"Reimagining Minecraft, one line of code at a time."
Great Big World is a collection of mods packaged together with the goal of reimagining Minecraft under new design philosophies. It is a modern take on the "alternate timeline" genre most notably seen in Better Than Adventure and Not So Secret Saturday.
This mod is currently in BETA! Server-side issues have been resolved to a reasonable extent. Once the core gameplay features of the first phase are complete, the mod will enter Release.
Features
Currently, the mod provides quite a few features and changes to vanilla including, but very not limited to:
- Seasons
- Improved environment
- World start options
- Information HUD
- Relics
- Improved loot tables
- Missing/decorative blocks
- Vertical slabs
- Enchantment rework
- Removal of some Overworld features (will be back later!)

FAQ:
Great Big World is incompatible with X mod!
Yes. Great Big World is not designed for compatibility with most other content mods. Rather, it is designed as an entirely standalone experience. There are exceptions though: performance and optimization mods such as Sodium should be compatible. If you find an issue with them, please open an issue on the issue tracker!Can I use Great Big World in modpacks?
Probably not, but I'll consider it on a case-by-case basis. Please note that Great Big World has an ARR license, which does not allow redistribution (which includes using it in modpacks) with permission from me.
The issue with using GBW in modpacks relates to the above FAQ. There is no guarantee that GBW will be compatible with other content mods. If it were free to use in modpacks, I would be flooded with bug reports on compatibility issues that I've explicitly stated will not be fixed. If you wish to use GBW in a modpack, please contact me directly and I will make a decision. As a general guideline, if your pack is mostly QoL and optimization mods, GBW will be allowed. If it contains a large amount of other content mods, it will not.
