🌊 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
