StarfieldPastoral | 星野牧歌 0.3.6

First Public Early Test Release

Version 0.3.6 is the first formal public early test release of StarfieldPastoral | 星野牧歌.

This is not a small concept build or a bare prototype. It is a public alpha release with a broad playable foundation already in place.
The current goal of the project is to steadily build a valley-life experience inside Minecraft with daily rhythm, long-term progression, rural atmosphere, and expanding gameplay systems.

If you are looking for more than a simple farm-themed content pack, 0.3.6 is the point where StarfieldPastoral becomes something players can seriously jump into and start exploring.

• Built around a full valley-life gameplay loop rather than isolated themed features

Multiplayer Farm Experience

StarfieldPastoral is not being built only for solo play.

Version 0.3.6 already includes practical multiplayer-facing logic and compatibility work intended to support a shared farm experience, including:

• players progressing through the same valley space together
• daily farm systems designed with multiplayer behavior in mind
• catch-up handling for offline players and their farm progress
• multiplayer-friendly safeguards and optimizations in selected farm systems
• continued work toward making farming, animals, progression, and daily flow feel better in multiplayer sessions

In other words, 0.3.6 is not just “able to run in multiplayer”. It is already moving toward a genuinely enjoyable multiplayer farm experience.

Current Version Status

Please note that 0.3.6 is still an alpha-stage public early test release.

That means:

• the project already has a substantial playable foundation
• it is not yet a final or feature-complete release
• some systems are still being expanded, refined, and brought into stronger overall parity
• future versions will continue improving content coverage, gameplay detail, and consistency

If you join at this stage, you are stepping into a project that is already playable, already ambitious in scope, and still growing quickly.

Platform

• Minecraft 1.21.1
• NeoForge 21.1.217
• Java 21
