Welcome to Hodge-Podge III!
This mod has no theme, however its goal is to improve Minecraft gameplay by adding tons of different adventures, mobs and side-quests as well as providing a lot of new decorative blocks to have more options when building.
Unlike RaolCraft, which is an extremely lategame mod (while there are a lot of things in earlygame, you can't go to any of its dimensions before beating the Enderdragon), this mod will actually focus more on midgame, so you can explore the new features since the first days of your wold :)
This is the remake of Eonaut's original mod.
Some images (more can be found on Curseforge):
These dimensions can all be accessed very early (right after the Nether) and the items you can get from exploring them include:
-
Arcane Bricks, some very special blocks that can be placed unlimited times and be broken almost instantly (without dropping anything - like creative mode!)
-
Aurora Helmet, an armor piece which turns you into a walking light source (haven't tested it with armorstands yet but it probably works)!
-
Potions of Lava Traversing which let you walk on lava like a Frost Walker enchantment!
-
Silver Apples which grant no food points but regenerate all your health (but have a cooldown)!
-
And much more!
This mod also adds many new features to the Overworld, including:
-
a new ore (Silver)
-
a few new structures (like the Golden Temple, the Snow Temple and the Mystical Fountain, a place where you can recover all your health, similarly to a checkpoint)
-
some new mobs (like Kobolds that light up caves and Werewolves who turn into powerful monsters during the night)
-
and more!

Some of the blocks in this mod have connected textures (not in 1.14.4 though, since CTM skipped that version)! To use them, you have to download this mod: (https://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/ctm). If you don't download this mod, Hodge-Podge III will still work, but you won't be able to see the connected textures.
This mod also has some special compatibility with RaolCraft Omega! If you also play it, the Collector will reveal a treasure hidden somwhere in RaolCraft (which can't be found until the Collector tells you where is it).
This mod also supports Ore Dictionary, meaning that you can make an addon for this mod or a crossover feature! There are too many ore dictionary entries to be written here, so you'll have to see them ingame using a mod like this.

+Lava in a Bottle
No, you can't fill the obsidian bottles in the world, you have to craft them with a bucket of lava. :( (Don't worry, you will get the bucket back)
+Potion of Lava Traversing
It's like frostwalker but it's a potion, is for lava and... well, sometimes it's a bit buggy so be careful.

+Fully implemented the Werewolf
It's a friendly villager during the day and a deadly wolf during the night. The villager drops no experience.

+Collector
A Dark Elf who prefers to collect ancient rarities rather than to fight. Give him precious (and useless) treasures and he will give you some rewards.
You can't give him the same item more than once. The reward is not based on the item you give him but on how many items you gave him before. This information is stored per player and not per Collector, this means that if you have a duplicate treasure you can't give it to a Collector (but another player in the same world can, if he hasn't already).
He will also sometimes give you hints on where to find a rarity.

This update introduces the third dimension of the mod (the Taint), some new structures, a new powerful armor, many new mobs, a few features directly from Hodge-Podge II and more.
This is also the last 1.12.2 update, so make sure to report any bugs so I can release a patch before porting to 1.14/1.15.
+Ghoul Dungeon
A structure found directly underneath the Cursed Tree. A portal of Ravenbricks can be found here. (The structure won't retro-generate in old chunks, you'll have to explore new ones and find another Cursed Tree if you're in a old world)
+Ghoul
Found in the Ghoul Dungeon, is very slow until it finds a target, then accelerates
+Eerie Bricks
+Ravenbricks
Lit their portal with a Tainted Scepter to go to the Taint
+Taint Dimension
Used to be a beautiful realm, is now corrupted by a noxious toxin. Consists of 3 main biomes: the Tainted Wasteland, the Skeletric Woods and the Dusk Desert
+Tainted Skeleton
A mob found in the Taint, probably used to be one of the explorers who came to the dimension

Lets you produce light from the head like a Kobold
+Kobold of the DarkWorld
A Kobold found in the DarkWorld, you might notice it by the light it emits from the candle

Finally!! I forgot to add them in the last update XD
Unfortunately, due to a bug the slabs can't be crafted in survival (I don't know why, the stairs work fine), but at least this update fixed an important bug :/
! Taint biomes generated in the Overworld

Beta

A Wonderland Elf who tasks you with quests to complete for getting a reward. Quests you can complete right now are defeating a Jabberwock and curing a Werewolf.
+Jabberwock Egg
Can be found in nests in the Tulgey Forest. Break it to summon... nothing. What would you expect from breaking an egg?
+Jabberwock
My jaws that bite, my claws that catch! (I know it's a reference of a reference but if you got it you have my respect.)
Breaking the eggs might enrage the mother. Just wait a bit until it finds you!
It is immune from damage until you hit it with a Vorpal Sword! Then you will be able to damage it with any kind of attack for a few seconds (you can obviously attack it with a Vorpal Sword again to be able to damage it more)
Unlike other bosses, it can't summon any allies (actually, this is more like a mini-boss, even if it has more hp than the Smoldering and the Tainted Knights)
+Sunrise Dagger
If you are holding a Moonfall Dagger in the off hand it strikes a lightning and slows down enemies. Obtained by the Questgiver as a reward for defeating the Jabberwock.

I mean, while playing modded you usually don't have time for exploring every single biome in the world (especially with biome mods)

~Werewolves are now faster during full moon nights
~Werewolves can now be cured during full nights moon by feeding them a Silver Apple while they are affected by Weakness effect

~Tyrianite Armor will now apply Hunger rather than Poison
~Renamed the Trader Dark Elf into DarkWorld Jeweler
~Improved rendering of some blocks and items
~Temporarily changed the Golden Pillar to be a vanilla pillar-like block with log rotation, since there is no connected textures mod for 1.14.4 (this change will be reverted when the mod will be updated to 1.15.2)
~Geysers do now temporarily produce steam blocks rather than fluids since gas fluids don't work properly in 1.14.4
~Many more tweaks

! Smoky Quartz did not generate in the DarkWorld making the Wonderland inaccesible
! Weapons dealt too little damage
! The Healing Statue had weird rotation

2.0.1 - Ammit Update - 09/30/2020

New neutral mob found in the Murkwoods (only in the Wastes though, not in the Murkwood Oasis in the DarkWorld). Attacked by Green Hunters, drops leather and its flesh.
+Phantom Ammit
The Ammit cursed counterpart which spawns while the Tainted Knight is alive. Unlike the normal counterpart, is not attacked by anyone. Similarly to Grim Haunters, it has 1 HP and is immune to almost anything, but its weakness are arrows, and not direct attacks. This means you'll need both a sword and a bow to fight the Tainted Knight!
+Ammit Flesh
Dropped by regular Ammits and found in Murkwoods loot chests. Restores moderate hunger and saturation, but requires double the time of normal food to be eaten.
~Improved Oun, Elgeth and Grahl AI (they were way too dumb)
~Cursed Diamonds will now disappear in 600 ticks rather than 300
~Improved Tainted Knight battle (changed which minions he summons and how)

! The Jabberwock's Egg dropped itself
2.0.2 - Buzzy Bees Update - 10/01/2020
~Updated the mod to 1.15.2
+Potion of Spectral Sight
Created in a Dark Brewing Stand using Occult Pearl, makes you able to go through walls for a few seconds, then returns you to the place where you drank the potion. Useful for checking for nearby structures (especially underground).
~Increased the hitbox of Ammits and Phantom Ammits
~Now the Golden Pillar uses the old connected textures, since ctm is available for 1.15.2
~Now Hodge-Podge potions give Obsidian Bottles after drunk rather than regular ones. Also, they are no longer consumed in creative
~A few other tweaks
! Walking Geysers erupted the pre-1.14 geyser fluid which is buggy
