OthersideCraft

Welcome to OthersideCraft ❗

Made with <3 by tealore24.
Inspired by BelovodieCraft by Domovishche6986.

Core & World Generation 🌹

• Beta‑style terrain: Amplified height variation with zero generated structures (no villages, strongholds, witch huts, jungle temples, nether fortresses, etc.). Monster rooms with spawners and chests will still generate.
• Loading indicator: Added a progress bar during world creation.
• Hunger mechanic removed: Food restores health directly, true to the classic Beta experience (note: rotten flesh now puts Poison effect on the player for 5 seconds).
• No coordinates: You start with a simple compass (which always points North) and an Antique Atlas that dynamically draws a map as you explore the world.
  
• Unrestricted progression: No recipe book and no achievement system.
• Beauty in simplicity: No End dimension, Ender Dragon, End Cities and Elytra.

Travel & Traversal 🪁

• Backpacks: Your inventory starts with only 9 visible slots; backpacks unlock the other 27 slots.
  
• Paraglider: Glide safely from high altitudes.
  
• Grappling hook: Rapid vertical climbing and traversal.
  
• Vehicle coupling: Link boats and minecarts together using springs.
  
  
• Immersive horse controls: Riding is significantly more responsive and realistic.
• Backported mechanics: Fast swimming mechanics and a reduced sneak hitbox (1.5 blocks).
• Portable rest: Sleeping bags and hammocks allow you to sleep through the night without resetting your spawn point.
  
  

Combat, Physics & Explosives 🏹

• Throwable TNT: Right-click while holding the flint and steel in the other hand to throw TNT. Both TNT and creepers can now deal underwater explosion damage.
• Improved melee: Sword swings can hit entities through tall grass without breaking it.
• Realistic explosion physics: Destroyed blocks fly in all directions with realistic physics.
• Crossbows (backported): An alternative to the classic bow from 1.14.
• New arrow types: Explosive and torch arrows.
  
  
• Unobtrusive shields: Shields are lowered on the screen to improve visibility.
• Item drop physics: Dropped items fall with realistic weight and momentum.
• Nether changes: Blazes spawn naturally throughout the Nether, allowing you to obtain blaze rods for brewing even without fortresses.
• Enhanced fire: Utilizes Better Burning mod mechanics.
• Sword blocking: Return of the additional sword feature from 1.8 PvP.

Inventory & Storage 💼

• Crafting tables: Items remain inside the grid when the UI is closed, and the current recipe is visually displayed on top of the block.
• XP storage: Furnaces accumulate and store XP (backported mechanic).
• Carryable storage: Pick up chests, hoppers, dispensers, and droppers (shift + right‑click) without breaking them and dropping their contents.
• Compact chests: Chests can be placed directly adjacent to each other without needing a one‑block gap.
• Trash slot: Added a dedicated trash slot to the inventory UI.
• Mouse tweaks: Fast and intuitive item management (drag, shift‑click).
• Boat storage: Chests can be placed in boats.

Interaction & QoL 🐀

• Sitting: Right‑click to sit on stairs and slabs.
• Easy harvest: Right‑click to harvest crops. Right‑click a snow layer with a shovel to instantly remove it.
• Dirt to grass: Use seeds on a dirt block to grow grass.
• Free repairs: Anvils no longer require XP to use.
• In‑game gallery: Browse your screenshots directly using the built‑in viewer.
• Pet interactions: Right‑click tamed dogs to pat them.
• Instant building: Removed block placement delay.
• Improved sign editing: Right‑click to edit text on a sign after it has been placed.
• Fast ladders: Look down while on a ladder to slide down quickly.
• Double doors: Adjacent doors open simultaneously when interacting with one.

Other Tweaks from the Quark Mod 🪓

• Pistons can push/pull items and move block entities (tile entities).
• Added new vanilla‑style stairs, slabs, and walls in various materials.
• Enhanced, more realistic fire visual effects.
• Map tooltips and map markers added (place an ink sac and the map in the crafting grid).
• No potion shift (the inventory GUI no longer shifts sideways when under status effects).
• Improved shift‑click crafting behavior.
• Items will visually flash shortly before despawning.
• Armor stands generate with arms by default.
• Axes instantly break leaf blocks.
• Baby zombies now burn in sunlight.
• Chickens periodically shed feathers.
• Right‑click dirt with a shovel to create a dirt path.
• Wool can be dyed and re‑dyed into any color.
• Endermen anti‑cheese: They will actively break blocks if you try to hide under a 2‑block‑high ceiling.
• Hoes harvest a 5×5 area of crops.
• Slabs can be crafted back into full blocks.
• Stair recipes yield 8 stairs instead of 4.
• Slime blocks bounce entities off walls, not just floors.
• Squids defend themselves by blinding you with ink.
• Wet sponges can be instantly dried by placing them in the Nether.
• Note blocks play mob sounds when a corresponding mob head is placed on top.

Crafting & Resource Overhauls 🪓

• Wooden tools: Wooden tools are removed — you cannot mine stone with them.
• Stone tools overhaul: Now require flint instead of cobblestone (tip: flint drop rates from gravel have been increased to 40%).
• A new use for rotten flesh: frying in a furnace produces bone meal.
• Uncraftable items: Beacons (no fortresses = no wither skeletons = no nether stars) and Eyes of Ender (to prevent crafting End Crystals).
• Added custom recipes for: Saddles, horse armor, chainmail armor (can be crafted from iron bars), enchanted golden apples, sponges, slimeballs, strings, and mossy cobblestone & stone bricks (can be crafted from grass, not just vines).
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Netherrack drops: Mining netherrack has a 10% chance to drop nether wart.
• Backported items & mechanics:
  • Copper ore, copper tools, and a full copper armor set.
  • Scaffolding (can be made from regular sticks instead of bamboo (there are no bamboo plants in 1.12.2)).
  • Campfires cannot be crafted in a grid. Assemble them on the ground — shift + right‑click to place sticks, then use flint to ignite (tip: you can color the smoke with a dye).

Visuals & Environment ✨

• 3D skins: Voxel second‑layer skins display as 3D overlays instead of flat textures.
• Dynamic capes: Capes animate and flow in the wind.
• Cool trees: Overhauled trees with variable trunk shapes, dynamic branches, and falling branch physics (new items from Dramatic Trees are included).
