I fixed Minecraft's boring exploration

[@ryonhatcher4561]

Things are getting interesting quickly! Here's an idea: Why not make the Structures go through a tier system? Some structures can be easy and simple, and some structures can get increasingly harder, with tougher mobs, trickier traps, and even nightmarish bosses.

[@igneo220]

yeah! That's how the progressions gonna work! I don't think I'll go about labeling a tier for each one but there should be several dungeons similar in difficulty, as you look higher and higher in how difficult each dungeon should be

[@viniciusgoulart5077]

A youtuber named Green_jab made a video where he suggests that elytras could only be boosted by a "dragon firework", which would require dragon breath + normal fireworks to be crafted. This could be an interesting way to balance exploration without fully removing the boost functionality (because dragon breath is not farmable enough that the elytra could be spammed). He also has many other cool suggestions on his video, so I highly recommend it Also really enjoying your ideas for the game! Good stuff man

[@igneo220]

well it still hurts the value of the airships should it get included, so i dunno, but I'm glad you like it!

[@StuffandThings_]

@@igneo220 I think airships are still super valuable as an item transport. If anything, I think airships themselves hurt the functionality of long term infrastructure like rail tunnels and would be used all the time. I think making rocket boosting possible but valuable is a great way to rebalance it, as then they would be saved for special players/occasions while keeping a pretty fun mechanic in the game. Hell, you could even use boosted Elytra in airship battles to really spice things up! But, for long exploration projects it would be an unviable method, maybe at most have one scout or something. So, I support this idea for dragon breath fireworks! But also, its worth looking into better infrastructure options too, trains are a start but there could be SO much more variety and powerful infrastructure tools! Edit: I would also highly suggest adding "Do A Barrel Roll," it makes the Elytra way more cool, interesting, and fun, and also raises the skill level needed to successfully and efficiently use it by a fair bit (so its a lot less mindless and there will be a lot more crashes 😈)

[@efs3]

The additions you made sound really smart! However you should keep in mind that the new risks should also come with some new rewards!

[@igneo220]

absolutely! Progression should be controlled carefully through my dungeons!

Hey I'm also making a modpack for my friends and I that has the exact same goals as you for your modpack! This really came in clutch especially for the elytra nerf so thanks, and I noticed you weren't using any fabric mods, maybe you already know and it's incompatible with some of your mods but there's a great mod called the Sinytra Connector that allows you to use Quilt & fabric mods. The Better End mod for example seems to work perfectly, and having used both better end and Nullscape, I think it's a personal preference thing but I find it to be 10x better, and it manages to keep a vanilla+ style. Also I think you should encourage the usage of armor trims, now there is a Forge "better trims" mod however, I'm going to be blunt, it sucks. the Better Trims Fabric mod works great with forge as well and does its job so well while allowing wiggle room for armor customization. I think having such an implementation would encourage exploration even more and it gives more interesting loot without it being busted items.

[@igneo220]

Sinytra unfortunately does not work with some of the mods I have installed. I do like the idea of armor trims but some of the fancier modded armors we have installed dont exactly work with them. Glad my video was helpful though!

[@CjsRandomContent]

WOW amazing video, only critique is to increase the audio vol in general, and to fade in the intro pigstep music just a bit rather than isntant

[@igneo220]

Thank you! Ill keep that in mind!

[@foolofdaggers7555]

I think elytras could be nerfed by adding more structures that are hard to spot from the air. Like maybe an unassuming door in a rocky hillside that leads to a whole network of dungeons or an underground village or whatever you want to put there.

[@igneo220]

That kinda still ruins infrastructure and ruins the epicness of some of the dungeons, both of which i dont want to trade out for the elytra

[@DaviSouza-b8q]

One mod I would like to see is spelunkery, I don't know if it will be compatible with your world gen mod, but the mod has a mechanic in which each biome has a more abundant ore, good for dominance wars in specific places.

[@igneo220]

mining will actually be done very different than how it works in vanilla, but it will be locale based!

[@StuffandThings_]

To be honest I still think Elytra are great as they are in Vanilla. Its sometimes fun to be able to effortlessly soar around terrain and bases without having to worry about more than right clicking a rocket. The _real_ cop out is twofold: Firstly, Elytra are way, _way_ too easy to get and maintain for their power. Mending books, and mending via XP, are way too easy, finding Elytra is way too easy, and rockets are way too easy to craft. Make this more difficult, and suddenly a full durability Elytra and a pocket stuffed full of rockets is a VERY valuable resource, saved for only the most deserving players of the settlement or only for the most important journeys. Secondly, (and this looks like something you've at least somewhat addressed) other transportation options are absolute garbage. Really I think that infrastructure for other stuff ought to be more rewarding, minecarts are borderline useless compared to how much it takes to set them up, while in reality train systems are by far the most efficient overland transportation. Boats have so much potential. What about horses? Shouldn't they be able to pull carts, and go far faster than they currently do? The Valkyrian Skies sorts out some of this, but paradoxically creates a similar issue to Elytra in the first place where one item (in this case an advanced airship probably) still beats out the challenge of setting up infrastructure long term in most cases. I don't mean to tell you how to run your server with this comment, just trying to add to the discussion as the blame is so often pinned solely on Elytra's functionality and not the means to that end and the alternative options.

[@igneo220]

Yes the airships are effectively to be a balanced elytra, much much harder to get, slower, but safer and can hold a lot of items. An airship wont beat the speed of a train, nor the carrying capacity, but it does beat it in versatility. I think both are still viable options in this way

[@StuffandThings_]

@@igneo220 Eh I still foresee airships as being the new catch all. The thing is the variable cost of operation is low enough that it doesn't offset the fixed cost of fancier infrastructure. Speed isn't a huge drawback and from what I understand carrying capacity can always be upgraded and will be more than enough with shulkers. I think a good way to offset this would be to add some additional operating cost to airships, particularly like with fuel or something, or additional benefits to infrastructure projects. I also do wonder if sky pirates would be a thing with elytra equipped players carrying out raids or something

You’re immediately wrong. Minecraft is a sandbox, it doesn’t have a main focus on anything.

I- by that logic mining isnt a focus... and it definitely is. You can have a sandbox game with focuses. An engineering game is a sandbox and that game is significantly different conceptually from Minecraft

i understand your concerns with minecraft exploration, but i think your ideas are not making the exploration better, and just focusing in creating infrastructure to go in new places, a exploration game should not force the player to spend hours making rails and grinding for it, instead of actually exploring, imagine if you wanted to playelden ring, and you had to place rails on the entire map or build giant flying ships to travel through it

[@igneo220]

I'm not forcing the player to build infrastructure in order to get around, im making it a way to get to certain places easier. You can carry warming and cooling armor and blocks with you, so its not like its impossible to explore, its just more difficult now. Plus, you only have to build ships for the high level end game dungeons. It is not a necessity for your average exploration trip
