OATHWROUGHT

A grounded adventure and progression modpack built around exploration, deliberate preparation, and equipment you earn with your own hands.

Oathwrought reshapes Minecraft into a slower, more physical journey. Familiar tools and armor are not simply arranged on a crafting table: metal is heated, worked on a Smithing Anvil, quenched, polished, and assembled. Navigation asks you to carry an Atlas, mark trails, and remember where you have been. New dimensions and structures reward players who prepare before leaving home.

The pack is designed for solo play or a small group that wants meaningful progression without turning Minecraft into a quest-menu checklist.

CORE EXPERIENCE

• Hands-on smithing: Overgeared replaces many ordinary equipment recipes with forging, heating, quenching, polishing, casting, blueprints, and quality-based results.
• Exploration with consequences: Terralith, Incendium, Nullscape, Deeper and Darker, Eternal Starlight, and The Bumblezone expand the world without removing the importance of preparation.
• Physical navigation: Antique Atlas records only explored terrain. A carried Compass reveals direction and coordinates, while Chalk and Chalk: Chars let players mark trails, hazards, ruins, and meeting points in the world.
• Food with purpose: Farmer's Delight, Rustic Delight, Aquaculture, Aquaculture Delight, Create: Slice & Dice, and Meal Mastery turn cooking and fishing into long-term progression.
• Atmosphere and movement: Ambient Sounds, Sound Physics Remastered, Fresh Animations, Fresh Moves, Fancy World Animations, and supporting animation mods make the world feel more alive.
• Small-group communication: Local text chat, proximity voice, Simple Radios, Chalk markings, and Envelope's carrier-pigeon mail support cooperation without turning distance into ordinary global chat.
• A real starting guide: Every player receives an Oathwrought Field Guide covering JEI, Flint and Rocks, knapping, stone tools, Copper smithing, Carry On, navigation, pigeon mail, forging, and the pack's other foundational systems.

FORGED FRONTIERS — VERSION 0.6

Forged Frontiers expands Oathwrought with The Bumblezone, Village Bounties, Antique Atlas navigation, trail marking, carrier-pigeon post, focused fishing, stronger onboarding, and a major realm-equipment smithing pass.

Hollis designed and directed the update's progression, presentation, material rules, and final control layout. Version 0.6 includes 77 custom compatibility item textures under Hollis's direction, including 64 equipment heads, blades, frames, and working components personally hand-edited and supplied by Hollis. Six new flattened-metal plate sets and seven heated-ingot palettes extend Overgeared's visual language across realm metals and Neptunium.

IMPORTANT CONTROLS

• M: Open Antique Atlas while an Atlas is carried
• J: Open Meal Mastery
• R / U: View an item's recipe or uses in JEI
• Tab: Inventory
• Q: Drop item
• Mouse 4: Push to talk
• V: Voice Chat interface

The Simple Voice Chat mute action is intentionally unbound by default so it does not conflict with the Atlas.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

• Minecraft 1.21.1
• NeoForge 21.1.248
• A fresh world is strongly recommended for the intended terrain, structures, dimensions, and village objectives.
• Check JEI whenever a familiar recipe does not work. Oathwrought intentionally changes many ordinary crafting recipes.

Oathwrought is created and curated by Hollis.
