Familiar Additions - a Minecraft Mod
@familiaradditions.bsky.social
Familiar Additions, a Minecraft Mod, introduces new yet familiar content: scrapped features, elements from Minecraft spinoffs, and completely new ideas. FA is built off of Mojang's design philosophy to make new content fit the game, with some exceptions.
howdy y'all's! I apologize, I will be taking a bit of a break from social media and will be focusing on my mental health, working on the first release of the mod, and also playing terraria with my best friend. In the meantime, have a snippet of what's to come #mcdev #mimecraft #mimecraftmod #gamedev

I may be attempting to create a new recipe type for a "new" crafting block that's data driven with jsons so anyone can add any recipe. I am jumping into this as an amateur developer with a lack of complex java knowledge. What can go wrong? 🫡 #mcdev #minecraft #minecraftmodding #gamedev

Legit, these are so fun to mess around with. It's so rewarding actually seeing features come together with so few bugs. The only thing left for steel drums is to allow for stacks of items to properly stack to 99 only inside the container. #mcdev #minecraft

MORE sounds 😈 y'all's I think I'm cooking lately. A lot of these sounds are old, especially the obsidian sounds, which is shocking because it's probably the most high quality sound I've made. Sometimes I'll screw up sounds and they sound so distorted but other times I think I cook #mcdev #minecraft

I swear y'all's, I don't copy other mods, it's all a coincidence 😭 Maybe since this keeps happening, that means the ideas make so much sense for Minecraft? Idk, but I hope I have a somewhat different take on the idea. #mcdev #minecraft

I've decided that tomorrow is like 10 minutes after the first post 🗿
Here's the original clip of the Redstone labs from 2024. Ignore the clicking in the blaring, I didn't know how to clean up audio at the time. Also I have no idea why breaking glass was a trigger for the siren. #mcdev #minecraft

2026 recreation of the first redstone labs clip I took back in 2024. The original clip was all done as a concept with resource packs (I will post it tomorrow,) and not long after that, I realized that I'm waiting for nothing and just jumped right into actual mod development. #mcdev #minecraft

Steel drums now go boom if they contain 5 or more gunpowder. The explosion will scale with the amount of gunpowder inside (I haven't figured that out yet.) Also, the gimmick of steel drums is that each slot can hold 99 items instead of 64, but it only has 9 slots. #mcdev #minecraft

Y'all's I think I might be an imposter 📮 for not playing mods that add new content to Minecraft. I play straight up vanilla, modded with only QOL changes, or play test my own mod. #mcdev #minecraft

What's this? a mob? a FAMILIAR mob? Here is the Sculk Snapper, a revision of the scrapped Sculk Jaw block of the Wild Update. Instead of a block, the Sculk Snapper is an entity that hides in deep pits underneath Deepslate Rubble, and occasionally replaces Sculk blocks. #mcdev #minecraft

SOUNDS!! One of my favorite aspects of game development is sound design. I cannot describe the joy I get when I hear my own sounds in game and they DON'T sound terrible. Also, finally the functionality of the 1st block of FA, the redstone dust block, has been implemented LESSGOOOOO #mcdev #minecraft

Merry Christmas/happy holidays y'alls! here is a VERY early clip of Redstone Labs gameplay. Keep in mind this is missing a majority of content, especially redstone stuff. Generation is a nightmare, worldgen cuts off 5 lab segments, and I have to work around that. #mcdev #minecraft #happyholidays

I am flabbergasted, so much pain (mental) went into just getting this thing to generate with jigsaw blocks. countless hours and lost sleep was worth it LESSGOOOOOOOO! this is my first ever jigsaw structure that actually works. The biggest challenge of the labs' development has been overcome. #mcdev

A bunch of small quality of life mods I highly recommend using with Familiar Additions and honestly Minecraft Java edition in general are Sounds with M.R.U. and YetAnotherConfigLib, Day Length with AnCore, Better Controls, CommandKeys, Sound Physics Remastered, WorldEdit, and ProPlacer!

It appears I have finally figured out how to use jigsaw blocks. FINALLY!!! Procedurally generated Redstone Labs are extremely close to becoming a thing. Split into 25 segments, each segment will have different rooms, decor, loot, entrances, cores (large central rooms,) and more. #mcdev #minecraft

I keep watching mod showcase videos and getting greatly disappointed because so many ideas I thought I came up with, have already been done. I guess at this point it will depend on how the ideas are executed instead of originality but I like to think I have something different. #mcdev #minecraft
