Familiar Additions - a Minecraft Mod
@familiaradditions.bsky.social
Familiar Additions, a Minecraft Mod, introduces new yet familiar content: scrapped features, elements from other Minecraft games, and completely new ideas. FA is built off of Mojang's design principles to enhance gameplay, and add new experiences.
What's this? a mob? a FAMILIAR mob? Here is the Sculk Snapper, a revision of the scrapped Sculk Jaw block of the Wild Update. Instead of a block, the Sculk Snapper is an entity that hides in deep pits underneath Deepslate Rubble, and occasionally replaces Sculk blocks. #mcdev #minecraft

SOUNDS!! One of my favorite aspects of game development is sound design. I cannot describe the joy I get when I hear my own sounds in game and they DON'T sound terrible. Also, finally the functionality of the 1st block of FA, the redstone dust block, has been implemented LESSGOOOOO #mcdev #minecraft

Merry Christmas/happy holidays y'alls! here is a VERY early clip of Redstone Labs gameplay. Keep in mind this is missing a majority of content, especially redstone stuff. Generation is a nightmare, worldgen cuts off 5 lab segments, and I have to work around that. #mcdev #minecraft #happyholidays

I am flabbergasted, so much pain (mental) went into just getting this thing to generate with jigsaw blocks. countless hours and lost sleep was worth it LESSGOOOOOOOO! this is my first ever jigsaw structure that actually works. The biggest challenge of the labs' development has been overcome. #mcdev

Y'all's, no matter what I do, my structure cannot and will not generate properly. it only spawns the starting jigsaw and gives up there. it places the current segments when I use a jigsaw block and also flips the segments so they don't line up. does anyone know how to deal with this? #mcdev

something, a regretful discovery, is waiting to be made... #mcdev #minecraft

It appears I have finally figured out how to use jigsaw blocks. FINALLY!!! Procedurally generated Redstone Labs are extremely close to becoming a thing. Split into 25 segments, each segment will have different rooms, decor, loot, entrances, cores (large central rooms,) and more. #mcdev #minecraft

I keep watching mod showcase videos and getting greatly disappointed because so many ideas I thought I came up with, have already been done. I guess at this point it will depend on how the ideas are executed instead of originality but I like to think I have something different. #mcdev #minecraft

a handful of new barrels along with steel drums! I still have a lot of textures for the remaining wood types but so far these are done and even have slightly different sounds than the original to better reflect their wood types. also for some reason the lavender wants to say hi. #mcdev #minecraft

a small yet significant additional. air duct crawling animation! right now air ducts are meant as a an additional way to traverse the Redstone labs, it doesn't have a real function yet. it could be a placeholder for something more vanilla friendly. any ideas? #mcdev #minecraft

The most unfamiliar addition in FA, the Siren. A Redstone block that does nothing initially, but when it's powered and an entity that aids movement is detected nearby, it will blare, trigging nearby sculk shriekers and sensors. This acts as an anti-cheat block in the Redstone Labs. #mcdev #minecraft

I would chug bad omen 5 ngl, but maybe the half-filled jar of coffee is more my style.

An attempy was made. Fan blocks actually work and way better than I showed previously. This parkour with fans is difficult and fun, which is weird because I made it. #mcdev #minecraft

Every Redstone related block in Familiar Additions, some might be familiar to you while others... definitely not, and they stray a bit far from vanilla, which is probably strange for someone trying to make a very vanilla friendly mod. #mcdev #redstone #minecraft

At last, the Ancient Chest has received a proper opening and closing animation. Ancient chests are uncraftable chest variants that replace wooden chests in certain structures. Upon opening, the ancient chest will close automatically after 3 seconds, kicking the player out of its gui. #mcdev

The second block I have added to FA, Deepslate Rubble, now works 100% as intended, with the addition of an animation before it collapses. Deepslate Rubble is akin to gravel except for the fact that it does not fall unless an entity stands on it for too long. #mcdev

Quite literally a Netherite upgrade. Ancient Debris now drops Raw Netherite that can be fortuned and smelted into Netherite Scrap. Out of 64 Debris mined, Fortune 1 gives 73, Fortune 2 gives 83, Fortune 3 gives 100. #mcdev
