Welcome to Ancient Shores! I've been working on this for a long time, since Dec 20th 2019 to be exact.

In this game you can explore, cook, fight, basically a poor man's BOTW.
And yes, the fog seen in the screen shots are 100% vanilla.

everything seen in this project is made without world edit.

world edit was only used to change biome. Wurst was used to help speed build, fly at faster speeds, binds allowing quick game mode switches, etc.

/!\ Do not try playing this with Optifine or Sodium, trust me I tried it's not worth it./!\
using either of these mods will cause Fog to not work, sodium will cause the game to crash!

I know, Kinda click bait for the thumbnail. But at least it looks cool! :D

Also, it's not recommended you play this on a low-end computer. It works, but try to get something more powerful than a 2011 Mac book air.

ABOUT
This is a dungeon and exploration game. Played in [​1.20]
Very similar in play style to Zelda BOTW.
You must find the Temple of Notch and unite the eyes in it.

Explore the world to find temples, villages, shops, food, outposts, caves and more!

Each area also has music.
specially chosen to fit its theme.
The over world will always play Minecraft’s music with outside sounds playing.



dungeons will have their own music.

Cooking
There's a custom cooking system.
Toss the required items into a cauldron and see the results.

Do not spam items however, you're only supposed to cook one thing at a time. Expect glitches if you attempt to speed run it.


Bread can be cooked by tossing ONE egg and ONE wheat into the cauldron.

Press L to see your recipe book. This is an advancement chart that shows all the things you can make.

Food works differently in this game.
there is no hunger bar, it’s like ye olden Minecraft where food goes straight to your health bar. There is still a cool down however.



Some food restores more health than others.
Bread only restores 2 HP where as a Grilled Sandwich restores 4.

Dungeons
Each Dungeon contains one eye of ender. These is used to open the End Portal.

note that not every structure has one.
some might just contain a helpful item or two.

Make sure to look closely, and think carefully. Some switches may not be obvious at first glance.
Some dungeons are more puzzle oriented and others are combat oriented.

Fair warning: These dungeons can be cryptic at times, so try to be very observant.


SETTINGS

Keep render distance above 8. (Can be more, 8 is the minimum.)
Load resource pack before opening the world.

NO MODS ARE NEEDED TO PLAY THIS.
in fact, it’s recommended you play straight vanilla.


MUSIC

all music used in the map can be found here:

Side note: Repeating command blocks are still extremely broken in Minecraft period, so don’t be surprised if you end up encountering a bug or get stuck.
there’s nothing I can do about it, these command blocks are just going to keep dying no matter how many times I restart them. Until Mojang fixes this, this map will be buggy.
