Project Vibrant Journeys for Minecraft

Review Project Vibrant Journeys

Realistic atmosphere in Minecraft

What do you think is better: adding new content to Minecraft or changing the existing one if we want to make the gameplay more realistic and engaging? In fact, the vanilla version of the game already has plenty of different mechanics and options, but some of them simply need improvements. And there is no point in installing dozens of third-party mods to add tons of content, blocks, and biomes into the game world. It’s better to carefully look at what the shortcomings of the current version are and try to fix these issues. That’s exactly what this material is about today: with the help of a special add-on you will improve already existing mechanics and the surrounding world so that it looks more realistic and vivid.

The Project: Vibrant Journeys mod fixes many flaws in the vanilla version of the game by adding different options. The functionality of existing biomes, blocks, mobs, and the environment is expanded, and before you might not even have noticed some details, but the developer of this add-on considered many nuances. In this review we tried to list most of the innovations that await you after installing the mod. There are really a lot of them, although it is difficult to show all the details in screenshots. We conditionally divided all the changes into several categories so that it would be easier to get familiar with such material, and if you do install the add-on, you can go through the general list and check all the innovations.

There are a lot of changes, and some aspects of the game you might not have even suspected before. The developer of this add-on has done a huge job to make such a mod and diversify vanilla survival. Below are the lists divided into different categories depending on themes and game mechanics. Moreover, the list keeps growing, as new options appear and different aspects of the game are fixed in updates. New content, biomes, mobs also appear, but these are not global changes if compared with large-scale Minecraft expansions.

Gameplay changes:

· Wheat seeds will no longer drop from regular grass, as you are used to in the vanilla version of the game. Now you will need to find “wild” variants of such crops to obtain seeds from them;

· A large number of decorative plants have appeared, scattered throughout the world in different biomes. These options are also available to the player in creative mode if using JEI and similar mods;

· Many new types of trees have appeared, and they spawn in different biomes;

· With a certain probability, you can now find cobwebs under fallen leaves;

· All over the game world you will see small details such as fallen branches, different types of shells, stones, bushes, and this adds even more realism to the gameplay;

· In some water biomes (mostly lakes and rivers) you will find water lilies;

· In different biomes you will see fallen trees, which can be collected as resources;

· Squids will now spawn mostly in oceans, so you will have to look for these biomes to find the creature.

Innovations

· Several decorative blocks have appeared, available from different types of wood. An excellent material used both for decor and building structures;

· Chimneys in Minecraft will emit smoke only if the furnace attached to it is currently burning with fire;

· Candles are crafted from wax, and now this is an excellent source of lighting;

· New types of lanterns have appeared, which can be used as decor or for lighting;

· You can cook food on a campfire, and it burns constantly;

· Automatic switches appeared, with which you can quickly turn different light sources on or off without using redstone;

· New types of mobs appear in the game (skeleton knights, shadow, ice cubes, and many others), which belong to the category of hostile creatures. All of them have a unique appearance and their own specific characteristics;

· Several passive mobs are added (snails, flies, fireflies) to diversify the game world, which will spawn in various biomes but do not give any valuable loot;

· A neutral mob will appear. These are ghosts, which spawn mainly only at night when it is completely dark. It looks at you, but does not attack. If the player starts hitting the ghost, the creature will fight back, dealing damage to you.

Almost all of these innovations and changes are aimed at making it more pleasant to be in the Minecraft world, moving through different biomes and dungeons. They affect all available territories, and for players this is a big plus. The Project: Vibrant Journeys mod practically does not affect the gameplay, but it creates a pleasant atmosphere in any biome. The developer continues to make various adjustments, and in new versions of the add-on integrates different updates and innovations so that the game world looks even more realistic and colorful. All these details separately do not have much effect on players’ perception, but when there are so many changes in one add-on, the game world changes a lot, and you will notice it immediately as soon as you join the next server or create a new map.
