As I made my way through the forest I passed a lake which I suspected was now potentially toxic with algae. If i drink this water I could become very sick.

I look at the trees around me once green and vibrant ..... but months of little rain has left much of the forest brown and dry.

As you walk through this mod you will see the leaves, grass, trees and even flowers are dry and in need of water. Such was the climate during prehistoric times as dry conditions covered most of the planets.

With these changes to the mod it is now harder to find apple, lemon and cherry trees as the fruit on the trees are now less obvious and you will not be able to spot these trees from a distance.

With my gameplay I have added in the idea that not all water is drinkable and that if you can drink the water you need to throw one dice and roll either a 5 or a 6. As yoiu can see this means that 67% of the lakes you come across will have toxic water you cannot drink.

This is how I decide if water can be drinkable . If I drink water that may be toxic then I throw another dice . If the results are 1 to 4 then the water has made me ill. if this happens I then have to not eat or drink until I lose 50% of my health.

Note that the developer has announced the following earlier this year:

"Diseases are planned, and in combination with that water purification is also planned (and ofc ways to cure a disease) But probably that will only be implemented after the new playermodels and items"

My mod has Rising World in prehistoric times where much of the world is experiencing dry conditions and the plants are browner and not as green and bright as they are today.

Back in the old prehistoric days water was generally not blue and was a more greenish color due to rapidly growing algae which covered the surface of not only lakes and rivers but also seas and oceans.

When the Great Asteroid struck the Earth half a million years ago, the green algae was destroyed by the lack of light after dust and rocks were thrown into the atmosphere and over the next half million years blue water eventually covered the Earth.

When the T-rex went down to the water holes to find water Rex never found blue water...back then water was covered in green algae and was not the best to drink.

This is not the final version with some more changes to the color of the water likely after more testing.

New waters edge with mixture of mud and dry twigs, branches and grass instead of gravel.

The dry twigs shown in last 2 pictures may be added as a separate part of the mod where there will be different options for the type of biome you intend to setup your camp in.

For example, the dry twigs would be best used where you are camping in a forest type biome.

If you are in a grass biome, the paths and clearings would be more grass with random leaves etc

Snow biomes would of course be snow paths while there is also an option for dirt tracks etc

Hopefully this fire keeps bears away..........

The sleeping pig........

The deer are the hard ones to take pictures of as they keep on running away....however I managed to get this quick shot from a distance.

Version 2 of the Giraffe ...... still a little tweaking to do.

This picture may be a little boar-ing to look at

Look at those teeth.... those could open up an artery or two!

Wow! This is really awesome! I love it for the better looking night sky alone. Regarding the NPCs and custom tree textures, did you find a way to override in the API or does your mod require modifying jar files? Hopefully the API will make it easy to add custom NPCs that extend or override the built-in variants.

At this stage I am changing the textures but I am looking for options using the API.
Below is a better view of my new night sky.

All animals in my mod have been completed with the pig and sheep below shown as an example....

Version 4 Sheep...... anyone for some wool?

Version 4 of the animals have been completed to today.....

Latest version of the pig

A wild Auroch from stone age times which was the early descendant of todays domestic cows.

This is only version 1 of the Auroch.

The pumpkins shown 2 pictures back have been updated to version 2 with a new color which makes them easier to see with torchlight.

Back in the stone age pumpkins were not the traditional round orange upright fruit we think of today when you hear the word pumpkin and were different looking way back then.

I completed work on the new look for the pig which is now at version 2.

Improved the details around the eyes and the matted fur is now a higher resolution than it was in version 1.

So why is the pig no longer pink?

Humans began raising sheep, pigs, goats and cows for food around 10,000 years ago which changed the way these domesticated animals appeared and the thousands of years of breeding has resulted in todays domesticated animals being far different from what the looked like a million years ago.

Therefore the sheep, pigs, goats, chickens,etc are different in this mod to how they look in 2017 and this also applies to the wild animals who have also changed appearance over the years.

Version 2 of the domestic pig is now showing in the prior post with an updated picture.
