📚 Summary

Rediscovered re-imagines scrapped features and concepts from early Minecraft, mostly focused on those prior to release 1.0.0. There are exceptions to this rule, but not many in order to keep things somewhat controlled. The game has changed a LOT over the years, and as such features included have been re-imagined to fit in with the modern game, and likely do not represent what they were, or may have been back when they were originally considered.

☁️ Skylands Dimension

A world high above the clouds lost to time. Due to it being forgotten for so long, life has evolved in much different ways than the Overworld you know. Giant Zombies roam freely, pigs have evolved and created a functioning society of their own, and flowers once thought to be extinct still bloom.

Skylands1

Skylands2

The terrain is much the same as it always has been, being identical to how it was in beta. A lost breed of cherry tree grows frequently here, often being very large with how long they've had to flourish. The Skylands is home to several biomes of different climates, from cold and snowy woods, to damp rainforests. If you explore long enough, you may even discover the Far Lands, a place once thought to be a myth.

🔎 Rediscovering the Skylands

Long ago the Skylands did have a method of entry, the only remnant of that can be found within the Trail Ruins. One can be easily located by crafting a Ruby Eye.

RubyEyeCrafting

The eye will direct you towards a building on the outer edge of the trail, which contains a mysterious brick portal in disrepair. If reconstructed, it can be activated using the Ruby Eye you used to discover it.

PortalRoom

💎 Rubies

Found within the ground of the Skylands, as well as Jungle and Savanna biomes, these red gems are the primary currency of the Pigmen. Within the Overworld they spawn in smaller clusters favoring higher altitudes, while they can be found in larger quantities in the Skylands. It's said some used to confuse them for Emeralds.

WildRubies

🐷 Meet the Pigmen

Usually found in the villages of the Skylands, most Pigmen can be traded with similar to the Villagers of the Overworld. They are very intelligent, and are interested in science and technology. Due to their location, certain materials are much more valuable to them, such as Quartz or Flint. As such, they tend to offer more in exchange for them. They come in 5 different professions. Each profession offers items either unique to them, or obtained much easier through them. This includes armor, unique wool colors, and even a potion discovered through their research.

Pigmen1


Pigmen2

🛡️ Guard Pigmen

Some Pigmen aren't interested in commerce, and instead are skilled in the art of melee, or ranged combat. If rescued from being zombified, they will offer their services for players, and will guard you in exchange for Rubies. Also in that case, you'll be able to equip them with weapons and armor.

Guard Pigmen

🧟 Zombie Pigmen

Perhaps the most interesting of the Pigmen is the Zombie Pigman. Found occasionally in the Nether living alongside Zombified Piglins. They can be cured similarly to Zombie Villagers, though this time using Golden Carrots instead of apples. If given a melee or ranged weapon, they can be influenced to be a guard of that type when they cure, otherwise they will be a merchant as normal. How the Pigmen ended up here to begin with remains a mystery.

Zombie Pigmen

🧱 Brick Pyramid & Red Dragon

A large and mysterious brick structure, usually secluded on its own floating island. Atop the pyramid sits a pylon shielded from the power within the structure. With said power, it protects and calms the Red Dragon that flies around the structure. It's up to you to locate and shut down the power within. Once that's done, the pylon is left vulnerable to destroy, angering the dragon in the process.

BrickPyramid

RedDragon

Hatching the Red Dragon Egg

If you are skilled enough to defeat the Red Dragon, an egg will be left behind. This egg can be fertilized using Dragon Breath, which will start the several day long hatching process. During this time the egg can still be moved if needed. Once hatched and fully grown, the dragon can be saddled up and ridden by up to 2 players. If you can get your hands on some, you can equip it with a customizable Dragon Armor. It can even be used to traverse back and fourth from the Overworld to the Skylands! Be careful though, as flying for too long can exhaust the dragon, which can be very dangerous if in a bad spot.

RidingRedDragonFlying

RidingRedDragonGrounded

Ruby Flute

If your dragon ever gets lost, you can craft a Ruby Flute to call it to your location if is close enough to hear the song.

RubyFlute

Nether Reactor

If you're lucky enough to get your hands on a Nether Star, you can craft a Nether Reactor Core and construct a Nether Reactor. Using this, you can apply an effect to a large radius that causes certain mobs to react as if they're in the Nether. This means Piglins and Hoglins can roam safely, and Pigmen will zombify if not splashed with a Golden Aura potion. This aura comes with the added ability to increase the damage output of anything within it. If constructed with Netherite Blocks instead of Gold, the effects of the reactor will be made stronger. See what you can do with this ancient technology!
