ClayGrounds

ClayGrounds is an all-in-one Minecraft RPG experience powered by the Decisions and Impulses (DAI) Engine, bringing the ClayGrounds datapack, resource pack, and required framework together in one ready-to-play modpack.

Explore the tropical floating world surrounding Solmere, venture through handcrafted hunting grounds, battle custom enemies, complete contracts, earn gold and EXP, develop multiple classes, unlock subclassing, and progress toward increasingly dangerous encounters.

RPG Progression

Begin your journey as an Adventurer before advancing into specialized professions:

• Fighter
• Ranger
• Mystic

Each profession maintains its own level and EXP while story progression, exploration, unlocked content, and gold remain tied to your character.

As you progress, subclassing allows a single character to switch between unlocked professions rather than requiring a separate character for every playstyle.

Custom Combat

ClayGrounds expands beyond normal Minecraft combat with class-based abilities and progression.

Different professions gain access to their own combat styles and skills, including:

• Melee attacks
• Ranged abilities
• Magical attacks
• Movement skills
• Area attacks
• Class-specific progression

Explore ClayGrounds

Travel through a custom floating-island world featuring locations such as:

• Solmere
• Sunwash Strand
• Verdant Steps
• Claycrest Ruins
• Sunken Grotto
• Class advancement areas
• Hunting grounds
• Boss encounters
• Hidden routes and landmarks

ClayGrounds is managed as a persistent DAI Experience, allowing its world, progression, interface, and gameplay systems to operate as a unified game built inside Minecraft.

Custom Creatures

ClayGrounds features its own native enemies with custom models and articulated multipart animation.

Creatures can independently animate body parts such as heads, arms, legs, equipment, tails, and limbs while their underlying entities continue handling combat, targeting, movement, and hitboxes.

Included in This Modpack

This package combines the three components needed to play ClayGrounds:

• ClayGrounds (Data) — gameplay, progression, classes, contracts, entities, world systems, and encounters
• ClayGrounds (Resource) — custom models, textures, sounds, particles, items, weapons, and visual presentation
• Decisions and Impulses (DAI) — the engine powering ClayGrounds' custom gameplay, interfaces, persistence, world management, and server-authoritative systems

Everything is packaged together so ClayGrounds can be installed and played as a single experience.
