WILD WEST UPDATE for Minecraft

Review WILD WEST UPDATE

Wild West Update

It is a large-scale mod based on the vote of Minecraft fans that adds a lot of new content related to the Wild West to the game. Besides, it changes the meaning of the desert biomes by making them somehow connected to Ancient Egypt. The game world will now feature two new biomes, the updated environment, and a large number of new blocks.

Biomes

The mod adds two new biomes consisting almost entirely of new blocks to the game. The fertilized desert is something like an oasis, where sandstone blocks are covered with grass, palm trees grow around, and springs gush. The salt desert consists entirely of the snow-white saltstone.

Vegetation

The Minecraft flora will get a new tree species — the palm tree — along with dry yucca bushes, a new type of reed — papyrus — cotton, and aloe. The latter two plants cannot be grown but can only be found in the natural environment.

Blocks

The game will now feature quite a lot of stone types with different textures in a desert style. From them, you will be able to craft various building blocks. Besides, the palm wood can be processed and used to create all the vanilla blocks.

From the new sand blocks, you will be able to make the new crystal glass and then process it to draw a pattern or convert it into glass panes.

Dungeon

In the desert, you will now be able to come across not only vanilla but also new pyramids added by the mod. Near the pyramids, you will see their eternal guards, namely sphinxes. The latter are quite imbalanced, as they contain a lot of gold and diamond blocks and also hide special treasure chests — sarcophaguses.

The latter cannot be opened just like that: to look inside them, you will need special scarabs of the same color. Moreover, a scarab breaks after a single use, and you will need a new key for another chest. Even so, it is worth it, as the sarcophaguses hide a lot of valuable loot.

However, if you have no desire to bother yourself with the keys, you will be able to simply break a sarcophagus with any pickaxe of a class not lower than that of it. The netherite and diamond pickaxe will break any of them.

Armor, Weapons, and Artifacts

More precisely, one armor, one dagger, and one amulet.

The armor is crafted from papyrus fabric, which in turn is made from cotton and papyrus. Its characteristics are not that high and approximately equal to the iron one. However, its durability is slightly lower.

The dagger has 6.6 damage points and an attack speed of 3. It is small but very quick. To craft it, you will need the pharaoh fragments.

The amulet is also crafted from the pharaoh fragments. It is quite expensive, but once you get it into your inventory, you will enjoy the constant Regeneration II effect and be able not to be afraid of mummies anymore.

Mob

The mod adds only one mob, which is very Egyptian — the mummy. It is quite a weak but aggressive opponent, completely similar to the vanilla zombie in terms of characteristics and loot. We can even reasonably suppose that it is it, but it is quite difficult to discern that given all those bandages.
