Q: Will you stay in 1.16.5? Will you backport to 1.12 or update to 1.18+?
A: We are currently in 1.16.5 but will soon move onto working on 1.18 and potentially any other future updates. However, we will not be backporting to 1.12 due to a series of development related conflicts and factors.
Q: Will there be a server for the mod?
A: Yes, we are and will be working on an official server and modpack. To hear updates on this, make sure to join or discord linked below or keep up to date on our progress through our website.
Q: Please can I have a custom coat?
A: We will be working on opening commissions for custom coats ingame. These costs have not been finalised, join our discord to hear more.
Q: I have a suggestion for the mod! Where may I contact you?
A: In our discord, we have a channel dedicated to our suggestions. There you may also search for previous suggestions and our plans to instate said suggestions.
Q: What are the phases and what are we on?
A: Phase One is our Adventure Release. Focused on upgrading everything horse for survival mode. Horse model, coats, animations, skill levelling, stable care, training equipment, horse armor, and equestrian decor.
Phase Two is our English/Western Release. Focussed on fluffing equestrian servers with all those pleasantries and upgrades. More saddles, more tack, more horse models, more animations, more decorations, more coats, breeding and genetics, illnesses, and options.
Phase Three is our Alight Release. Did anyone say magic? The biggest and last release will be completely based on adventure. A prebuild dimension with lore, layers of exploration, new blocks, new mobs and mythical equines, and new things to discover.
