Jet's Better Exploration v1.0.0 (1.20.4)
🕑 Added 2024-06-13 14:53:51 +0000 UTCJet's Better Exploration strives to tweak and improve all things... well... exploration.
If you just want the mod and don't care about all this boring changelog stuff, just scroll down to the bottom of the page and the download should be right there.
Minecart acceleration logic adapted from Audaki's Cart Engine. Please check out their work too: https://github.com/audaki/minecraft-cart-engine
If you did stick around, congratulations; you're one of the only members of my audience that can read for more than 8 seconds. Here's all the changes we've made in this mod:
Ancient Cities
Ancient Cities, as we all know, are useless as hell. But here are a couple changes we made to make them better:
Ancient Explorer Map
Leads directly to the location of an Ancient City, similarly to other explorer maps
Obtained from Cartographer Villagers as a master level trade (2/3 chance)
Trade will only become possible to obtain after the Ender Dragon has been defeated
Spawn Rate
Ancient Cities now spawn 2x less often
Sculk Vial
Can store up to 1395 Experience Points (30 levels)
Shift right-click to store all available experience
Drink to instantly obtain all stored experience
Crafted with seven echo shards
Loot Table
The Ancient City's Loot Table has been updated to include ALL types of diamond armor/tools, not just pants
Seriously why did they make it just pants? smh
Woodland Mansions
Remember these things? No? Exactly. They suck. Here’s what we did to fix that:
Spawn Rates
Woodland Mansions now spawn 3x more often
You’re welcome
Recovery Compass
The Recovery Compass is now exclusively found in Woodland Mansions (you will find approximately 0-2 per mansion)
Its texture has been updated to fit this (this texture sucks if you know how to make textures please reach out I need help)
Its crafting recipe has been removed
Biomes
Remember the last time you were excited to discover a jungle? Yeah, it was probably over a decade ago. Hopefully, these tweaks will fix that:
Biome Diversification
Biomes can now have different properties when it comes to ore spawning, crop growth, and librarian book trades.
For example, the Jungle now has more diamonds than usual, faster crop growth for Melons, Bamboo, and Cocoa Beans, and more of a chance of unlocking Unbreaking, Feather Falling, Projectile Protection, or Power books from a librarian
Specialized attributes like this exist for almost every biome in the game. Here’s the full documentation:
These changes are meant to give more incentive for players to settle in different biomes; maybe you build a farm in one, or mine in another. Either way, it gets you out and about and not holed up in your stupid-ass wooden plains house.
Transportation
Everyone loves minecarts–but nobody uses them. Why? Because transportation is fucked. Like, seriously fucked. But I’m gonna try to fix it anyway:
Minecarts
Regular Minecarts now go 1.5x faster (12m/s)
Rails
Crafting recipe now gives 24 rails, up from 16
Powered Rails
Crafting recipe has been changed to require copper instead of gold
Texture has been updated accordingly
Super Powered Rails
Delivers 1.5x more minecart propulsion than normal powered rails (18m/s)
Crafted with the vanilla powered rails recipe (gold)
Horses
Horses now have a sprinting mechanic
While sprinting, horses go 10% faster than their vanilla spee
Horses can only sprint for a set amount of time before they become exhausted
While exhausted, horses go 40% slower than their vanilla speed
Horses can sprint for a max of 20 seconds
The stamina bar takes 20 seconds to fully recharge
Horse Gamerules
Added several gamerules to adjust the horse sprinting mechanic:
horseStaminaTicks: adjusts the amount of ticks horses are allowed to sprint before becoming exhausted
horseStaminaRegenTicks: adjusts the amount of ticks to add back to the stamina bar per tick of not sprinting
horseSprintBuff: adjusts the percentage of movement speed to add when the horse is sprinting
horseSprintDebuff: adjusts the percentage of movement speed to remove when the horse becomes exhausted
Horse Armor
Horse armor now has durability
Horse armor is now enchantable
Horse Armor Enchantments include Protection, Fire Protection, Projectile Protection, Blast Protection, Unbreaking, Thorns, Respiration, Frost Walker, Feather Falling, Depth Strider, and Soul Speed
Striders
Striders no longer get cold when they are outside of lava in the Nether
They will now only get cold in the Overworld/End (unless they are in lava)
Striders now spawn on land in the Nether
Boats
Boats no longer move quickly on ice (fuck you)
Can be changed via the gamerule allowIceBoatSpeed
Ice
All forms of ice blocks now melt when placed in the nether
Say goodbye to your nether highway dumbass
And that's about it for what the mod adds. This is the first one I've ever made, so feedback is greatly appreciated (I have no idea what I am doing). Head over to my Discord server and check out the patron lounge to submit feedback, report bugs, or get any questions you may have answered.
The minecart speed changes are only possible thanks to the great work of the Audaki Cart Engine mod! The creator has allowed us to use parts of its code for our mod, which we wouldn't have been able to make without them.
Like I said at the beginning, the download for the mod should be right below this post. Thank you again so so much for supporting the channel, hopefully this (and the future mods I plan to make) will be worth it. seeya :))

Maybe it's because I don't use minecraft mods often, but for some reason when using optifine/optifabric with your mod, the game gets stuck on the mojang logo.
The Gamer Mammot
you actually can use curseforge, the way you're gonna do that is by going into the modpack settings, opening the file, and just dropping the mod into the mods folder, and that should work
Drew Desharnais
How do I download and use this? I am new to pc so I really dont know what im doing here especially since I cant just use curseforge
Smuko_gato
When will this be updated to 1.21?
JetStarfish
have you downloaded fabric mod loader for the correct version?
JetStarfish
unfortunately there are no plans to bring the mod to forge or neoforge as of yet.
hamstertubekeeg
very cool, starfish
FrostySlug
so glad it's in fabric, i woulda demanded a refund <3
Western
If you will add this to forge, would it be possible to add it to NEO Forge? I see some people have got it to work on Fabric, is that the only loader you will support?
notkotn
mine only says that its compatible for forge...?
JetStarfish
that's strange. could you join my discord server and fill out a bug ticket? it should be in the patron lounge.
JetStarfish
download fabric for 1.20.4, then put both this mod and fabric api for 1.20.4 in your mods folder. there are great tutorials on youtube if you have any trouble!
JetStarfish
Both 1.20.1 and 1.21 support is currently planned!
JetStarfish
Both 1.20.1 and 1.21 support is currently planned!
JetStarfish
Both 1.20.1 and 1.21 support is currently planned!
JetStarfish
1.21 support is currently planned, we'll get to work on it soon.
cameron brophy
how do i get it to work (how do i install it)
Ikarius
i think the lack of negative traits could just change barely the gameplay as you go to other place, grab that, and then come back to your base. Also for some realism that snowy places and mountains is very difficult to grow crops or the heat of the savanna or badlands only for wheat and other but normal for potatoes. Same for the minerals
Evan Hubinger
Any chance you'd be able to make a version for 1.20.1?
Nicholas Rodriguez
please update to 1.21
Poi Anims
Hey I've been using this mod and it's been smooth sailing, but for some odd reason horses do not have a stamina bar when I make them sprint.
Jesse Brol
Is an earlier, 1.20.1 version of this possible? Would love to play this with farmers delight and other unupdated mods :D
Jesse Brol
Figure out how to get fabric installed for 1.20.4, great videos on this on YouTube for example. Then search for your minecraft directory (you can type in windows search bar %appdata%, press enter, then open .minecraft folder). Place this mod in the mods folder and then launch the fabric 1.20.4 game profile/version in the minecraft launcher, and bam! If any errors or failings, make sure you have Java JDK installed, latest version on java site. If you want to have a really easy fabric install with shaders capability, look up iris universal installer, download that and install it with install fabric checked.
sofus jorgensen
i have the same issue/question
Paili O'Neill
how to i launch the mod?
ReconnectRyan
when 1.21
JesterCat
Works now. Thanks!
JetStarfish
what version are you running on? do you have fabric api installed?
JesterCat
Running into a bug trying to run the .jar file. Getting a "no main manifest attribute" error. Could I get some help?
JetStarfish
I'll definitely add that to the ideas folder, something for us to consider in a future update!
JetStarfish
unfortunately we have no plans to port it to forge at the moment.
JetStarfish
a 1.20.1 version is planned! as well as 1.21
JetStarfish
unfortunately we're not planning on downgrading past 1.20. a 1.20.1 version is planned, though. you should be able to use it with modpacks, but no promises with things like compatibility.
Boneless Chicken
will there be a forge version of this mod?
SimplySora
Would love a 1.20.1 version of this
Grayson Brandon
This is awesome, although I dont often play on version further than 1.19.2, is it also possible to put this mod in an already existing modpack? Like a curseforge one?
familli craft
can you make stamina a trait you can improuve by selectively breading the horses? please🙏🙏🙏
JetStarfish
this mod will eventually be public! we're still deciding on how we want to do it, but at some point it will be free to access. we plan on updating it in the future, but not downgrading to other versions unfortunately. I'm glad you enjoyed the video man, ty!
Jonah Silman
Do you have any plans for this mod to become open to the public and support different versions to be included in mod packs? I loved your video about Minecraft’s exploration aspect and am really looking forward to the next upload about the end
