Untouched Nature (UN) is a very big and complex mod that makes Minecraft look and feel a bit different and much more realistic, encouraging players to explore completely new lands, learn new things about nature and perform different kinds of magical actions. 

Dependencies  

UN doesn't have any dependencies except minecraft forge, but there are some optional mods, that are required for the full functionality of this mod:

 

Highly recommended mods to use with UN:

Compatibility (work in progress) 

Solution (tested with RTG, may need some further testing for another mod)

Set "Disable all custom biomes" to true in the "custom_biomes" config section.

Set "Use vanilla biomes worldgen" to true in "vanilla_biomes_trees" section.

Restart the game (if you used ingame config) and create a new world with RTG.

The result:

RTG landscapes with UN trees and all necessary stuff spawning.

List of features 

P.S. Screenshots may contain hints about the creation process of many things !

World generation 

Untouched Nature shows the possibilities of Minecraft 1.12.2 worldgen in its real beauty: no custom noise patterns or smoothing, only vanilla tools, but artistically used.

NOTE: Almost every part of worldgen is configurable! You can get rid of all custom biomes and flora, without losing important stuff for crafting; you can use custom UN terrain with only vanilla biomes, or use vanilla biomes with UN trees, or even make a completely vanilla world with all important stuff still spawning! The world can be whatever you like.

Vanilla-style configured world

Most trees and plants in UN are real ones and are carefully and naturally destributed in the corresponding climate zones. Biomes from different zones are separated by rivers to prevent unnatural look.

UN replaces vanilla logs and leaves in the world (only in custom trees), it's needed for the full-tree chopping and new leaves decaying rules (configurable).Trees will drop vanilla blocks when chopped!

Saplings for UN kinds of oak, birch and other vanilla trees can be converted to the original ones and back.

UN logs can be converted to the closest vanilla ones using the convertation catalogue. It may be useful, if you hate clutter in your inventory and storage system.

Some things to know before playing 

  • You need to have a decent PC with at least 4GB RAM (allocated for Minecraft)
  • UN replaces some vanilla textures (waterlily and red sand&red sandstone blocks), as well as vanilla biome colors (configurable)
  • The very first load of the new world (initial world creation process)can take a while, highly depending on how many big trees are near the spawn area; after that this world chunk loading will have a normal speed.
  • UN adds a useful food testing tool, potion that makes player 100%hungry, named Hungry Belly potion.You can find it in the creative Brewing tab.
  • UN adds new harder recipe for bread (can be cooked in the stove) and removes milk healing effect (configurable)
  • Hand-made UN trees have custom leaves, which have their own decaying rules, and they sometimes may not decay properly due to strange minecraft block-updates issues.In most cases they will update and decay after any neighbor block will be updated.
  • Also all UN trees (not the small fruit trees with thin trunks) can be fully chopped down by an axe (configurable).Remaining leaves will decay after a while, or you can use Leaves Blower to remove them.

 

Technical Info:

UN uses custom system for loading and spawning structures like trees in the world.All these structures are made by hand and saved in a .tst and .btst templates- some kind of schematic-like files.They are formally text files, that game reads once during the pre-initialization phase and then saves in its memory.It means that you will need quite good PC and at least 4GB of RAM to load a game.Also the structure spawning system prevents trees (rocks etc) to overlap each other and landscape, so on the world creation it will take quite a while for the system to calculate and prevent intersections and cascading worldgen issues.This will happen only during the very first load, and highly depends on how big trees are in the spawning area.It however saves further performance for smooth gaming and didn't show any freezing or lags while playing.

 

History and future of the Untouched Nature

You may find UN a bit similar to my older project, OTG preset Traveller's Dream, and it is true =) When I started UN a few years ago, I wanted to make just a small simple mod, like an addon to TD, with some new blocks (logs, leaves and flowers) to use in a preset.However, I got so captured away by new possibilities as a mod maker, that decided to make this project a totally separate one, and so the UN was born.
I have very busy times during these years, so the day of the release happens only today.UN is a giant project, that gave me a lot of fun and teached a lot, and now it is finally out!
As this is a really big mod, more likely there will be no updates to newer Minecraft versions.That however is not a 100% final sentence.
Currently I'm much more interested in new ideas, new horizons for me.New Minecraft versions may give birth to a new project, if everything will be on my side=)
