DayOfMind: Explore, Build, and Thrive Together!
Version Note: This description pertains to Minecraft version 1.21.4. As the availability and feature set of individual mods can vary between different major Minecraft versions, content and features in future or past versions of the DayOfMind modpack for other Minecraft versions may differ.
💡 Advanced Tip: Managing Worlds Across Major Updates
The world generation in DayOfMind is extensive and may receive significant updates between major versions of the modpack. If you're an advanced user looking to:
* Smooth out chunk borders after an update, * Merge parts of an old world into a new one, or * Perform other advanced chunk operations,
the MCA Selector tool can be very powerful. This is an external tool and its usage is optional, intended for specific scenarios.
You can find a helpful tutorial on how to use MCA Selector here: * Video Tutorial: Video Tutorial:
Please ensure you back up your worlds before attempting any advanced modifications!
