Event Horizon Official Topic
Thu, 12/31/2020 - 13:37 (edited)

This is Event Horizon's discussion topic. Here you can talk about the mod, suggest a feature or see previews of the next updates.

Old stuff written before the release:


Yep, you read it well. More than a year after the announcement, I am finally releasing (a very alpha version) of my sci-fi mod, Event Horizon.

I initially thought the project was too ambitious, but after creating all the basic mechanics of the mod in just a few days, it looks like I should've done it earlier. It took 4 months to release a very incomplete and unstable port of RaolCraft for 1.14.4, while progress on Event Horizon is going pretty fast.

 

So... What is Event Horizon actually about?

It is a science-fiction mod where you can leave the Overworld behind to explore new planets, galaxies and even different timelines and a parallel universe! While it will include many sci-fi tropes, like cloning, time travel, antimatter, advanced AIs and such, its main theme will be space.

I think space is a very undervalued theme in the modding community. While there are many space mods, few of these can stand out to the many magic/adventure/tech/vanilla-like ones, and they often are very grindy and may feel unrewarding.

Event Horizon instead, will take a different approach. Like Trailblazer (the mod which actually inspired this one and that I'm still waiting for), you will be able to go to space very early (as soon as you manage to get a diamond pickaxe, so basically nether-tier). Unlike some of my other mods (cough cough RaolCraft), there will no grind at all, you will just have to adventure through the planets you procedurally discover. And each of them will tell its own story: like an rpg mod, but set on space.

Such a project would seem too chaotic and ambitious, but many things will be simplified in order to be more minecrafty. It won't be realistic at all, but it will also try to not contrast real science too much.

The mod will be released before the end of the year, likely on December 31. It will be divided in chapters, and the first release will include everything from Chapter 0 (basic mechanics, getting into orbit, going to the Moon).

 

I could have posted this as a comment in the Hodge-Podge Age ect. topic, but that page is more than a year old, and since next week I'm finally going to release the mod, I created its topic in advance so I can get some early feedback :)

 

So... I think I wrote enough for today, thanks for reading, Merry Christmas (even if it's late) and stay safe! :)

moon alien

Which name would you give to this Moon alien/villager (it isn't native to the Moon, just a colonizer)?

The ship looks incredible! Nice color decision, and also makes me wonder what is happening in there. Absolutly amazing!

About the alien, what about "Bluling"?

Hey, just curious: how do you make villages? I've seen it asked before but the explanations often are... either extremely complicated or not very thorough.

Also, great idea. It looks epic already. :)
