Generation adds hornfels in the mountains as a new stone block, there is also a new sub-biome called Lush Desert which adds palm trees and oases, additionally, the deserts have sandstone in place of normal stone and have variants of sandstone for the ores. In the swamp biome, the old trees are replaced with new mangrove trees. Lastly, you will find custom structures that are placed throughout the world.

There are 22 new mobs including a New Boss mob called the Cursed Blaze. Many of these mobs may add ambiance to the biomes or make the biome more livable, they may even help you craft some powerful items!

Two mobs will help you make new sets called the Elk Helmet and the Hound Skull, but what do they do?
The Boss Mob is called the Cursed Blaze, it has two phases, it isn't as strong as a wither, and is a mob you would probably face after you find your first diamonds. It can fly, shoot projectiles, and use its shield-like legs to stop bow spam and summon soul hounds.

And that's the Almost Vanilla addon, but what about the Future? Almost Vanilla will still be updated in the future but now only on Java Edition Join the Discord to stay up to date on progress.
