Desolation
Wildfires bring both destruction and renewal.
This mod requires the 2.0.0 version of GeckoLib - loading it with 3.0.0 will cause a crash on startup!
Geckolib is reportedly incompatible with Sodium. If your game crashes, try removing Sodium for now.
Explore the new Charred Forest biome
- Ash covers the surface of the biome, and has several useful applications.
- Keep an eye out for the rare Cinderfruit Plant, whose fruit is said to have fire-resistant properties.
- Make sure to wear a mask to counteract the biome's damaging effects!
Befriend the peaceful Ash Scuttlers
- These curious critters wander the surface of the charred forest, and can sometimes be found hiding in trees.
- When fed a certain fruit, they can dig up ash piles and produce rare resources for the player!
Beware of dangerous new enemies
- The Blackened stalk the forest day and night, and will throw blinding ash at unsuspecting targets, or attack up close.
- Wear goggles to protect against their ash!
- Very rarely, they can drop their hearts, which can grant the player immense power when brewed into potions.

Crashing? Read this first:
- What version of Fabric API do you have? Version 0.24.1 is recommended - Geckolib crashes on startup on newer versions.
- Do you have Geckolib 2.0.0 for Fabric installed? If not, install it.
- Do you have Sodium installed? If so, remove it - Geckolib is currently incompatible with Sodium. As an alternative, you could use Canvas Renderer or Optifabric until Geckolib 3.0.0 releases, which will be compatible with Sodium.
- If you want to run the mod on a server, make sure you're using 1.0.2.1 - older versions will crash in multiplayer.
If you encounter mob animation issues when using with Optifabric, try disabling your shaders.
Please don't ask for a Forge port. A Forge port is not currently planned, although anyone is free to port it themselves if they wish.
rip this mod... such a beauty in this world with no words to describe it.....
so... is the mod dead?
1.15.2 plis
Will this mod ever be avalible for forge?
In reply to bloddysoul666:
Forge has enough mods already. Stop asking fabric devs to port to forge when forge obviously doesn't need more than what they already have in the mod department.
In reply to radiatorboi:
I really don't get why you came out swinging like that. There's no harm in asking the question, and people acting like it's some kind of war between the two loaders doesn't help anyone.
But that said, it would be nice if people did the bare minimum, and hit Ctrl+F "Forge", and find their question has already been answered by the mod author...
In reply to Murdermancer:
facts tho, like i dont understand why fabric developers or people who use fabric get so angry when people ask a forge question, just like shut up, theres no need to get angry and mad all of the sudden.
In reply to adam_tomcz:
The only reason I got so mad is because EVERYTIME I go onto a fabric mod, I see several people asking for forge ports, even when it specifically says in the description that forge ports are not being considered. And don't act like fabric developers/people are the only people who get upset when a forge port comes up, because forge developers/people treat people who ask for fabric ports the exact same way. I'm not saying the hostility between forge and fabric is a good thing, but it's certainly alive and people have reasons to be mad at people who ask for ports.
In reply to radiatorboi:
well if you say its not a good thing, then don't be hostile in the first place?
who cares if someone asks for a forge port, its okay to ask because sometimes fabric mod pages don't clarify if there is going to be a forge port or not, people shouldn't get mad over simple questions, if it pisses people off so much, just reply with a simple thing saying "no", instead of going off on each other, its astonishing to me how people get angry on the internet over stupid mod things whether its forge or fabric...
In reply to radiatorboi:
Wooooooooooooooooah u have nooooooo chill my guy, like, ignore the comment section if you are truly so upset. We get it, you're the fabric lover but no need to go that insane on some poor forge user
In reply to lostchild777:
I'm not going insane on him just because he's a forge user. I use both loaders, and I can recognize the strengths and weaknesses of each. I'm going insane on him because I'm sick of seeing the question. If people don't explain why ports won't be considered for whichever loader, then the amount of people who continue to ask the same question without knowing how hard it can be to port to a new loader will just continue to increase.
In reply to radiatorboi:
literally shut up
In reply to adam_tomcz:
its not a problem when one person asks it.
its a problem when every other comment on every fabric mod is someone complaining that its not on forge, or asking for a port.
the comment of "forge port pls" will always be considered hostile, redundant, and stupid, not only because the question is already answered in every fabric mod description, but also because of how much everyone spams it.
In reply to milkev:
mmm no. asking for a forge port is really not a big deal. not every fabric mod clarifies that there wont be a forge port, so obviously people ask, this website is literally curseforge, people use forge, and its not a big deal if asking if there is a forge port on a mod page that doesn't clarify it, the only reason the forge/fabric community hate each other is because both sides get angry when asking for a port, its literally not a big deal.
In reply to adam_tomcz:
ok, its not a problem when its not clarified.
issue is, it is clarified here. theres no reason to ask for a forge port. the post clearly states you can do it yourself, and otherwise, there wont be one.

When's the new update that's compatible with sodium looking to come out? No rush, I just can't wait to play with this mod alongside sodium!
In reply to radiatorboi:
It's been mostly done for a while, but the armor crash with Geckolib is supposedly still present in the full release of 3.0.0 so I'm waiting for that to be fixed before I release the update.
GeckoLib just updated! Can finally enjoy this mod!
Edit: Oof, my bad. GeckoLib is now compatible with Sodium but Desolation also needs to update to be compatible with the new GeckoLib. ewe
In reply to Kr4ckle:
So now I'm waiting for this bruh. Can somebody let me know if Desolation updates to Geckolib 3.0?
