Description

🌊 Raft World

Raft World is a NeoForge mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 that transforms the game into an ocean survival experience inspired by Raft.

After using /startraft, players are transported to a vast ocean world where floating debris becomes the primary source of resources, creating a unique survival loop centered around collection, expansion, and adaptation.


✨ Features

🌊 Endless Ocean Dimension

  • Adds a custom dimension (raftworld:raft) made entirely of ocean.
  • Players begin on a small wooden raft with minimal resources.
  • No natural terrain or traditional resource generation.

📦 Floating Loot System

  • Resources drift across the ocean surface, carried by simulated currents.
  • Debris continuously appears around active players to keep exploration and collection engaging.
  • Current loot includes:
    • Dirt
    • Oak Planks
    • Sticks
    • Rotten Flesh
    • Oak Sapling

🌬️ Ocean Currents

  • Floating items drift from east to west across the ocean surface.
  • When players enter water, they are also affected by the same ocean current, subtly pushing them westward.
  • Encourages players to position, build, and collect resources efficiently.
  • Creates a gameplay loop inspired by drifting ocean debris.

🚀 Getting Started

To begin a new Raft World adventure, use:

/startraft

This command creates your starting raft, sets your respawn point, and teleports you to the custom ocean dimension.

A starter barrel will spawn on your raft containing a fishing rod, giving you an immediate way to collect floating resources and begin your survival journey.


🧠 Gameplay

The survival loop is simple but rewarding:

  1. 🪝 Collect drifting resources.
  2. 🧱 Expand your raft.
  3. ⚒️ Craft tools and structures.
  4. 🌊 Survive and continue growing.
