Other
- the "Bock" - a peaceful antilope-like creature that gives a bit more life to savannas, badlands and sparse jungles
- Crabs - inhabit the beaches, rivers, lakes and swamps where you can mistake their bigger crabby relatives for friendly spots of grass
- No garments of the secret mystic brotherhood of arcane knowledge
- Definitely no ancient buried alien mini-boss
- loyal police(men?) who can be called to patrol and fend off monsters in a sticky situation. Other NPC-like mobs are intended to be added for pre-built adventures. I am still looking for inspiration on how to employ them as a useful/fun feature for survival mode - I take any suggestions
Crafting Recipies
User Manual - Vehicles:
- Ride vehicles by right-clicking them and get off with sneak(like other mountable mobs). To ride as passenger in a vehicle with multiple seats, craft the backseat cushion and place it near the vehicle. After that sit on the cushion.
- All motor vehicles need coal and water to run. Access a vehicle's inventory and coal/water storage with sneak+right click. After that its fuel supply will be displayed while riding and above the vehicle when close to it. If you happen to find a lonely gas station on the way, make sure to refuel and pay the clerk a visit.
-
An airship's climb and descent rate are controlled by looking upwards or downwards while flying. They consume fuel to stay in the air - even without a crew - so make sure to not leave them hovering for too long.
- Vehicles provide a good amount of protection from shots and hits but they can be damaged and eventually get destroyed. You can repair them with iron ingots. Simply sneak+right click on it with Iron ingots in hand. If you can't safe your vehicle anymore try to get away from the spot because it will go with a hefty bang.
- normal roadgoing vehicles like the motor coach are faster on paved ground (stone, wood, dirt paths etc.) and slower on natural terrain like snow, grass, sand or gravel. The track crawler is slower overall but isn't affected by different terrain and can climb inclines of one block while the others need slabs to scale hills and uneven terrain.
- The track crawler can be equipped with a cargo sleigh that can carry a huge load of items and one passenger. It can be linked and disconnected from the crawler to be stored elsewhere.
- alternatively to crafting them seperately, you can upgrade a basic motor coach to a passenger/freight motor coach if you sneak+right click on it with either a minecart or a chest in hand.
- Some vehicles have additional cosmetic team/color variants. To get the cosmetic/team variants right click or sneak+right click on the vehicles with either a dye item (blue, green, red, black, cyan, purple) or a gold block for one special vehicle
User Manual - Weapons&Tools:
- Weapons have descriptions to show which type of ammunition they use. Pistols and automatic weapons use magazines while rifles and shotguns need individual cartridges. The tnt-launcher uses blocks of tnt as magazines (not tnt-bundles! They are just for throwing).
- The marksman rifle requires you to zoom in before firing. Press R to aim.
- The diving suit lets you breathe and work underwater. Of course the whole set must be equipped for it to function. It also provides a decent amount of armor but at the cost of visibility and movement.
- The hose gun equipment can be used to put out fires. Equip the hose gun and the hydrant backpack and get back into the water when your tank runs empty.
Notes from the Explorer's diaries
I am still quite new to forge and MCreator, so don't expect a gush of content updates very often.

it can fly normally in the nether
load it with fire charges to turn it into a spooky, hellish war machine

1.7.5b (requires GeckoLib) - not available anymore. look on CurseForge
internally server-tested, stable build with slight improvements and bugfixes over 1.7.5a - most complete and functional build yet

fixed issue: steam boats 'jumped' up and down in the water while riding (now like vanilla boats)

tweaked: reduced airship's fuel consumption from using the booster item and increased boost duration

- the sleigh now doesn't get stuck and suffacte on downhill rides dehind a tow vehicle as much as before

. -.. .| / ., . :: , -to be little bit more of a challenge during a group adventure
open / possible issues
some incoherent item namings (uppercase/lowercase)- couple/uncouple for the cargo sleigh is defined globally, so multiple players might unintentionally detatch the sleighs again when pushing the button(?)
due to makeup of procedures, spamming the automatic weapons may cause more lagg than before(?)
1.7.0 first public release
< 1.7.0 unreleased test builds
So the vehicle mechanics work fine and their models too, but somehow all the textures of the clothing items are completely butted. I exported and tried both texture mapping variants complatible with 1.16. but it's stil not showing up correctly. Also for some reason bullets now also destroy dirt blocks which is not intended and kinda game breaking tbh ^^' I initially wanted to update to 1.19.2 as soon as it was possible. How would you go about it so that I could still come back to finishing the 1.16 version?
Sorry for late reply ^^' I usually tend to have workspace on lowest MCR version (I have several MCR versions installed) and when I need to export to version not supported by it, I just copy workspace, open it on higher MCR, check for issues, export, and come back to develop on lower one. Although with 1.16/1.18 it is way harder, as there are a lot of game-breaking changes unfortunately :< (model swappings as you mentioned)
More Minecraft Mods
I had to reexport and set up all models and repair some locked code but now there's only a bit of playtesting to be done and the 1.16.5 "retrobuild" will be ready for release 🤠
