IDEAS

IDEAS brings building families, mushroom processing, custom environments, redstone components, and practical survival tools into one Fabric mod.

What it adds

• Building options including slabs, stairs, vertical slabs, doors, trapdoors, and architectural pieces.
• Expanded woodwork, storage, ladders, bookshelves, and woodcutting.
• Custom mushroom models, dried mushroom items, powders, infusions, lighting, and brewing content.
• Custom biomes, trees, and environments, including the Chromatic Realm, Aurora, and Somnara.
• Redstone logic, thresholds, delays, and workshop components.
• Inventory, planting, harvesting, navigation, and building conveniences.

Required game version

This beta targets Minecraft 26.3-snapshot-6, Fabric Loader 0.19.3 or later, and Java 25 or later. It is not for stable Minecraft 26.3, 26.2, Forge, or NeoForge.

Install compatible versions of Fabric API (0.156.1+26.3 or later) and Mo Glass separately. MoreLadders, Trailcraft, Glassworks, and Farmhand are bundled in the consolidated IDEAS download. More Dyes is integrated directly into IDEAS rather than installed as a separate mod. Do not install duplicate standalone copies alongside it.

The beta 3 package reports version 0.0.1.4.8-snapshot6-workshop-merged.3. Its source is kept separately, not embedded in the game JAR. Beta 2 remains available as an older file.

Included workshop modules

• Trailcraft: craftable per-item waypoint markers for returning to discovered places, without teleportation.
• Glassworks: intact glass recovery using the glass cutter, plus lossy pane recycling through the pane press.
• Farmhand: row planting that consumes real planting items from the offhand.

The Chromatic Dye Basin, RGB color system, and creator-supplied More Dyes colour families are IDEAS content. Beta 3 integrates the More Dyes source and supplied textures directly.

Beta status

Earlier development checks included an isolated dedicated-server run, redstone timing checks, fresh-world generation, and a client visual review. Beta 3 built successfully but has not received a new in-game launch or gameplay test. Back up existing worlds before using it. Long-session performance and comprehensive save/restart testing are not complete.
