### "Reimagining Minecraft, one line of code at a time." Great Big World is a collection of mods packaged together with the goal of reimagining Minecraft under new design philosophies. It is a modern take on the "alternate timeline" genre most notably seen in [Better Than Adventure](https://www.betterthanadventure.net/) and [Not So Secret Saturday](http://notsoseecretsaturday.net). **This mod is currently in BETA!** Server-side issues have been resolved to a reasonable extent. Once the core gameplay features of the first phase are complete, the mod will enter Release. Check out the showcase videos on my [Youtube Channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX8IEmx-Rx0obJiCepGYYWA) for a better look! # Mod Structure Great Big World is organized into multiple sub-mods, which are all packaged together into a single jar file: ### Adventures Focusing on the world, terrain, Elytra, Villages, HUD, and travel: - World Start Options - Information HUD - Dynamic moonlight - Mountain & cave shacks - Bedframes ### Architect's Assembly Focusing on building, inventory, crafting, block placement, and recipes. - Missing blocks - Decorative blocks - Vertical slabs - Hotbar cycling - Glass shards - Armor stand arms ### Flora & Fauna Focusing on environments, animals, and seasons: - River variants - Modified biome colors - Modified biome features - Noise-based feature placement - Seasons - Improved animal behaviors - Stackable small plants - Fluid/snowlogging - Hollow logs ### Relics & Ruins Focusing on temples, relics, archaeology, and loot tables. - Swamp Temples - Unique decorative blocks - Unique Relic items - Balanced loot tables - Variant chests ### Swords & Shields Focusing on combat, equipment, enchanting, and monsters. - Dynamic HUD for combat - Enchantment system rework (in progress) ### The Alterworld Focusing on feature density. - Removal of some Overworld features (will be back later!) # FAQ:

Great Big World is incompatible with X mod!

Yes. Great Big World is not designed for compatibility with most other content mods. Rather, it is designed as an entirely standalone experience. There are exceptions though: performance and optimization mods such as Sodium should be compatible. If you find an issue with them, please open an issue on the issue tracker!

Can I use Great Big World in modpacks?

Probably not, but I'll consider it on a case-by-case basis. Please note that Great Big World has an ARR license, which does not allow redistribution (which includes using it in modpacks) with permission from me.

The issue with using GBW in modpacks relates to the above FAQ. There is no guarantee that GBW will be compatible with other content mods. If it were free to use in modpacks, I would be flooded with bug reports on compatibility issues that I've explicitly stated will not be fixed. If you wish to use GBW in a modpack, please contact me directly and I will make a decision. As a general guideline, if your pack is mostly QoL and optimization mods, GBW will be allowed. If it contains a large amount of other content mods, it will not.
