Pines are new type of wood added in this mod. Pine trees are generating in taigas and high mountains. Pine wood is very resistant to fire but by hand you can destroy it very quickly.

Magic

This mod also adds new magic books and items to minecraft. Magic books are similar to enchanted books, however they are used not to enchant weapons, but to magically change the environment. There are around 15 new magic books in this mod. Some are used to summon bosses. Those cannot be crafted and must be found. There are also some special magic books that cannot be crafted and must be obtained by killing mobs or looting chests. Those which can be crafted are crafted on new workbench called "Writer's Desk". It can be found in ruins in either frozen tundra or volcano biomes. Recipes can be viewed in-game on writer's desk, so I will not show them all here. But there is one common item used in all recipes and that is Guide to Magic and Advanced Guide to Magic. These two items can be obtained by trading with wizard villager, wandering wizard or bartering with pillagers in exchange of rubies(yes you can now barter with pillagers if you are o their side). These guides are not lost after you use them in crafting recipe and after crafting of the book, they will return to your inventory. They have same texture s books so it is easy to confuse them with books. They are always used in middle of every recipe.

Because of magic books being very powerful, there is also a danger connected with them. That is the Specter. Specter is ghost-like creature teleporting around destroying, making terrible sounds Killing you, summoning monsters and such evil things.

How is the Specter summoned?

Specter can be rarely summoned by magic books that can change the time of day or by the "random"magic book that executes random magic.

How to know i've accidentaly summond the Specter?

Water will start freezing even if he is in hot biomes. He will change all cobblestone to mossy and all planks to jungle planks. He will destroy light sources and windows. Sometimes you may see a ghostly figure looking like hreobrine but don't worry it's just a Specter. You will also hear footsteps and ambeint sound randomly, invisible creature will open doors and even attack you!

How to prevent it?

Villager female priests and wizards have abilities to destroy specters. So to prevent such a disaster happening do this:

1. If you like to change the time of a day by magic book, or want to use random magic book do it far away from your base, in company of villager female priests or wizards.
2. After executing it, run away so Specter (if he will be summoned) won't be interested in you and will be easier for priests and wizard to destroy.

Steel ingot can be crafted by putting iron ingot into blast furnace.

Warhammers

Warhammers are strong weapons that can be crafted from any metal. They have rather specific combat. You must first right-click to recharge them and then you can attack with them. Cooldown and durability is depending on metal you made them from.

Example of crafting a warhammer.

Villager improvements

New villager professions

This mod adds 11 new villager professions. You can find this villagers spawning in Castle counties or there is a chance they will be born. You can breed them by feeding them with bread. They can only breed with villager females. Most of them resupply trades on crafting table or chest but there are some exceptions:

• Blacksmith - works on anvil
• Cook - works on furnace
• Enchanter - works on enchanting table
• Rancher - Works on hay bale or on fence gate when there is animal behind it.

From left to right: Gemtrader, Cook, Blacksmith, Goldsmith, Enchanter, Wizard, Miner, Lumberjack, Money Exchanger, Baker, Rancher.

Female villagers

Female villager don't have trades. Their function is to breed them with new villager professions or to use them as a delivery system. How does that work? Right click on them and their inventory will be opened. Put things like food or emeralds into their inventories and they will share them with entire village. Why is that important? More of this items villagers have, more they are willing to breed. Villagers can also regenerate their health if they have some food in their inventory. You can also pick things up from female villagers inventory.

Changes to vanilla villagers

This mod also changes vanilla villagers. There is list of all changes:

• If you give an adult weaponsmith villager a steel sword, they will transform to villager warrior.
• Butchers now kill animals to get meat. They will cook it and share it with rest of the village.
• Clerics throw healing potions at other villagers.
• Some villagers are able to craft things form other things. For example if you give a female villager iron ingot she will deliver it to weaponsmith and he will craft it to iron sword and give it back to her.
• There is chance of baby villager growing up and becoming female villager or new profession villager.

Some villagers.

Wizards

Wizards are humanoid entities, who will trade various items in exchange of emeralds. Items they trade are mostly items you can find when killing mobs or completing difficult quests. They will give you nice amount of emeralds for them. They can be found in castle counties or in sick enchanted forests. They come in both evil and good variant. Good wizards attack you when you are illager and vice versa. They are very powerful and their teleportation skills are outstanding.

Some good wizards.

Hireable warriors

Hireable warriors are entities that can be hired in exchange of emeralds. There are 10 hireable entities. You can halt them by right-clicking them (similar to wolfs).

How do they look hired.

The first three can only be hired if you are allied with illagers.

Wandering trader changes

Wandering traders are probably the most hated villager profession in minecraft. This mod aims to change it. It adds new variants to them and each variant sells and buys different things.

Oddment Trader - Good old wandering trader we all (except me) hate. Has two llamas.

Food Trader - Sells foodstuff. Has two mules.

Explorer - Sells maps to various structures. Has two tamed wolfs.

Wandering Smith - Sells the best weapons and armour in the known world. Has a donkey.

Wandering Philosopher - Sells enchanted books, normal books and stuff like that. He is wise. Has two llamas.

Some of them wandering around.

Billagers

Dangerous folks who attack you no matter on who side you are. They spawn in deserted savanna biome.

They are very different from each other, but one thing they have in common: Kill everybody you see!

Pirates

Pirates are illagers spawning on the beaches and islands. They can spawn with sword or crossbow. They have 20 health points and deals 8 damage.

Herobrine's Wraight

Herobrine's Wraights are the strongest illagers spawning only in armies of Herobrine, most commonly in Herobrine's lands. It is hard to overlook thems because they are 4 blocks tall and their health bar will be displayed same as withers or ender dragons. They have 200 health points and they deal 24 damage to you. Also their voices are terrible. Best way to kill them is to push them by your shield off the cliff or into ravine. They don't have fall damage so i probably will not kill them but they will not be dangerous to you anymore (of course if you will not fall into ravine with them).

Ghost

Ghosts are spooky mobs spawning in ghostly biomes. I will not tell you everything about them but you shall not forget to believe into people that do not exist.

Wood Folk

Wood folk are player-like magical people living in Glory Woods. They have female and male variants same as Villager Warriors. They have three professions- Mages: they sell yu magical and good items, Warriors: They protect the woods, you can hire them with emeralds but not breed them, Scouts: Good archers protecting woods and other people there.

Plains Folk

Similar to wood folk, plains-folk are also humanoid creatures. They spawn in Castle counties or Red towns and have male and female variant. They can be bred by bread. They also have Red knight variant what the strongest ranged unit that is hireable.

New Crops

This add-on adds two new crops: Corn and tomatoes. Both can be foun in farm in castle counties or their seed can be bought from food traders.

New Ores

This mod adds several new ores that can be found in overworld and end. Every ore must be smelted in furnace.

Becoming Illager

If you kill heavy villager warrior (spawning in castle counties), you will gain item called "Become bad". Use this item and it will appear on your head. Now every illager will stop attacking yo but villagers will. Doing this has advantages (you will be on stronger side), but also it has disadvantages (you will not be able to trade with villagers).

End Upgrade

The end dimension has been updated in this mod, to make it little more interesting, however to still keep the typical end boringness. These are few new features that have been added to the end:

• New and grass so you can gain sticks in the end

Preview of the diamond and coal in End.

New animals

Bears

Bears are very similar to polar bears. You can find them in forest caves at night. When you get too close to their children, every parent in range of 80 blocks will attack you.

Ducks

Ducks are passive mobs found in rivers. When killed they will drop feathers and duck meat. They hate cods, so they are eating them.

Deers

Deers are animals found in forests. You can breed them with wheat and carrots. when you kill them they will drop leather.

Bosses

This mod adds several new bosses to minecraft. They can be summoned if you find item that when used summons them.

First of all bosses is Ugha-Khyzrdumh. He is gigantic billager with a shield and a mace. He attacks everyone.

Next is Herobrines wraight. He is only boss that spawns naturally. Attacks everyone, no matter who side they are on.

Third is Illusioner. He attacks you only if you are not illager. He spawns illusion that disappear after few seconds. He can be summoned by blowing his horn, found in his tower.

Then we have Herorbine. He is probably the hardest boss and attacks you always. He has 2500 health points. Can be killed only with sword of 42 dimensions.

Next is Il-Ar-Ner. He summons other illagers. Attacks you only if you are not illager.

Sixth boss is Jhens. He attack you only if you are illager.

Seventh is Baba Jaga. She throws a potion of wither at you, heals herself and summons witches. She attacks you no matter who you are.

After her you can meet the Wildfire. He spawns in nether fortresses. Drops "Crow of the King of the Nethter" item after killed, that when used appears on your head and gives you fire resistance. Is as good as netherite helmet.

Then there is the Giant. It is a giant zombie found in desert mountains. He isn't particularly wise.

Last but not least is the Eyes of the City. He only attacks when you look into his eyes, because he ins an Enderman. He looks like and enderman with blue eyes and blue stripes going down from his shoulders.

From all the bosses you can get very good loot.

Armies

Armies are events similar to pillager patrols that spawn in the world. You can find small villager and illager armies spawning all around the world. Bigger illager armies can be found in creeperlands. Big zombie and skeleton armies with herobrines wraights as their leaders.

The beta version of the mod is still in development, so you might see some things visibly missing or being unfinished/unpatched.

The info about how to update to this version under the current circumstances can be found in Installation Description at the bottom of this page.

This section of the page is something like extended changelog. Unless stated otherwise, all features from 1.1.5 version of the mod are also present in this version.

New Mobs

Dwarfs

Dwarfs are small villager like creatures living in The Mountain biome and Alps biome. They are a great miners and crafters, and more than happy to trade with you. By trading with the dwarfs you are able to acquire medium-good weapons and armour also with top-tier pickaxes.

However there is a catch to these jolly people. Most importantly that they are split into two clans (Mountain and Alpine respectively), that are waging a war against each other, and only you can be the one to stop it.

Mountain Clan

Dwarfs from the mountain clan are know by their love of trade and exploring what's beyond their borders. That's why you are able to find many dwarfish merchants wandering the world that are from this clan. Their other specification is work with silver, that, as you can see they use for their armour. Amber is most beloved gem of these people and therefore they use it as their currency.

Alpine Clan

Alpine dwarfs love gold. They dig deep under their mountains to find it, and it is very uncommon to see one above ground, or even more, abroad. They are smaller than the Mountain Clan, and are scared of (but don't attack) wood folk and gnomes. Their most beloved gem is ruby. These dwarfs are also know for their strong beer, in fact strongest in the world.

Dwarfish Kings and Peace

The war of the two dwarfish clans is not permanent. And there is a pretty easy way to stop it. All you have to do, is go to the Black mountain (generates in every world around x=10900, z=10900), fight through the dungeon's of ancient dwarfish fortress, defeat the three-headed dragon, get the two crowns and take them with you. Easy, right?

Once you have done that, find the nearest dwarf lords and crown them (gold to the alpine and silver to the mountain one). They will not be hard to find amongst other dwarfs, since they wear longer beards and have decorated clothing with their clan's metal. Once you crown them, the word will immediately start to spread, and everyone will be too busy celebrating to fight. But you might have a little problem communicating with them, but don't worry, google translator can help.

Billagers

Billagers are getting a huge revamp in 1.1.6 version of Better Adventures. They are no longer a mixed folk of random-villager looking people living in small village looking houses in a savanna landscape. Now they are a proud and evil people living in huge cities, that have nothing like them in the world. Their weapons are powerful and their cities hold many riches. But don't expect they will let you take them!

There is no way that you will get on their side. They are hostile no matter who's side you are on. To conquer their cities you have to defeat or enslave (by clicking with lead on them if they don't try to attack you) all their inhabitants, which is without some help impossible, and then destroy all their flag posts (hence image below), so they will stop spawning.

There are two ways how you would do that. Either you align with the gnomes and lead them to the battle or (if you are an illager), you use the great magic wisdom and power of illagers and destroy both of them and take their land and possessions.

Gnomes

Gnome are elf-like savanna people, that are, in some sense the anti-billagers. They live in a simple tent built villages, mostly with a circular shape and hole in the middle. They are not hostile toward you unless you are aligned with the illagers, but whenever they see a billager, they attack him.

Gnomes can be used as a powerful weapon against the billagers. They can be lead by just simply holding a silver sword or Sword of the Day. Or they can be hired by interacting with their captain and then giving the gnomes he called some emeralds. By trading with them you can also acquire precious things like, for example tea.

Kneeling

Kneeling is a creature from western Slavic folklore. It's an old looking fragile lady, standing far in the night and when she sees a child that's not home at such a late hour, she eats it. They can be heard coming from afar for their significant high-pitched bells.

I've made them spawn only in plains. They are not as much dangerous as zombies or skeletons for you, but are very for any kind of baby mob that walks alone in the night. if you kill them, you can get kneeling's staff dust, which can be used for potion brewing.

Dragons

Dragons can be found in the wild mountains region of the world, which generates on every seed between the coordinates x 10900 and 11800, spanning infinitely in the z axis. Green and grey dragons spawn around the abandoned dwarfish mine entrances, and red dragons can be found in the mines. Green and red dragons drop no loot, since they only guard the loot in the mines, but grey dragons drop keys to the Black Mountain (read more that about it below). Colour of the dragon represents its type. Those are:

• Red - Fire
• Grey - Smoke
• Green - Poison

The Count

The Count is a villager, that is respected by many villagers. He can be found in castle counties structure in plains, more specifically, he can be summoned by blowing a horn in a barrel next to his seat in the castle buildings (which are quite rare). If you are a friend of his, he can, for some price, make you some favours, like promote by you chosen villagers to warriors. If you, on the contrary wish to kill him, you can get a "Count's Jewel" from him. This item can be with the help of evokers be crafted into a powerful weapon.

Villagers

I've completely scrapped the previous Better Adventures three villager mobs and implemented them all into the vanilla one. That means that vanilla villagers now have genders and 9 more professions. The new professions are however a bit different from the vanilla ones, by the fact that you don't have a complete control over them. Now the villager professions are split into three categories:

Vanilla - unemployed villager becomes this profession if jobsite block is available:

• Toolsmith
• Weaponsmith
• Librarian
• Butcher
• Stone Mason
• Leather Worker
• Fisherman
• Fletcher
• Cartographer
• Shepherd
• Cleric

Random - unemployed villager has a chance taking this profession if jobsite block is available:

• Armorer (50% Blast Furnace)
• Blacksmith (50% Blast Furnace) - Turns ores into metals.
• Farmer (50% Composter)
• Rancher (50% Composter) - Trades animal related items, villages with ranchers have a higher animal spawn rate around them. When rancher acquires a new animal to the village, they make a happy "Hrrrn!" sound.

Backup - Villager has a random chance choosing one of these after being unemployed for roughly two days:

• Wizard - Trades magic books and related items (Enchanting Table or Writer's Desk)
• Gemtrader - Exchanges gems for emerald (Crafting Table or Chest)
• Baker - Bakes (Furnace or Crafting Table)
• Money Exchanger - Exchanges gold, silver and emeralds (Crafting Table or Chest)
• Enchanter - Trades Enchant books and enchants items (Enchanting Table or Writer's Desk)
• Cook - Cooks food (Furnace or Crafting Table)
• Goldsmith - Works with gold (Crafting Table, Chest or Anvil)

Biomes

Vanilla

In this version of Better Adventures, many vanilla biomes have been reworked to fit better with other features of the mod, and also to not make them look so repetitive. For that I've introduced something called "biome variations". It's a simple concept, that one biome can look different on different places. That makes the world more interesting, without the need to add more biomes (plus it is a cool way to have more varied world with MCPE-100700 bug). If you need to know, here is a list of every reworked biome and their variants:

• Plains - Lavender, Oak Woods, Wild Orchard, Short-Grass Plains (the "normal" plains), Tall-Grass Plains (like in MC Java) + Every of these variants can generate castle counties variant in it.
• Forest - Oak + Chestnut + Fruit Trees, Oak + Chestnut + Elm, Oak + Chestnut + Hornbeam, Oak + Pine, Beech + Oak, Beech + Oak + Pine. All of these can also generate small patches of birch variant.
• Meadow - Flowery (the "normal" meadow), Berry Bush Meadow, Highland Pine Forest, Highland Spruce + Pine Forest, Highland Larch + Spruce + Fir Forest.
• Taiga - Spruce + Fir + Oriental Spruce, Oriental Spruce + Spruce, Fir
• Birch Forest - Birch Forest, Aspen + Birch Forest, Pink Birch Forest
• Old Growth Birch Forest - Birch Forest, Golden Birch Forest, Beech + Oak + Birch + Chestnut Forest, Aspen + Enchanted Trees + Birch + Oak Forest.
• Flower Forest - Oak + Birch + Fruit Trees, Oak + Birch + Elm, Oak + Birch + Hornbeam, Oak + Birch + Pine, Oak + Birch + Larch. All these variants have also a variant that generates Enchanted Trees.
• Old Growth Pine Taiga - Spruce + Tall Pine + Tall Spruce, Pine + Tall Pine + Grey Tall Pine.
• Old Growth Spruce Taiga - Tall Spruce + Pine +Spruce, Tall Fir + Tall Spruce + Fir.
• Windswept Hills - Marble, Diorite, Bluebell Marble, Bluebell Diorite.
• Windswept Forest - Pine, Pine Shrubs.
• Savanna - Barley Savanna, Grassy Savanna (the "normal" Savanna).
• Desert - Sand Desert (the "normal" Desert), Grass Desert.
• Roofed Forest - Dense Forest, Dark Forest (has a higher chance of generating villager and illager hideouts), Woodland, Old Forest
• Grove - Spruce Grove, Fir Grove

Examples:

Wizard's tower in Pine + Oak + Birch + Fruit Trees variant of Flower Forest.

Beech + Oak variant of Forest.

Tall Fir + Tall Spruce + Fir variant of Old Growth Spruce Taiga

Oak Woods variant of plains.

Dark Forest (to the right) and Dense Forest (to the left) variants of Roofed Forest.

Beech + Oak + Birch + Chestnut Forest variant of Old Growth Birch Forest.

Berry Bush Meadow variant of Meadow.

Barley Savanna variant of Savanna.

Trees in one of taiga's variants.

Highland Pine Forest variant of Meadow.

Castle Counties variant in Tall-Grass variant of plains.

Town in Castle Counties.

Wild Update artwork inspired Birch Forest variant of old Growth Birch Forest.

Hideout in Dark Forest variant of Roofed Forest.

Custom

Because of the MCPE-100700 bug, I couldn't have advanced much in updating/adding some more custom biomes without downgrading the world, which would be counterproductive, since I wanted to use some o the new Wild Update blocks. So all changes I did to custom biomes was that I remove those that were no longer necessary from the time they were remade to variants of the vanilla ones. Those are:

• Woodland Hills
• Woodland Mountains
• Lower Woods
• Beech Forest
• Fir Taiga
• Scottish Highland
• Pine Highland
• Castle Counties
• Billager Lands
• Hills
• Grassy Hills

Items and Blocks

Magic Rings

Magic accessories can be a powerful weapons if they get into your hands. They can be found all thought the world. Currently there are 5 magical accessories, but I do plan on greatly increasing their number in future updates.

• Ring of Fire - can be found in a Nether Fortress, possesses a great destructive power.
• Ring of Light - Wood-Folk are found selling these rings, they are of least "power" of all the others, creates temporary light around user.
• Ring of Vindication - evokers craft them from some lapis and the Count's Jewels, they turn all nearby villagers into vindicator slaves (or "Vildicators").
• Ring of Water - can be found i special type of underwater ruins, temporarily floods the area around its user.
• Gnomish Amulet - increases health and regenerativness of its bearer.

Flowers

Beechfoot, Birchleaf, Bluebell, Lavender, Marigold and Moonflower are new flowers added to the Better Adventures Mod. They serve mainly decorative purposes, but from all of them, suspicious stew can be crafted.

• Beechfoot is a flower sometimes growing underneath beech trees.
• Birchleaf grows in Wood-Folk woods and Old Growth Birch Forest biomes.
• Bluebell can be found growing in stony conditions of windswept biomes.
• Lavender grows in lavender plains.
• Marigold is a widespread flower growing in forests and jungles.
• Moonflower can be found growing in jungles or Wood-Folk woods.
• Many more, however completely useless plants have also been added but they serve no purpose whatsoever, like toadstools or small flowers in birch forests.

New Wood Types

Hornbeam is a decorative log that does no have it's own planks - uses oak instead.

Same goes for elm. These trees exist only for purposes of decoration and variation.

Maple is a new wood type, growing everywhere east of Wild Mountains fixed structure instead of chestnut.

Chestnut grows in many temperate biomes west of the Wild Mountians. Wizard towers are built using this wood, since it has this "magical purple" to it.

Wild Mountains and other Fixed Structures

Fixed structures are buildings or terrain features that generate looking almost exactly the same on exactly the same coordinate in every generated world.

Wild Mountains

The Wild Mountains are a group of fixed structures generated in the area from x 10900 to x 11800.

The mountain range

Wild Mountains mountain range is a permanent adjustment of Minecraft's terrain from x 10900 to x 11800, spanning infinitely in the z direction. It generates extremely high mountainous terrain, no matter what biome has generated there. It splits the world into two parts, the west and the east, which in future updates will have more distinct features (currently it's just minor difference in flora). Trees are also generated in this region independently from biomes, with on the west slopes it being larch, fire, pine and spruce and on the east slopes it's maple, spruce and pine. Wildflowers grow in the entire mountain region. Their suspicious stew might be very useful when trying to cross them.

Black Mountain

Black Mountain is a dungeon in the from of a gigantic mountain, that reaches the top of Mincraft's world at y 319. Whole Mountain is made of black stone, only breakable by lead pickaxe (lead can be found in high mountains biome, to melt it you have to use melting furnace from the black mountain dungeon powered by lava). On its west slope there is a small entrance that needs to be unlocked by key dropped by grey dragons. Once you get in, your only way out is killing the three-headed golden dragon. But as your reward you will get the crowns necessary for the coronation of the dwarf lords. I should also remind you that once you die inside the mountain, there is no way to get back in there, so bring some beds to be able to respawn inside. The mountain itself can be found around coordinates x 10900, z 10900.

Waypoints

There are two waypoint looking fixed structures in the wild mountains. First one is on the Main Road before the first hill of the range from that direction, on a crossroad. Second finger-looking one is fund couple hundred blocks from the first one, if you follow the road labeled as "Im Himmel". Those waypoints serve no function in the current version of the mod, but soon they will play an important role.

The finger-like one.

Roadmeet Castle

Roadmeet Castle generates in the literal center of the world, at x 0, z 0 and therefore should be your default spawning location, unless it generated in middle of the ocean. The castle is made of four outer identical towers, four inner identical towers and some wall, but overall it's in pretty desolate state.

Roadmeet has some generic start game loot like planks or bronze nuggets. As with all fixed structures in the mod yet, it's not completely finished and will serve a more interesting purpose in the future.

Weird Pillar

Weird pillar, similar to the waypoints, is currently a purposeless fixed structure that generates around x 420, z 420. It towers into the sky with its top being snow-covered no matter what biome you are in. It has a spiral path to the top alongside which are scattered ruins on some old fortress.

Roads

Roads are a fixed structures generated to help the player navigate around the world. There are two types of roads, with all of them emerging from the Roadmeet Castle.

• Main Road - Main or Great Road is a fixed road spanning infinitely in the x direction, following z coordinate 0. It never takes a turn and meets many other roads.
• "Random Roads" - Random roads are generated by an algorithm making them generate everywhere in the world, seemingly randomly, but there is actually the same pattern on every seed, it's just the world that is different. Taverns can also generate alongside these roads.

The beta version of the mod is still in development, so you might see some things visibly missing or being unfinished/unpatched.

The info about how to update to this version under the current circumstances can be found in Installation Description at the bottom of this page.

This section of the page is something like extended changelog. Unless stated otherwise, all features from 1.1.5 and beta 1.1.6 version of the mod are also present in this version.

New/Renewed Mobs

Plains-Folk

Get ready to experience a whole new level of medieval warfare with the latest update to the Plains-Folk! This update brings exciting additions to the world of Minecraft, including the introduction of clans, kings, and lords, adding depth and strategy to your gameplay.

Clans have been added in six different colors: Red, Blue, Brown, Green, Black, and Count's clan. Each clan has its own unique abilities and characteristics. The Red clan, led by the powerful kings, is considered the ruling clan and has the most formidable armor. Kings have the ability to turn other lords into lords of their own clan, expanding their influence and power.

The Count's clan, on the other hand, doesn't engage in direct combat with other clans. However, their warriors have the unique ability to convert into members of the Red clan, since the counts are inferior to the kings and if they are reminded they prove their allegiance.

Knights, the loyal soldiers of the clans, are now assigned to a clan that matches the color of the lord whose territory they spawn in. Count's knights are spawned alongside the Count in Castle Counties, ready to defend their territory and spread the peace (untill the king breaks it all).

Speaking of kings, they now spawn in newly redesigned red towns. If a king dies, another lord is selected to be the new king. If the new king is from the Red clan, they become a powerful king with the ability to command other lords. However, if the new king is not from the Red clan, they become the "Overthrower king," wielding no actual power and serving as a puppet king under the player's control.

This unique mechanic adds a strategic element to the game, as players can manipulate the dynamics of power among the clans.

Lords are at the head of their local clan and play a crucial role in spreading their clan's influence. The more knights a lord converts from unfactioned to their clan's color, the more influence they gain.

But that's not all! Players now have the option to join a clan by wearing their helmet, allowing them to fight alongside and hire warriors from their chosen clan, and expand their influence in the game world.

New Villager mechanics

What would it be an update for Better Adventures mod, without adding some new villager mechanic? This time it is the ageing mechanic. This mechanic is made to prevent villagers from being able to have infinitely many children, with infinitely many villagers. It works like this:

1. There is one or more free beds in a village
2. Two villagers of opposite gender (due to bugs rarely it happens to be two female villagers, don't worry working on the fix👍) mate
3. They have 1-3 children
4. With each child there is 33.33% percent for both of the parents to become "old"
5. When this happens, both of the parents will have visually aged, their walking speed halves and they can no longer have children
6. Old villagers DO NOT die of old age, but because of how slow they are, they have lower chance of running away from enemies, and mot of the time get caught and killed, SO PROTECT THE ELDERLY!!!
7. The children grow up, and process repeats if someone dies again.

You may have noticed that this mechanic breaks all the inhumane villager-breeder farms. I wonder if it was intentional...

Biomes

Even though no biomes have been added in this beta version, many have been reworked providing new fresh experience in otherwise old loved biomes. Those biomes are:

• Wilderland
• Larch Taiga
• Alps
• The Mountain
• Ancient Woods
• Ghostly Island
• Red Plains
• Finland

However, this beta started the well-necessary remake of all the biomes currently in the mod, so that means all that have not been renewed are currently hidden even on the base-game-versioned template. As more beats get released, more biomes get renewed and made available again (and lets hope that not just on the template).

New wilderland.

Alps biome has been completely reworked featuring beautiful natural scenery with many variants. Alpine dwarves have also finally received their own generated structures in which they can now be found.

Mountain dwarves, even though their biome has been already mostly finished, still received some improvements.

Ancient Woods, the gorgeous biome of the Wood-Folk now has game-changing number of over twenty variants and a ton of new structures.

Ghostly biome has been remade to feature 100% more underground dungeons with 400% better loot and to be 800% more dangerous (you can't possibly survive there without some special equipment...). Also dead beech trees have been added to the biome making it look 200% better. Currently the biome generates in colder climate conditions, but don't get used to it! In future version it is planned to generate as islands in the sea.

Fixed Structures

Castle of the Dead

Castle of the dead is a mysterious castle found on the western slopes of the Wild Mountains around coordinates x: 10500 and z: -48000. As you approach into the valley you see a castle high up in the clouds, with no windows but two spiky towers with ornaments and a wall blocking the further entrance into the basin. There are multiple entrances in, whether it is the bridge from the nearest peak leading to the entrance to the lower halls, or by the mountain ridge, leading you directly to the acropolis.

This is the residence of the Gwarcheidwad-Yr-Cysgodion, Lord of the Dead, by men commonly known as just Khris Þe Healdere ("The Holder") and his fellow followers. He is NOT EVIL nor does he fight for the good, his main job is, well, he will tell you what it is... Whatever his intentions might be, his help is necessary when you wish to enter the Ghostly biome and loot it's riches. He might be found at the throne room in the acropolis of the castle.

Experimental Scripts Pack

This beta version introduces something completely new, never seen in the history of this mod. It is the "Better Adventures Scripts Pack", an another behaviour pack installed when you download the mod. It is not auto-enabled on the base-game-template, since it uses the new expanded gametest scripting API, which is still in the development.

This API allows me, as a creator, to posses far more powerful tools with which I can mod Minecraft, creating more immersive and unique experience, different from other mods. Currently only feature included in this behaviour pack are randomized entity names, but this is just the start. In future updates this pack will be necessary for the proper function of this mod, implementing new core features, that are currently in design.

Randomized entity names

Randomized entity names are exactly what they sound like. NPCs can now be identified as individuals by having their own unique name, displaying over them, as if you named them with a name tag. The entities that have been given this privilege are:

• Billagers
• Dwarves
• Wood-Folk
• All Illagers
• Plains-Folk
• All Villagers (including witches)

In the future, more entities will get more unique names, such as the Gnomes. This method is still in testing and can potentially create lag spikes on weaker devices, sometimes causing scripting watchdog to shut down the server.

The beta version of the mod is still in development, so you might see some things visibly missing or being unfinished/unpatched.

The info about how to update to this version under the current circumstances can be found in Installation Description at the bottom of this page.

This section of the page is something like extended changelog. Unless stated otherwise, all features from 1.1.5, beta 1.1.6 and beta 1.1.7 versions of the mod are also present in this version.

Important bug fixes

This update fixes critical bugs that occurred when updating worlds playing this add-on to Minecraft version 1.19.80, causing many blocks to disappear.

New/Renewed Biomes

Creeperlands

In this update, the oldest biome added to this mod has received the biggest update yet. It is no longer a boring barren wasteland with gravel and obsidian making up the most of the biome. Now it's a devastated country in which ruled over by the Billagers!

Creeperlands are subdivided into two more biomes. The Creeperlands Valley and Creeperlands Volcano.

The Volcanic Mountains are a challenging place to live in. Up there, there is absolutely nothing that would help you survive. The entire hills are made of many volcanic stones such as tuff and obsidian. Deespalte and regular stone do make up some areas and streams of magma running like rivers can be spotted on surface. No animals and even almost no monsters can be found up there, making it a very lonely place and the fumes of white ash do complete the depressing atmosphere. However these mountains hold the richest iron deposits in all the world, making their wider area attractive to Billagers.

The valleys are constantly under the ashfall from the volcanic mountains around, making it a hard place to breathe in. The grass is yellowish dry but on some places it gets replaced by bare stone. Oaks however managed to survive and are growing pretty commonly though many of them had already seen their best days. But the most defining aspect of those valleys are the great Billager slave camps, a circular structures with Billager watchtower in the middle surrounded by huts, fields and mines where poor villagers have to work hard under the harsh supervision of the Billagers. Red and black flags of Billagers do fly in the air reminding the slaves of who they are working for and spreading despair. It's said that sometimes on evil place such as this, you can see a ghostly figure, an ancient horror, a man with glowing eyes looking from afar, controlling, checking upon his servants.

The beta version of the mod is still in development, so you might see some things visibly missing or being unfinished/unpatched.

The Herobrine Update

Usually I split the additions and changes into multiple categories such as Mobs and Biomes, but this time it would just be useless, since this update has been fixed upon only one feature: The Herobrine.

Some of you may have noticed that Herobrine has been a feature of this mod for a few years now. But he felt incomplete, and so we have decided to give him some love that this feature deserves. From the almost unnoticeable side-boss that many people have never encountered throughout their gameplay at all, we have made the final, late game boss fight and spread his (Herobrine's) influence all over the Minecraft world. Here's how what we have done.

The Overworld

You can now feel Herobrine's influence all over the overworld, much stronger than before. Billagers, monsters and evil (corrupted) piglins now have the tendency to raid lands far and wide, sometimes taking creepers with them for destructive effects. It is said that amidst those raid, you can sometimes see a tall man-like figure with glowing eyes...But that just scratches the surface of what Herobrine's presence in the overworld is. In the previous beta, we have added the Creeperlands, a biome where evil Billagers use their villager slaves to work for them. In that biome you are also able to get glimpses of Herobrine, standing somewhere on the horizon. But now, this biome has gained (or re-gained) a new subbiome: The Herobrine's Lands.

This place is a living hell, feeling more like a biome suit for the nether than the overworld. Evil creatures roam the place, and lighting is a common occurrence. The biome feature ominous buildings serving evil purposes, and many portals leading to the nether are open, from where the dreadful beasts are exported. That place is pure evil and survival in there is hardly possible (or at least when Herobrine is still undefeated). Yet this is a place you need to travel to if you want to meet Herobrine face-to-face and end his terror.

There is a certain type of tower in the Herobrine's lands. It's bigger than the others and much more special. It is this tower you want to find (keep in mind that there will be a lot of fighting both inside and out). Inside this tower there is somewhere on an upper floor a nether portal. But not just a normal nether portal. It's a special one, leading to a very special place. A very dark place. The Hells of the Nether.

The Hells

The Hells of the Nether are a huge corridoor-prison maze-like complex in the far east of the nether, with an area comparable to German capital of Berlin (with the assumption that 1m^2 corresponds to one block). Unlike Berlin, It's the residence of Herobrine. The portal takes you to the central, and the only actually important chamber in the complex - the throne room.

Herobrine Defeated

Once you have defeated Herobrine, you will be given worthy reward item. Mogus the Wizard will after the fight spawn at the end of the bridge before Herobrine's throne. Talk to him and he will take you back to the overworld and also tell you what to do with your reward. Once you are back to the overworld you might notice some changes. Zombies and skeletons stop spawning so armored and altogether spawn less frequently. Corrupted piglins and creepers disappear entirely, shadowy figures of Herobrine are nowhere to be seen and Herobrine's lands become empty of all the mobs once spawning there. You have rid the world of Herobrine's curse.
