Granules

Granules

granule: noun; "a small particle, grain, or little piece of a substance."

Granules, definitively, is a mod about a lot of little things; though, like all little things, they're only little relative to what they may be, be it a little transportation, a little enchantment, or even a little ore, all of which can vary from player to player. As such, it adds a little new content to flavor your experience.

Contents

• Multibiome World Type: Single Biome too strict, default too broad? Select a Multibiome world to get a catered selection going for yourself.
• Loading Optimization: Granules provides the option to temporarily prefer chunk updates directly around you during sustained chunk loading rather than loading every single one at once, hopefully allowing for smoother performance.
• Enhanced Workstations: Enchanted Tomes can be found in most "loot chamber"-type structures; monster rooms and strongholds being the biggest examples. They can enhance the abilities of most workstations, both improving them and bringing them up to speed with others; this category also includes implementing specialized arrows with the Fletching Table.
• Lesser Items: For the rarer crowd of mobs, like endermen and phantoms, it can be hard to get drops reliably; that said, the way you interact with them hasn't changed, but you should be seeing profits through lesser versions of their existing drops, which can be compressed or traded into their superior forms.
• The Old World: Around the stronghold annulus, you'll find rarer, chancier items and opportunities for expansion and enhancement of your current gameplay, especially through Old World Roses and Cod, which are both very powerful ingredients.
• Redstone Contraptions: Not a lot of new redstone stuff, but I think what I've added should be sufficient... Movers are the most notable feature that interacts with redstone, able to move sort of like a "wireless minecart", both horizontally and vertically. Click them together, call them across the route, or send them to your friends.
• Void Fog: Return of the void fog! You can now add void fog to your worlds as a persistent feature with its associated game rule. It starts to appear around the player around the deepslate layer and below, gradually building and building toward the bottom...

This isn't all the major content that Granules adds, but consider taking it out for a spin and trying out its features for yourself :-) The mod also adds many enchantments, brewing recipes, and miscellaneous quality-of-life recipes, maybe a few game rules, and just enough world generation to improve your experience, likely a vanilla+ one, in line with the mod and its complements. If you don't want to play with any major content, you can also choose to ban it from appearing in your world more than it already has.

Complements

While not mods I've made, I'd recommend using them alongside Granules for a fuller experience:

• Chunky: This mod has saved my computer countless times over the last month.
• Enchantment Descriptions: While not up to date with 26.2 (as of writing this), there is support implemented for it.
• Roughly Enough Items: Just a good mod generally. Very helpful when Minecraft's existing recipe book is not.
• Jade: Just for identifying certain things! I'm not the best explainer or gameplay presenter, so if you need more help than a recipe browser is willing to provide, you'll see a bit more identification here.
