About this project
What does Just Dire Things [backport] add?
heya, this is a backport of Just dire things, one of my favorite mods, alot of people wanted it
to be on forge 1.20.1, so i decided to take things into my own hands (because i also really wanted it lol)
and make a backport myself, im not the best at coding but i fixed all the bugs i could find. Also this isnt
fully up to date with the mods features so things like the time wand dont exist yet... sorry :p (use tiab ig)
Anyway i probably wont be updating this so yall have a good day.
Description from the original mod
Just Dire Things started as a collection of random items and blocks I wanted added to the game. Then things kind of got away from me…..
This mod adds:
4 Tiers of Resources, requiring exploration of the different Minecraft Dimensions to unlock.
4 Tiers of Tools, each with unique abilities, some never before seen!
4 Tiers of Armor, each with their own set of Unique Abilities!
Many blocks designed around automation. Including:
Block Breakers/Placers
Sensors
Teleporters
Energy Generator and distribution blocks.
A lot more is planned for the future, this is simply the first draft!
