Paladin Ryan – This Mod Reimagines Minecraft Indev in the BEST Way!

If you’ve never played Minecraft indev before,  which is the brief version between minecraft   classic and minecraft infdev, aka when the  world first became infinite, I highly recommend   you check it out, even for just 30 minutes or  something. It makes you appreciate what we have  

In the game today, but also is goofy and fun in  its own right. Or maybe you started in classic or   indev and want to relive some old nostalgia, let  this be your inspiration. Either way, maybe you  

Find you enjoy the limitations of indev more than  you thought you would. Now, what if I told you   you could relive those old days of discovery in  old minecraft? That feeling of finding something   new in the game for the first time? Introducing  Minecraft ReIndev, which completely overhauls,  

Improves, and reimagines minecraft indev,  adding tons of new features, blocks,   and items. It is basically what minecraft could  have become had Notch never strayed from the indev   style of the game. Now, ReIndev is actually a mod  for beta 1.7.3, which is kind of counterintuitive,  

But the reasoning is quite simple – beta 1.7.3 has  the most optimized engine for modding out of all   the old, pre-hunger and adventure update minecraft  versions, due to it having a better chunk loader,   better world saving, and being best equipped for  multiplayer servers. So, it’s indev, but loaded  

With the beta 1.7.3 engine. Vanilla minecraft  Indev is an extremely unstable buggy experience,   and modding it is kind of a nightmare, so it  just makes sense to do it this way. Anyway, let’s   go through a few of the major features of the  minecraft ReIndev mod and what makes it so great.

The mod honestly feels pretty subtle at first  until you start exploring. Which is the entire   philosophy of the whole thing – rediscovering  minecraft as if you were playing it for the   first time. You’ll start to notice little things  as you play, like achievements, the new flowers,  

Blueberry bushes, and the many biomes. (check  to see if the indev world limitations exist) And   then, the possibilities of the mod start  opening up to you as you play further. Now,   there’s so many changes and additions,  and it’s impossible to hit all of them,  

But I’m going to hit the most  interesting and major ones for the video. Firstly, there is just an astronomical amount  of new blocks. ReIndev adds a couple new types   of wood outside the oak-only variant of the time.  There’s firwood, which is a gray-ish wood that I  

Personally love the look of. And it adds crimson  wood, similar to minecraft today, and that’s in   the nether. We’ll get to the nether a little bit  later though. Anyway, with the plank changes,   there’s also SO many interior design updates.  You can make chairs out of wood. Glass and wood  

Tables. Colored bookshelves based on what wood  you use. It’s kind of funny how trivial these   decoration blocks are. Like, why haven’t we gotten  an interior design update in vanilla Minecraft?   I’m sick of the pressure plate tables man. The mod  also adds what it calls “fired bricks”, which are  

Made by smelting regular bricks, that retextures  them to replace the old incredibly bright brick   texture of indev. It adds basalt to the game,  which spawns deep in the overworld. Using basalt,   you can craft a forge, which is like a hyperspeed  furnace. One of my favorite parts is it even  

Features functioning beacons. There is no wither,  so instead of a wither star, they are crafted with   a diamond block. Pretty sweet honestly. Last thing  I’ll mention in this segment is that ReIndev adds  

All the dyes into the game. And the cool thing is  that with those dyes, you can do a whole bunch of   funky things – like dye wood planks, stained  glass, dye crates, or make Stucco, which looks   a lot like vanilla minecraft’s concrete. And  again, this is just a fraction of what’s added,  

So in the mod’s spirit of discovery, I’ll  leave some discovery to you, the viewer. Remember the old gear, which was Notch’s  planned version of redstone back in indev?   What if Minecraft never got rid of gears, and ran  with that system instead of switching to redstone?  

Well, ReIndev does just that. Gears are crafted  with iron ingots, and all the blocks and items   that normally use redstone in their recipes, like  compasses and clocks, use the gear item instead.   There are a few new blocks that replace redstone  functionality, like the motor block which is a  

Constant, toggleable power source, a NOT gate  block, a relay block, and the wait block, which   is basically the same as a redstone repeater.  It also utilizes pistons, which work the same   way as modern minecraft’s pistons. Oh, and using  gears, you can make one of the coolest items ever,  

The WRENCH. The wrench can ROTATE BLOCKS FOR  YOU. Like stairs for example. No need to break   and replace, just whack it with a wrench. It  can also reposition slabs. Anyway, for all you   redstone lovers out there, it’s definitely worth  checking out the gear system. It’s pretty fun.

But considering the mod is technically running  on beta 1.7.3, it was easy to add in. It   also features a ton of changes. ReIndev  adds fortresses back into this version,   and with them, the blazes we all know and hate.  Instead of magma cubes, there are magma creepers,  

Which are just f**king terrifying  dude. Like I mentioned earlier,   there are crimson trees kind of like today’s  minecraft scattered throughout the nether. You   can also find regular ores in the nether, and the  mod rewards its difficulty by doubling the amount  

Of ore spawns in the nether generation compared  to the normal overworld generation. Meaning you   can find diamonds twice as fast in the nether.  The mod really gives the nether more life and   gives you more of a reason to go there often,  while still maintaining that old minecraft feel.

If you start flying or building straight up,  you’ll notice the world height is much higher   than normal. If you start reaching y=500,  you’ll come across something incredible.   These are floating islands, that spawn only above  y=500. There are massive clouds you can walk on  

Made out of cloud blocks. Exploring further  leads you to grassy plateaus filled with fields   of flowers, the beautiful cherry tree, and crazy  mountains. And in the footage you probably noticed   these dragon type things flying around. These  are wyverns, a hostile mob that divebombs you and  

Shoots fireballs. I wish I could say the floating  islands are a nice paradise, but these things kind   of ruin that for everyone. Anyway though, these  are just another cool thing the mod gives you to   work toward in your world, because collecting 500  blocks without enchantments takes quite a while,  

Let alone having enough supplies once  you actually reach the floating islands. I don’t want to beat a dead horse too much,  but there really is SO much to this mod it’s   actually insane. I’ve left a link to the ReIndev  discord server below where you can access the  

Mod download and changelogs to read through  the features it has. There’s also a wiki,   although it’s pretty barebones and could use  some help populating the pages. Anyway though,   before we finish up here, I’d like to  go through just a couple more changes,  

Miscellaneous additions that I find to be notable.  The mod adds foxes, which are similar to foxes in   minecraft today. It is nice to have tameable foxes  back in this version though. One of my favorite   tool additions in ReIndev is molten tools, which  are crafted using a bucket of lava and a regular  

Iron tool. They have the same durability as iron,  but they function as if a furnace was a pickaxe.   So, if you break iron for example, it gives you  ingots. Using a molten shovel on sand will give  

You glass. Using a molten axe on wood will  give you coal. It’s super cool, and is just   yet another way the mod gives you something to  discover and work toward. This next one is random,   but if you throw tnt in the crafting menu, you  get 4 dynamite. Which is basically a snowball  

That explodes. Literally unlimited fun. The last  thing I’ll mention is the brewing system. Instead   of brewing stands, the mod adds cauldrons  back into this version, and handles brewing   from there. This is how I personally feel vanilla  minecraft should’ve done potions, since cauldrons  

Are pretty useless nowadays. It’s super fun adding  ingredients to the cauldron in ReIndev and seeing   what effects you can make. A full list of the  addable ingredients are available on the wiki,   and you can discover all the different  combinations using that list and testing it out.

Again, I didn’t even hit close to everything  in the mod, but I cannot recommend it enough if   you’re getting bored of vanilla minecraft, or you  want to go back to playing the older versions but   with some big twists. If you’ve played ReIndev  before, let me know in the comments below what
