MANDARIA 3

⚠️ Create / Flywheel

Create can currently have some issues depending on your setup, especially with the Flywheel rendering backend.

If you experience weird rendering, visual bugs or crashes related to Create, try:

/flywheel backend off

This disables the Flywheel backend and can fix some of the problems.

If everything works fine for you, you don't need to change anything.

🌎 Welcome to MANDARIA 3

MANDARIA started as a small Minecraft project between friends.

MANDARIA 1 and MANDARIA 2 were basically just us playing together, building stuff, exploring and messing around in our own worlds. It was never really meant to be something everyone could play.

But with MANDARIA 3, we wanted to change that.

Instead of keeping MANDARIA as a friends-only project, everyone should be able to play MANDARIA now.

You don't need to know anything about MANDARIA 1 or 2 and you definitely don't need to have played them. MANDARIA 3 is its own experience and a new start for the project.

⚙️ Create & Automation

One of the biggest parts of MANDARIA 3 is Create.

You can build machines, factories, automated farms, production lines, trains and much more. Instead of just crafting everything normally, you can actually build systems that produce and transport things for you.

With the different Create addons included in the pack, there's a lot more to mess around with too.

You can start with something simple and eventually end up with an entire industrial factory or railway network.

Basically:

You build it → you automate it → you make it way too complicated → you somehow make it work

🌎 Exploration

There's a lot more to find outside your base too.

Mods like Alex's Caves, Alex's Mobs, Dungeons and Taverns, Aquamirae, Fragmentum, Tidal Towns and more add new caves, structures, environments, creatures and places to explore.

Especially with Alex's Caves, underground exploration becomes a lot more interesting. Instead of just digging through the same caves over and over, you can randomly come across completely different cave systems with their own atmosphere, resources and dangers.

So yeah... maybe don't just walk into every giant hole you see.

🐊 New Mobs & Wildlife

The world also gets a lot more alive thanks to mods like Alex's Mobs.

You'll encounter new animals, creatures and hostile mobs while exploring different parts of the world.

Some are completely harmless

Some aren't

You will probably find out which is which eventually.

---

🍳 Farming & Food

If you're more into farming and cooking, there's plenty for you too.

MANDARIA 3 includes mods like Farmer's Delight, Chef's Delight, Ocean's Delight, End's Delight, My Nether's Delight, Aquaculture Delight, Aquamirae Delight, Let's Do: Farm & Charm, Let's Do: Brewery and Let's Do: Vinery.

There's a lot more food, ingredients, crops and recipes to discover, so you can actually build proper farms and food production instead of surviving on the same 3 Minecraft foods forever.

🏠 Building & Decoration

There's also a bunch of new blocks, furniture and decorative content for anyone who likes building.

Whether you're making a massive factory, a cozy house, a village or something completely unnecessary but cool, there's a lot more stuff to work with.

---

⚔️ Combat & Gear

MANDARIA 3 also adds new weapons, equipment, items and abilities through mods like Tetra, Blossom Blade, Artifacts and Relics.

So there's more to find while exploring and more ways to prepare yourself before going into dangerous areas.

---

🧭 Quality of Life

There's also a bunch of smaller things that just make playing Minecraft less annoying.

Stuff like:

JEI for recipes and items

Jade for information about blocks and mobs

Xaero's Minimap

Xaero's World Map

VeinMiner

Carry On

Gravestones

Right Click Harvest

and more

Nothing that completely changes Minecraft, just things that make the experience smoother.

🚂 So what is MANDARIA 3?

It's basically a big mix of everything we like about Minecraft.

Explore new places

Build whatever you want

Make completely unnecessary Create machines

Automate everything

Fight new mobs

Find new loot

Farm and cook

Build factoriesa

Make railways

And probably spend 4 hours fixing a machine that should've taken 10 minutes

MANDARIA started as something we made for ourselves and our friends.

MANDARIA 3 is where we're opening it up to everyone
