Description

KG3zJMU.pngThe Life & Death Update

With the theme of archeology being introduced in the Minecraft 1.20 "Trails & Tales" Update, it has quickly become clear that Mojang sadly only took a small step into the big world that is archeology.

It is our goal with this mod to improve upon the mechanics introduced in the update and expand the minecraft universe with new stuff to discover while staying true to the nature of the game.

We also plan to regularly update the mod to newer versions and provide new content in the weeks to follow.

 

Compatibility:

World gen - BA contains common (c:) biome tags as well as tags for the following mods:

Terralith, Oh The Biomes You'll Go, Project: Vibrant Journeys, William Wythers' Expannded Ecosphere, Biomes O' Plenty, Regions Unexplored

Misc - other miscellaneous compatibilities include:

ElytraSlot, Enchantment Descriptions, Cristel Lib

 

If you are missing a compatibility or if you struggle to find any structures with the mods installed, please open an issue.
