New Release: 1.6.3 for Minecraft 1.16.5

 I just uploaded a new version of The Ultimate Unicorn Mod to CurseForge.

This version adds a "stay" command button to the magical horse inventory screen, so your horse won't wander away when you dismount, and fixes a few problems.

You can go grab the new version on CurseForge!

You can see what else is new in the mod on the What's New Page.

Also: I'm starting back up development for Minecraft versions 1.18 and above. Wish me luck! :)

New Release: 1.6.2 for Minecraft 1.16.5!

Last night I published a new release of the Ultimate Unicorn Mod - 1.6.2! This version fixes some crash bugs, an inventory bug, makes Kirin fire breath work properly again, and let's you fine-tune how often your magical horses spawn.

1.17 Progress

I'm making steady progress on the new 1.17 version of the mod. I've gotten the new object registration code pieces worked out, and I'm working on those magical horse models.

For now I've commented out some of what used to be called "Tile Entities" but are now "Block Entities." This includes things like the Oracle and Tree Holes. Depending on how hard those are to change over, I may put them out after I get the main feature (the magical horses) done.

After looking deeper at the official Forge migration guide, it seems like there are some pretty cool new things going on under the hood, like some new rendering capabilities, new graphical user interface options, and new a complete fluid overhaul. I don't know how I'll make use of any of these new capabilities, but there could be some fun opportunities there.

One of the things I look forward to after getting this done is updating the horse speech interface. Right now in 1.16.5 it works fine, but there really should be some extra bells and whistles, like actual inventory-style trading boxes and such.

Anyway, I'll keep on working, and hopefully I can get this new version out soon!

Thanks for your patience!

1.17.1 Version Coming Soon (and other things)!

Now that Minecraft Forge is out for 1.17.1, I'm working on the Ultimate Unicorn Mod port for that version of Minecraft. Development is progressing, and I'm hoping to have the new version out this month.

Other than that, I'm working on fixing some bugs that my kind and helpful users posted on the Discord server.

I'm also expanding the story of The Oracle Quest! I hope you've enjoyed talking to the horses so far, and that you're as excited for the rest of the story as I am.

As I get into the story, I've been thinking as well about how I might improve the way you talk to and interact with magical horses. As you likely know, the system in place allows horses to see and interact with items you hold in your hand. I'm considering changing that up a bit, and making actual interface inventory boxes that you can use, like when you are trading with villagers. I'm still figuring out how exactly I want to improve this part, and if I want to do anything beyond the obvious.

Anyway, I hope you are still enjoying the mod! If you have any questions or just want to chat, feel free to drop by the Discord Server!
