About this project

What does Sylvan Legacy add?

Hello, explorer! Welcome to the misty paths of Sylvan Legacy. This is my very first Minecraft mod, and as a beginner developer, I am incredibly excited to share it with you. Thank you so much for checking it out!

Step into a majestic, ancient fantasy forest filled with towering trees and a deep, magical atmosphere. This woodland is alive, inhabited by unique creatures: from friendly little mushroom-folks to mysterious forest gnomes and proud, honorable knights.

But not everything is as peaceful as it seems. The King who once ruled these majestic lands has mysteriously vanished... No one speaks of it openly, but the forest remembers. Will you be the one to wander deep into the fog and piece together what truly happened here?

To get the absolute best visual experience and immersive fog, I highly recommend using shaders! For NeoForge 1.21.8, please do not use OptiFine (it will crash the game). Instead I recomend installing Sodium with Iris Shaders

My Personal Favorite Shaders for this mod are Photon Shaders and BSL Shaders

Please note that Sylvan Legacy is currently in Beta. Since I am learning modding as I go, you might encounter some minor (and major) bugs.

This is just the beginning! I have big plans for future releases, including new structures, bioms, mobs, bosses, armour, and much more to come. So stay tuned for updates on my... oh I actually don't have any social media yet except for my youtube channel. Here's the link btw for my YouTube channel if you need it:

And you can watch mod trailer here: https://youtu.be/zM6JA_C9d1U

Anyways, have fun exploring, and remember to watch where you step

P.S. (if you struggle to find anything or just want to see all content at once- just make a Single-Biomed minecraft world with creative mode)
