Legacies and Legends

_Made as part of Legacies, with the aim of reimagining the core principles of vanilla Minecraft. Explore, adventure and survive in an all-new world. If you like Legacies and Legends, I highly recommend you check out Legacies!_

My design process, as an example, wasn't to show you what's on the other side of the Ancient City portal, or what else is out there in the End, or even to explain the past - it's to make you wonder what could be, such as vanilla's open-ended lore, only expanded.

Legacies and Legends is, finally, a soundtrack expansion, the first of its kind in this sense. It also adds new items, structures and lore - and ultimately will enrich your playthroughs or even modpacks without changing the core experience.

The entirety of Legacies and Legends is configurable via in-game GUI or json5.

Atmospheric Soundtrack Overhaul

Legacies and Legends introduces several new tracks to the game, all thematic to their locations and carefully selected to ensure they blend perfectly with vanilla.

_Several new songs (including some left-out ones from the official soundtracks) are added to the game's base soundtrack for various biomes, as well as a bonus track for when you light the end portal. This includes new biome-specific music pools such as for Dark Forests, Savannas & snowy biomes. These tracks are considerately weighted to ensure vanilla and C418 music still get their chances to shine. Special thanks to Firel for composing Only the Beginning as a new end track for this mod!_

_Additionally, Legacies and Legends features configurable structure-specific music for Strongholds & Ancient Cities._

Loot Table Reworks

Summary

• expanded fishing loot
• new enchantments
• Sapphire & Wands
• vanilla discs previously only obtainable from creepers now have their own structures (vanilla or new) which they may rarely spawn in
• rebalanced loot tables
• enchanted beetroot
• 7 new discs and 4 new sherds
• hooks, knives... and boomerangs!
• tablets and artifacts (more detail on these further below)
• much, much more - it's best you play Legacies and Legends for yourself in order to truly experience the breadth of improvements made

_Most structures have seen their loot tables reworked or rebalanced in a vanilla-like fashion - for example, End Cities are mostly untouched, but a Jungle Temple has a few additional items in addition to the chests containing more overall items on average than vanilla. In other cases, you may find entirely new items to the loot tables, such as the enchanted stone tools that can be found rarely in underwater ruins. Regardless the structure, there's a good chance it's seen some changes, anywhere from a slight tweak to a complete overhaul._

_I haven't just used existing loot in these updated loot tables, however. I've taken some inspiration from Minecraft's early days - filled with random new features and items that often had no reason to exist, but did anyway. There are a few other small items that provide an enriched loot experience._

• Trident Shards | dropped from Elder Guardians, used to craft or repair Tridents
• Metal Chunks | found from fishing and world loot, used to repair certain items or smelted into iron nuggets
• Wooden Buckets | found from fishing and world loot, crafted into Coal or Charcoal buckets to make a great fuel source
• Hooks | found from fishing and world loot, a slow but heavy-hitting melee weapon with the exclusive Shatter enchantment
• Knives | found from Trail Ruins archaeology, Knives deal low damage but strike fast. They have Striking as an exclusive enchantment
• Boomerangs | arguably the most unique new weapon, with 4 exclusive enchantments. Found in Dungeons, Boomerangs travel far and spin fast - the longer they fly, the more damage they do. Whilst you'll have to find most of their enchantments in the world, they can get Rebound from the enchanting table, and also work with Flame, Freeze, Decay, Rejuvenate and Featherweight

Sapphire

_Sapphire is a new, incredibly rare gem ore which is never exposed to air (though it may be exposed to water). It can be used to craft Wands & Tablets_

• Sapphire
• Sapphire Ore
• Deepslate Sapphire Ore
• Sapphire Block
• Sapphire Lantern
• Wand (creates a temporary floating platform at will, which blocks fall damage & can be used for both effective traversal and building)
• used to craft tablets (more on them below)

Music Discs

• Svall (Mineshafts)
• Taswell (Deep Ruins)
• Tundra (Igloos)
• Infinite Spooky Amethyst (Pale Cabins)
• Shulker (End Cities)
• Far Lands (crafted from disc fragments scattered throughout select overworld structures)
• Castles (found in the overhauled Dungeons - specifically the standard simple / cobblestone variant)
• 113 (End Ruins)
• Gravel (Underground Cabins)

Pottery Sherds

• Dusk and Harvest - found from Obelisks
