Introducing Halite Hollows, a new cave biome which has been indev for quite some time! This biome consists of rock salt, salt blocks, and salt spires. Salt can be thrown at Slimes to damage them, and salt blocks damage entities with half or less health. #mcdev #minecraftmod #gamedev #minecraft

An early look at new Ancient Chest behavior, animations that finally ACTUALLY work and AT LONG LAST, Ancient Key functionality. Ancient Keys have existed as an item for years but I had no actual plans or ideas for it until a few weeks ago... #mcdev #minecraftmod #gamedev #minecraftmod

I have been fighting Heavy Lever rendering for so long, but as of yesterday, I overcame those issues and now it's feature complete! On top of that, I have made it gradually increase/decrease power. Also, the fan now has variable speed to go perfectly with the lever! #mcdev #mcmod #gamedev #minecraft

thank you!! the interior and many decorations are SEMI procedural. the labs are a hybrid structure, having both a Java class and jigsaw elements, jigsaw of which are what give it randomness. I am working towards making every single segment completely random along with many more decorations!

Also FREEZING POTION AND EFFECT IS REAL! I added this effect ages ago and yesterday it was announced as an official feature. That's how you know your additions are familiar. I have something similar to the ice ball, the frost charge, but that is more in line with ice bombs from education edition.

As of today the labs ACTUALLY generate fully! I said they did some time ago, which was not true, worldgen cut it off. The lab region, responsible for ambience, FINALLY works with natural generation. It used to not set naturally, only when manually placed. #mcdev #minecraftmod #gamedev #minecraft

There are a couple bugs with this system but it works! The stencil particle image is a little too small and it is also flipped. When you carve with a stencil in your off hand and shears in main, off swings. FA is standalone but this system will be data driven which will allow for more torches.

Pumpkins have received a complete overhaul with new variants, carvings, and more! Vanilla pumpkins now grow from a vine and place like a barrel. Carving Stencils can be found, and are used to apply carvings. Pumpkins can be turned into Jack O'Lanterns with torches. #minecraft #mcmod #mcdev #gamedev

The Prybar is nearly feature complete! Prybars now have the highest base damage with the lowest attack speed. 1 in 10 hits can apply Restrained for 10-40 ticks, which prevents all melee attacks. Prybars can also open iron doors/trapdoors and remove Duct faces #mcdev #gamedev #minecraft #minecraftmod

Familiar Additions - a Minecraft Mod @familiaradditions.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

this terrain is incredible, I don't even know where to start when it comes to making anything like this. I've wanted to do world gen such as making a biome's underground block not stone and plateau generation in another but nothing ever seems to work.

Small, yet significant changes to the Nether Fortress have been made. Fortresses now have a processor that cracks Nether Bricks, and if generating near lava, Nether Bricks will be turned into Magma Bricks. A new room, the warped castle stalk room, has been added. #mcdev #gamedev #mcmod #minecraft

Easily the most sick bug, now of which is a feature, that I have ever come across during development. When placed, Broken Redstone Hearts, regardless of power, flicker Redstone Receivers. This makes it feel much more unstable which is exactly the vision. #mcdev #minecraftmod #gamedev #minecraft

Familiar Additions - a Minecraft Mod @familiaradditions.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

true! I expected a ton of issues, but there aren't many. trying to build with redstone is definitely not the best idea with the enchantment. it's really cool seeing it interact with doors and such. it treats every door as a lab door (a door which you can simply open by walking into or clicking on)

Familiar Additions - a Minecraft Mod @familiaradditions.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

A new enchantment, Conduction, has been added to FA along with an entire entity power system. Helmets/boots with conduction emit 15 Redstone power from the corresponding half of the wearer. Entities such as Redstone Bugs natu ally emit a Redstone signal of 5. #mcdev #minecraftmod #gamedev #minecraft

Familiar Additions - a Minecraft Mod @familiaradditions.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

The idea of making entities emit actual redstone is so exciting but the thought of even making it is not. I have no clue where to start but I'll try the first thing that comes to mind like I typically do

Familiar Additions - a Minecraft Mod @familiaradditions.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

I have finally made a way to give enchanted books unique textures along with tooltips for compatible items and incompatible enchantments. All that is required to do this is an item model, texture, and tooltip with optional fields. #mcmod #mcdev #minecraft #gamedev

Significant things are indev including a new structure that leads to another and a backport of the new maps to 1.21.1. Instead of adding new map items, I created an item predicate that filled maps use to determine the texture from the structure it leads to. #minecraft #mcdev #minecraftmod #gamedev

Familiar Additions - a Minecraft Mod @familiaradditions.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Significant FA features. Redstone Hearts power receivers in a large area, but if broken, it will short receivers and apply Redstone Interference. Players with interference cannot use mounts/ender pearls/TNT, and cannot break/place/interact with blocks unless tagged. #mcdev #mcmod #gamedev #minecraft

Steel Doors have been entirely revamped, receiving rusted variants, no longer requiring keys by default, and are part of a new system, hold interactions, consisting of timed actions with support for resets/reversals, start/end effects, sound options and more! #mcdev #minecraftmod #gamedev #minecraft

At long last, after over a year of attempts, I have finally figured out how to do emissive textures in Neoforge 1.21.1. Figuring out how to do stuff like this where you can go back on many existing features and update them is an indescribable feeling. #mcdev #minecraftmod #gamedev #minecraft

Familiar Additions - a Minecraft Mod @familiaradditions.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

RIGHT!? it's such a miniscule change that I think goes a long way. I find it really satisfying

010

Familiar Additions - a Minecraft Mod @familiaradditions.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

I figured it out!! I had duplicate registry of recipe types hidden within a recipe serializer class and one of the recipe classes did not actually return a recipe type. I'm surprised I never had any issues loading the game because of it

Familiar Additions - a Minecraft Mod @familiaradditions.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

I felt that music discs needed a little freshening up, so I locked in and gave them exactly that. Music discs never really read as flat discs to me so I gave them all an edge highlight. #mcdev #minecraftmod #gamedev #minecraft

3 minutes of Redstone Labs ambience. The Redstone Labs do something that no other structure does; play unique ambience in the structure's bounding box. There are many different sounds that play, including some that only play under specific conditions. #mcdev #minecraftmod #gamedev #minecraft

Familiar Additions - a Minecraft Mod @familiaradditions.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

Random features including Hanging Cables, which as of today, are feature complete! They serve as a decorative and functional block that, when powered, propagate Redstone power down the entire column with no distance limit, but they only power the block below. #minecraftmod #mcdev #gamedev #minecraft

0122

Familiar Additions - a Minecraft Mod @familiaradditions.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

I did not use data gen for it but I'm also having this issue with crafting literally anything. I have added 2 recipe types but only one works in the crafting table but I don't think that is the problem.

100

Familiar Additions - a Minecraft Mod @familiaradditions.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

yeah it's been weird like that for a bit. not sure what's going on. I never did anything to crafting tables or have any inventory tick events that modify items, so I don't understand why it's happening

101

Familiar Additions - a Minecraft Mod @familiaradditions.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

a very familiar addition that deserves to be in vanilla minecraft: nether brick fence gates. also I have no idea what was going on with the crafting, when I manually place items to craft it was glitchy, but when I used the book, it was fine??? h e lp #mcdev #minecraftmod #gamedev #minecraft

Familiar Additions - a Minecraft Mod @familiaradditions.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

yes true that's what I was going for at first but I couldn't quite get it right. will definitely revisit!

Familiar Additions - a Minecraft Mod @familiaradditions.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

after so many hours of development, the Redstone Labs COMPLETELY GENERATE! this has by far been one of my biggest achievements and I have you guys to thank for the support. this is only the beginning of the journey to making this structure an experience. #mcdev #minecraft #gamedev #minecraftmod

the block that doesn't care if it's vanilla friendly or not, the siren, doing what it does best; blaring. the warden is not particularly fond of it. the siren serves as a distraction for the warden but punishment for those who try to cheese the redstone labs. #mcdev #minecraftmod #gamedev #minecraft

0140

Familiar Additions - a Minecraft Mod @familiaradditions.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

honestly yeah true. I was thinking about that as well. theres so much that could be released as standalone mods but I still have quite a bit to do before I am okay releasing anything

010

Familiar Additions - a Minecraft Mod @familiaradditions.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

big update on lab development: I have finally figured out how to give the labs a structure type and turn it into class a with FULL control. labs stopped generating naturally but when spawned with commands, it's complete! additionally, deep dark is placed in the entire bounding box on generation!

000

Familiar Additions - a Minecraft Mod @familiaradditions.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

still indev! I plan to release the first drop next spring for neoforge and the version would be most likely latest.

Familiar Additions - a Minecraft Mod @familiaradditions.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

chests now give visual and audible feedback when trying to open them with an obstruction, and compasses can now be placed and point towards the nearest entity with a matching compass type. #mcdev #minecraft #minecraftmod #gamedev

a new crafting type has been added to FA along with lab table functionality! reconstitution is data-driven and serves as balanced uncrafting! recipes define an input, up to 9 outputs, decay & processing time. when no items are processed, a fail effect plays! #mcdev #gamedev #minecraft #minecraftmod

0152

Familiar Additions - a Minecraft Mod @familiaradditions.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

bluesky is not letting me share a video so here's something else. I might have locked in after my first json system success and completed my own recipe type. this might be the most useful thing in all of FA but y'all will have to wait to see more. #mcdev #minecraftmod #minecraft #gamedev

Familiar Additions - a Minecraft Mod @familiaradditions.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

YES EXACTLY! I love Minecraft's sound design but there's way too much without sounds in this game or too much without unique sounds. also the entire sleeping and insomnia system is so bland, I had to take matters into my own hands to rework it but it's way more than just sounds

Familiar Additions - a Minecraft Mod @familiaradditions.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

I am so good at keeping track of development like I definitely totally write now development progress each update (HELP MEEEEEEE RAHHGGGHHHHHH) I have so much insane stuff to share but I don't know how. hamburger 🍕

Familiar Additions - a Minecraft Mod @familiaradditions.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

I have been making a LOT of sound types recently, many of which are for vanilla blocks, and I had the idea to give beds a custom soundtype but it resulted in something more: beds now play sounds for jumping, sleeping, and waking up. much fun #mcdev #minecraft #minecraftmod #gamedev
