LostLuma / Luma-Mode

Luma Mode

Changes to survival Minecraft to turn it into a more fun experience for myself.
This is achieved through a combination of feature forward-ports and small server-side changes.

Luma Mode has two primary purposes for my playthrough:

• Add some additional difficulty to Minecraft
• Remove any non-player interactions which permanently remove blocks and/or entities

Since I do not expect usage of this mod there are no releases or further documentation at this time.

Changes

For Minecraft 1.3:

• Enderman griefing is disabled
• Fire from lightning no longer destroys blocks
• Set difficulty to hard by default
• Disable spawn protection
  • There's no vanilla option for this yet
• Beds have functionality removed, are decoration instead:
  • No longer allow skipping the night
  • No longer change the player's spawn point
• Players can not accidentally destroy blocks with weapons during combat

For Minecraft 1.4:

• Disable natural regeneration (Enable UHC mode from 1.6)
  • Players will have to set up beacons for permanent health regeneration
• Sheep don't eat and thus permanently remove tall grass
• Animals can no longer be damaged / killed by lightning
• Wolves and Ocelots no longer target other passive mobs
  • I do not enjoy this mechanic and would rather see more passive mobs around
• Nether Wart grows at a third of its regular speed in non-Nether dimensions
  • Gives more reasons to build things in the Nether
  • Pre 1.3 they didn't grow in non-Nether dimensions, this way they can be built with

Future Ideas

For Minecraft 1.5:

• Prevent sprinting up stairs
• Make beacons use up potions to give out effects
  • Length scales based on pyramid size and material
  • Requires making Haste and Resistance potions craftable
  • This can now be automated, and should be a fun challenge

For Minecraft 1.6:

• Set naturalRegeneration rule to false by default
  • Supersedes manual implementation of UHC mode

For Minecraft 1.8:

• Re-add void fog for nicer cave atmosphere
  • Maybe make it less potent if the area is lit up
• Endermite stop attracting Endermen after some time
  • Endermen farms being no effort is pretty lame ...

For Minecraft 1.9:

• Disallow shield usage in offhand
  • Maybe make shield usage percentage based (?)
• Mending allows no repair cost increasing anvil repairs
  • Replacing mining entirely with an enchant is overpowered
• Set disableElytraMovementCheck rule to true by default
  • This has a pretty big false positive rate when gliding

For Minecraft 1.11:

• Remove firework rocket boosting for elytra
  • Add fire / lava updraft boosting instead, similarly to legacy console edition

For Minecraft 1.12:

• Set doLimitedCrafting rule to true by default
• Re-add achievements that were not added as advancements

For Minecraft 1.13:

• Add built-in anti ender grief datapack
  • Supersedes manual implementation of anti ender grief
• Remove fast boat sliding on ice variants
  • This makes other methods of transportation redundant
• Re-add all-sided pistons, and similar weird blocks
  • These can exist in legitimate worlds, useful decoration

For Minecraft 1.16:

• Throw invisibility potion to turn item frame invisible

For Minecraft 1.17:

• Set playersSleepingPercentage rule to 101 by default
  • Supersedes manual implementation of sleep blocking

For Minecraft 1.18:

• Revert to previous cave generation
  • Huge open caverns are not actually fun to explore :(
