About this project

What does Raft World add?

🌊 Raft World

Raft World is a NeoForge mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 that transforms the game into an ocean survival experience inspired by Raft.

After using /startraft, players are transported to a vast ocean world where floating debris becomes the primary source of resources, creating a unique survival loop centered around collection, expansion, and adaptation.

✨ Features

🌊 Endless Ocean Dimension

  • Adds a custom dimension (raftworld:raft) made entirely of ocean.
  • Players begin on a small wooden raft with minimal resources.
  • No natural terrain or traditional resource generation.

📦 Floating Loot System

  • Resources drift across the ocean surface, carried by simulated currents.
  • Debris continuously appears around active players to keep exploration and collection engaging.

🌬️ Ocean Currents

  • Floating items drift from east to west across the ocean surface.
  • When players enter water, they are also affected by the same ocean current, subtly pushing them westward.
  • Encourages players to position, build, and collect resources efficiently.
  • Creates a gameplay loop inspired by drifting ocean debris.

🚀 Getting Started

To begin a new Raft World adventure, use:

/startraft

This command creates your starting raft, sets your respawn point, and teleports you to the custom ocean dimension.

A starter barrel will spawn on your raft containing a fishing rod, giving you an immediate way to collect floating resources and begin your survival journey.


🧠 Gameplay

The survival loop is simple but rewarding:

  1. 🪝 Collect drifting resources.
  2. 🧱 Expand your raft.
  3. ⚒️ Craft tools and structures.
  4. 🌊 Survive and continue growing.

🎮 Multiplayer

  • Works in both singleplayer and multiplayer.
  • Loot generation is handled server-side for consistent gameplay.
  • Resource spawning scales with active players.

🛠️ Technical Details

  • Custom ocean dimension.
  • Tick-based server-side spawning.
  • Water-only validation for floating debris.
  • Simulated current movement.
  • Multiplayer-compatible.

🛑 Compatibility

  • Compatible with:
    • Singleplayer
    • Multiplayer / dedicated servers
