NERI

🚀 NERI — Not Entirely Random Item

A highly configurable progression mod that replaces traditional resource gathering with automated, staged item generation.

Designed for skyblock, void worlds, and custom progression maps, NERI gives you full control over how players obtain resources — even in completely empty worlds.

🌌 New: Void World Generation

NERI now includes a custom void world generator:

🪐 NeriVoidChunkGenerator

True void world with vanilla biome distribution
Supports:
- biome_size scaling
- spawn_biome (guaranteed biome near spawn)

➡️ This allows biome-dependent gameplay even in a skyblock environment.

⚙️ Core Idea

Instead of mining, items and resources are generated over time from configurable pools.

Progression is divided into stages, unlocking new items, mechanics, and systems as you advance.
