod is already released, but do you think it would also be possible to make finding slime chunks more reasonable/less luck based, kind of like the biome maps from wandering traders

Moon phases and their effects: 🌕Full moon (Fishing buff) 🌔Waning gibbous (Difficulty +1) 🌓Third quarter (Difficulty +2, Farming buff) 🌒Waning crescent (Difficulty +3) 🌑New moon (Difficulty +4, Looting buff) 🌘Waxing crescent (Difficulty +3) 🌗First quarter (Difficulty +2, Fortune buff) 🌖Waxing gibbous (Difficulty +1)

The map changes were honestly brilliant, disagree with some of the elytra changes, but other than that this was solid.

This is the type of mod that should be in vanilla, NOW

OMG FINALLYYY!!!!

38:42 The totem of "undying" is already useless as it is. It does not work from your inventory, you need to hold it. When it activates, it takes 15-20 seconds to recharge your HP, instead of jumping from 0 to 10. It is just a slightly better golden apple. Respawning in your bed gets you back to 10 HP faster than this pointless nick-knack. A need to activate it yourself, makes it even more pointless. If anything, the totem needs a buff, not a nerf. Make it work from anywhere in your inventory. And give me the 10 hearts now, not (maybe) in 15-20 seconds.

Are you still looking for help with the mod? I'm interested in the project

😭😭😭 but flying with elytra and Riptide is my favorite thing to do

I have a suggestion for fishing and guardians. I think the heart of the sea should be dropped by the elder guardian instead of dropping sponge. It is called a heart after all and the guardian laser is similar to the conduit's attack. The monument also includes the blocks needed to power the conduit. Sponge should instead be obtained through fishing on the "level 3" loot (the one with ingots). Additionally, the top tier fishing loot should only be obtainable while under the effects of conduit power, so that it's only possible to farm conduits if you already have one to begin with, thus encouraging the player to defeat a monument first.

The map book is maybe the best implementation anyone has ever done for vanilla like maps in the game.

So many mods claim to “fix” vanilla, and then provide solutions that are either overdone, over complicated or simply do not fit in with Minecraft’s nature. This is the first mod I’ve seen that actually feels spiritually Minecraft vanilla at its core. So many of these features are such small things, but i think it really does add up to make the player experience overall better as a whole. I’ll probably wait on downloading this because I want to experience it once you’ve worked on it a bit more, but it looks fantastic so far!

I play this game since beta 1.5 in early 2011... I always felt like modern Minecraft got too bloated with unfinished features to ever fix. For this reason I often play on beta-based mods such as Better than Adventure, that captures that balanced survival feeling from older versions while fixing and improving the more polished beta experience. So extra congratulations to you sir. I believe you cracked the code here, and I'll give your mod a try any day now. Some people may criticise you but they often forget that this game originally was about survival back in 2010/2011. When Jeb took over as the creative director, the game sort of lost itself in this "dragon-enchantment-potions-rpg" phase, and that never really got finished/polished or the people in charge decided in which direction the game should actually go. 'First nights' aren't challenging anymore not only because we grew older, but because we can now sprint from mobs that run 1/2 as fast as yourself and never face combat. So you can imagine my happiness seeing faster and more interesting monsters balanced for the modern Minecraft needs. If you're accepting suggestions, I'd suggest two: 1 - removing drops from skeletons/zombies burning from sunlight (In terraria for example in the morning mobs run away from you, so you're never rewarded for combat you didn't engage. That is not the case in Minecraft, where in the morning you can get armour and all of the bones you'll ever need for your farms by just standing there); 2 - Readding the nightmare mechanic from beta (but with better checks): This feature was the actual intended functionality of the bed, but was removed due to a bug with the checking mechanics - and instead of fixing it they completely removed the feature; but the original idea of beds was that you could only sleep IF you were in a lit up (block light) environment that was somewhat closed off to the elements (basically a valid house), or else you would be woken up at night by a zombie or a skeleton (nowadays I'd also add a message in chat so the player can learn from their mistake). This was the only feature in the entire game apart from enchantment tables that provide an actual reason for building anything, and provides the only balance for beds that are the only item which can be used to avoid surface-level combat completely. This would provide a much needed fix for people placing beds in random positions to skip nights just because they feel like it, at least you would have to build a small shelter to skip the night, just like in the old days. In terraria they create a reason for building by requiring a furnished house so NPCs can spawn for example, minecraft has no such feature, but the beds could provide that. I know you don't want to sustain this forever, but I believe you should take a look at the Better Than Adventure's implementations to draw some inspirations from there, as I think you are aligned in some interesting things and your mod can be made that much better. The only reason I play that mod is that it feels like an actual fun game, and I believe yours is headed in the same direction. (I'm ALMOST considering getting back to modding (I'm a developer and I was a Terraria modder, but I'd learn Minecraft modding for this hahaha) just to create addons for your mod 😅 I'm that excited) These are only suggestions so feel free to ignore them. Nonetheless, congratulations. I'll finish the two builds I have yet to finish on my better than adventure world and I'll playtest this and hopefully come back to state my experience. I never felt so hyped to play modern minecraft again, COULD THIS ACTUALLY MAKE SURVIVAL MINECRAFT FUN AND ENGAGING AGAIN?? :o Btw the map book thing is the most genius minimap/map implementation that feels vanilla that I've ever seen. Again, I feel like I'm repeating myself already, but congratulations!

I can’t wait for someone to add this mod to GTNH in some way creating an unholy union of realism, grind and quality of life balance.

oh my god, you werent kidding, YOU ACTUALLY FIXED IT??? this is SO AWESOME

For all the generations of players for which the game has aged out from their enjoyability, what you've done is the only way I see Minecraft existing with any relevancy for them in the future. Not in the sense that I think your changes are good at all but the idea that you customized the game how _you_ thought it should play. Taking the work upon yourself to keep cool ideas and scrap or redo asinine ones is THE MOST *sandbox* Minecraft can ever be. Coding up some way of modularizing the features of game and from what version they're taken from is a long time pipe dream of mine which I only started to seriously investigate the feasibility of this year. When I fail in that larger pursuit, I will inevitably do something akin to the project in this video... although, I will end up stripping out probably more than a quarter of content from the game entirely instead of conservatively trying to fix them. (Here's looking at you, _archeology!)_

this is amazing dude
