Description
Oaks Frontier is a Minecraft Java Neo-Forge mod for 1.21.1 designed to make the process of surviving extremely difficult without ruining the survival game experience, completely overhauling the combat system, new hunting mechanics, and overhauling a few mob's AI.
Survival mode in Minecraft is almost too easy and hasn’t changed since the days of alpha and beta. Oaks Frontier not only aims to completely overhaul how the early days are spent but also makes progress feel rewarding and like you’re improving your skill.
Hostile mobs have always felt lacklustre and easy to deal with after you get iron and just become core to deal with, like a mild inconvenience at best. Now all Hostile mobs (including most modded hostile mobs too) have a new attribute associated with them called “Difficulty” and when the creator first spawns they are assigned a random difficulty based on the game’s difficulty.

- Some friendly mobs will run away from the player (can be added to with data packs).
- No more tree punching, players must get flint shards to craft a knife.

- Villagers, Iron Golems and cats now all come with a randomised name from a list using a JSON (also data pack driven so can be edited with data packs).
