🌄 A MORE REALISTIC & LIVING MINECRAFT OVERWORLD

Redesigned foliage, trees, vegetation, rocks and natural surface detail combined with VRRW’s own visual and shader systems.

Denser forests. More natural vegetation. Stronger atmosphere. VRRW Overworld is for players who want a richer, more detailed Overworld that still feels like Minecraft – rendered by VRRW’s own shader system instead of a third-party shader pack.

• 🌳 Realistic trees built from trunk and branch parts – and the wood stays harvestable
• 🌿 Dense grass, flowers, bushes and rocks across the Overworld
• 🌤️ VRRW atmosphere: custom clouds, procedural sun, light rays, waterfalls and volumetric fire
• 🥽 VR optional – no headset needed

⚠️ REQUIRED: VRRW Animation – OBJ Anim (free). VRRW Overworld uses the OBJ Anim model, tool and Smooth Terrain / SurfaceNet pipeline. Install both mods and always update them together.

💾 HARDWARE AT A GLANCE

VRRW Overworld + OBJ Anim with SurfaceNet terrain – creator values:

| Your setup | GPU memory (VRAM) |
| — | — |
| 🌄 SurfaceNet terrain with vanilla textures | about 1 GB – but more GPU work than flat vanilla blocks |
| 🐾 + the optional animated Entity Pack (300–400 MB) | about 2–3 GB, depending on texture resolution |
| 🏆 Full look: SurfaceNet + animated entities + Gold-level texture pack | about 3 GB |
| 🏙️ + Nations & Villagers – AI Reborn | only about +200 MB more |

• 🧠 RAM: give Minecraft at least 6 GB – 10–12 GB is better for Gold-level texture packs.
• 🎮 GPU: GTX 1060 class as a minimum, RTX 2050 class or newer as a better target. Smooth SurfaceNet terrain keeps VRAM low, but the GPU works harder than with flat vanilla blocks.
• 🎨 Texture levels: Copper, Silver and Gold – a lower level needs less VRAM.
• Guidance values, not guarantees. The Entity Pack and texture packs are optional – everything is fully playable without them.

🔥 WHAT VRRW OVERWORLD CHANGES

• 🌳 Trees – redesigned oak, birch, dark oak, spruce, acacia and palm trees built from trunk and branch parts. Wood stays harvestable. Distant trees switch to impostors, so forests stay visible at high render distances.
• 🍃 Wind & seasons – leaves sway in the wind with adjustable strength and speed; seasonal leaf colors can be switched on.
• 🌱 Grass – dense instanced grass with adjustable density and blades per block, colored by biome.
• 🌸 Flowers & plants – new flowers, bushes, ferns, nettles and cacti. Many of them craft into dyes.
• 🪨 Ground detail – rocks, boulders, dry branches, stumps and shells.
• 🍄 Mushroom fields & dripstone – redesigned mushroom-field visuals and new dripstone formations.
• 💧 Water – VRRW waterfalls with foam, plus water waves.
• 🌤️ Sky & atmosphere – custom, weather-aware clouds, a procedural sun and light shafts.
• 🔥 Fire & smoke – volumetric fire, smoke and explosions.
• 🌓 Light & shadow – tree silhouette and mountain shadows, temporal anti-aliasing (TAA), PBR and parallax.
• ✨ Custom shader effects – PBR effects on any block, pattern and depth effects on blocks, JSON and OBJ models – or simply use the presets.
• 🌵 Nature that bites – cacti and nettles hurt players and mobs on contact.
• 🧱 Lots to build with – 10 VRRW creative tabs: Automation, Buildings, Items, Ocean, Props, Village, Furniture, Groundparts, Plants and Trees.
• 👹 A boss – the Giant Club Boss, with its own spawn egg.

🎨 Rounded, organic plant and model shapes – while keeping a Minecraft-inspired texture style.

⚡ PERFORMANCE EXAMPLE

Creator’s test system: RTX 5070 · Ryzen 9 7900X

| Render distance | Observed FPS |
| — | — |
| 32 | ~60–100 |
| 16 | ~200–300 |
| 6–8 | ~400–500 |

⚠️ Example results from one test system, not guaranteed FPS. Your results depend on GPU, CPU, screen resolution, render distance, presets, texture resolution, other mods, drivers and Java memory.

Need more FPS? Press F7 → Graphics → Presets → LOW – Maximum FPS, lower the render distance or use a lower texture-pack resolution.

⚙️ REQUIREMENTS & INSTALLATION

| | |
| — | — |
| Minecraft | Java Edition 1.21.1 |
| Loader | NeoForge 21.1.190 or newer |
| Required mod | VRRW Animation – OBJ Anim – install and update both together |
| Side | Client and server – multiplayer servers need both mods too |
| Download size | about 103 MB |
| VR | Optional – no headset needed |

1. Install NeoForge 21.1.190 or newer for Minecraft 1.21.1.
2. Put the VRRW Overworld and OBJ Anim .jar files into your mods folder (client – and server for multiplayer).
3. Give Minecraft at least 6 GB RAM in your launcher’s Java / memory settings.
4. Start the game, press F7 → Graphics → Presets and pick LOW, MEDIUM or HIGH.
5. Create a new world or explore new chunks to see the new vegetation.

🔌 COMPATIBILITY

• Sodium / Embeddium: not required – VRRW has its own shader system. If either is installed, it takes over terrain rendering and VRRW’s own terrain shaders stay off. For the full VRRW look, play without them.
• Iris shader packs: while a shader pack is active, VRRW switches off its own terrain shaders, waterfall pass, clouds, sky, TAA and horizon shadows so the two systems don’t clash. For the intended look, turn the shader pack off.
• AI Reborn: optional. In single-player, seasonal leaves follow AI Reborn’s seasons when it is installed; otherwise they use a built-in 365-day cycle.
• ⌨️ Shared default keys: the VRRW mods share some default keys – for example O, P, M, F6 and V (AI Reborn / OBJ Anim) and F7, F8 (AI Reborn / VRRW Overworld). Rebind them under Options → Controls. OBJ Anim’s climb grip always reacts to V, so move AI Reborn’s push-to-talk to another key. VRRW Options also open from the pause menu.
• Back up important worlds before updating.
