With the server moved to 1.20, time for a bit of a revamp!

Back in August of 2022, I built a barn across the river from where the Verdigris Station now stands. A large barn, it hid most of the remaining land on that side of the river from view.

With the addition of camels in the new update, I decided it was time to fix that land issue!

Step 1: Planning

Using Photopea, I made a quick mockup of the project, using it to check with the rest of the Corroded faction to make sure nobody had any plans for the area. Once I had the go-ahead, it was time to get to work!

Step 2: Moving the barn

With the help of my friend @47-protons, the residents of the barn were moved in around an hour, either to temporary pens or a new forever home at someone's base. Taking down the barn took around 40 minutes, using a full beacon to help where it could.

Using Litematica, I'd made a schematic of the barn before demolition that I then used to decide on the final location. I was able to rebuild the barn in about 80 minutes, with some snack breaks.

With the barn in place, I connected the path using a scattering of gravel, andesite, tuff, and packed mud, filling in the rest with some dirt and course dirt.

Step 3: Camels

With the space all cleared and a fence shape decided, it was time for a simple segmented pen, with some shade for the camels to stay cool in the hot sun!

I'd collected 2 camels from thousands of blocks away already and had them sitting in my base, so I simply bred a couple of calves and brought them to Verdigris for breeding. To my delight, they fit in minecarts.

After a couple hours of waiting, breeding, and saddling, the shop had around 20 camels available, each one saddled up and ready to go. I added a barrel and a sign with payment instructions, and announced to the server that the camel shop was up and running!

You know, it's been a while, and I think it's time for me to play Minecraft again (though I unfortunately don't have a very creative journal name).

-August 26th, Plantperson Journal, Entry 0-

This is journal entry 0, so I'm just giving an overview of what this journal is about, and not actually playing on the world yet.

To summarize (so you can get a vague idea before you click keep reading), I'll be starting a mostly-vanilla 1.20 world in order to test a data pack made for the Origins mod.

The most important mod (actually data pack) I'm using doesn't have an official name yet (though it'll probably be something simple like "Vailimia's Custom Origins"), but it adds a custom "Dendrian" (basically plantperson) origin to the Origins mod, which I will be using.

For those unfamiliar with the Origins mod, it lets you pick 1 of 9 (10 if you count Human) "origins" when you first join the world, which each provide different advantages and disadvantages which you'll have until you stop playing on the world, more information can be found on the Origins mod's CurseForge page.

As for the advantages and disadvantages provided by the custom origin I'll be using, I'll list those below.

Standing in direct sunlight acts as a food source, but standard food sources are no longer usable.

Water, water bottles, and rain also act as food sources.

To prevent staying in caves for too long, natural regeneration is disabled unless I'm on the surface.

Areas that are "too hot" or "too cold" will prevent sleeping, prevent sprinting, and give weakness and slowness until I leave the area.

All fire damage taken is doubled.

By the way, there's no complicated "warmth" system to determine how hot or cold an area is, it's just based on what weather the biome gets (biomes that get snow are too cold, biomes that don't get weather are too hot, biomes that get rain (and the end because it's a special exception) are a comfortable temperature).

My main goal of this world will basically just be to balance-test this origin by starting a standard survival world with it and seeing where I have trouble.

Anyway, the other mods probably don't need that much explaining since they're mostly just client-side helper/cosmetic mods (at lot of which are just mods I'd like to start using in general).

Here's the modlist.
