I create new biomes, unusual creatures and connected survival systems for Minecraft Bedrock.
Explore the project ↘Over the past year, I’ve been developing a Minecraft Bedrock Addon that reimagines the Overworld as a post-apocalyptic wilderness. Original biomes, mutated wildlife, abandoned structures and hidden dungeons offer new discoveries. While interconnected survival mechanics like radiation and new progression in the form of new ores and Bosses radiation bring fresh challenges.
At its heart, the Addon remains vanilla+: familiar blocky designs and an emphasis on exploration, crafting and discovery keep the experience grounded in Minecraft. New creatures and systems build on that foundation, with lore scattered around the world for players to uncover.
Below is a snapshot showing some of the features that I've been working on.
An ongoing project with gameplay playtesting and a supporting wiki.
The project aims to give players a new Minecraft survival experience from the moment they enter the world: unfamiliar biomes to explore, original creatures to encounter and systems to learn.
The features of this Addon have been designed to interconnect with each other. For example, a creature’s drop may be needed to craft armour, which then helps prepare the player for a boss encounter. This gives exploration, crafting and combat a shared purpose.
This is a fully independent project. I have personally created all code, textures, models and structures.
Development Status - In Active Development
The Bone Wastes are large wasteland biomes, which cover a lot of the new Overworld surface. Typically covered in fossils & burned trees.
The Bone Waste contains many decayed and ruined structures, remnants of the previous Overworld. While lots of loot and resources can be found here it also poses many dangers.
This biome features large amethyst trees, gemstone-inspired fauna and crystalline stalagmites as well as a source of amethyst, making this biome essential to visit. Several new mobs are native to this biome.
A relatively safer biome. Although some dangers remain, it offers a resource-rich, open area to establish a base.
The radiation has mutated the mushroom islands into new versions of themselves. The Golden Meadows feature giant yellow-capped mushrooms.
This biome contains lots of fungal-themed fauna and lots of structure loot. It also offers early-game resources, making it a great starting biome.
Fight Scorpion in the Bone Waste for their Scales
Mine for Cobalt Ore
Make Cobalite Armour
Fight the Mutated Creeper
This is an example of the interconnectedness of the Addon. Each mob has a specific later game purpose as Scorpions provide rare loot and their scales, which combined with refined cobalt ore make the Cobalite set. A set of armour that is extraordinarily blast resistant, perfect for fighting the Mutated Creeper.
Spawns in the Amethyst Fields. Extremely territorial and will hunt the player on sight. Basilisks come in a range of sizes and colours. The oldest and largest drop venom an essential crafting resource. Rarely, young basilisk can be found, they aggressive towards players and can be tamed. Once grown, they can be used to recycle enchantments from tools, weapons and armour; only when well fed though.
A passive mob that spawns in almost every biome. Fast and can be ridden long distances. To tame a Roadrunner, you must afflict it with the Blindness effect and then sneak up to it with food. Comes in a variety of textures, an essential creature to explore the new Overworld.
A mechanised dog that still patrols the wasteland long after it was made. It hoards metal and marks its territory with piles of scrap. Constantly on the lookout for more loot, it attacks any player wearing any kind of metal armour. It uses the coils on its back to pull metal towards it, this includes players wearing metal armour, however you can distract it with scrap metal to make a getaway.
A gameplay clip of RB-01. For this mob I took inspiration from the creeper; the creeper has a completely different playstyle to other mobs, as with zombies, skeletons etc. the player can simply run and start meleeing them. However, the creeper breaks this system as running up to it causes it to explode.
The RB-01 attacks any players with metal armour, pulling them in and not allowing them to maintain their effective range. Higher-tier armour increases the pull and the damage RB-01 deals, which means you can be worse off wearing Netherite instead of copper armour when fighting this mob, which breaks the traditional progression system in a fun way. It also forces the player to have scrap it their hotbar in case they come across an RB-01, creating an interesting mechanic.
However rather than just a hostile mob, the RB-01 also provides player with utility, by placing its salvage piles, which drop high-tier loot. Giving the player an incentive to keep RB-01 in the area or actively seek them out. This mechanic serves to show the detail, thought and unique gameplay mechanics for each mob in the Addon.
A few snapshots from the Mod Wiki. Which go over the different Mobs, Items, Biomes, Progression etc. Providing a essential information to new players as they try to understand the new Overworld.
