Frequently Asked Questions
Will "X" feature be backported?
The scope of the mod is to primarily add content features such as blocks, entities, even world generation, technical stuff doesn't have a priority, like data components on 1.16, not happening…
I don't want "X" feature in my world
The scope of the mod is to make almost anything toggleable, you don't like a feature? there's most likely a value in the config to disable it!
"X" resourcepack / datapack breaks with the mod
If you're using a resourcepack or datapack from a modern version, it may not work as intended as the minecraft json structures change overtime, the mod focus on adding features from newer version, not making things retrocompatible, so you'll most likely have to tweak the resourcepack or datapack yourself.
When will "X" update drop?
No clue, i'm a solo developer and life is unexpected, i can only notify what drops are being worked on and what changes are being made, i also drop public betas on the discord server when possible.
