About this project
What does Mirage add?

Desert features expanded to incentivise exploration and utilisation
Mirage expands underutilised features within hotter biomes such as armadillos to make these underappreciated biomes stand out!
✨ Features
Become friends with the armadillos: Make a chestplate out of their scutes that you can wear to prevent scaring them!
Faded Terracotta: Terracotta with the patterns of glazed terracotta, great for building ruins!
Ruined Structures: Scattered all across the hot biomes, grab your brush and do some archaelogy, they contain all new sherds alongside resources to help you out in the early game.
Bundle Alternatives: Craft a basket from their scutes so you can organise your inventory without having to kill any animals (Make sure to turn on the bundle experimental feature)
Fully Configurable: Enable or disable any feature within the mod through the config, including enabling the ability to craft any sherd or making faded terracotta rarer by making it uncraftable!
More coming soon: This mod is in very early stages and more vanilla feeling features are on their way!
