Navigable Rivers

by WilliamWythers · on Modrinth

This datapack is an add-on for William Wythers' Overhauled Overworld which makes rivers a more viable method of travel.

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Data pack only.

Minecraft 1.20.4–1.21.10Newest
Minecraft 1.20.1–1.20.3

⬇ Download for 1.20.4–1.21.10 ⬇ Download for 1.20.1–1.20.3

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Purpose

This datapack is an add-on for William Wythers' Overhauled Overworld which uses features to carve any terrain which would encroach into the rivers' path.

Warning

Unfortunately, due to the way minecraft structures generate, where villages intersect with a river, some structures and roads can generate as if they are floating.
