Latest: Update v1.1.0 now Live!

Blue Depths 'Roaring Rivers Part 1: Beneath the Surface' Update Thumbnail

Roaring Rivers Part 1: Below the Surface

The first update to Blue Depths is now live: Roaring Rivers Part 1! Part 1: Below the Surface focuses on expanding the overall theme of Roaring Rivers, increasing biodiversity of the river biome, which was pretty lackluster before. The update focuses on not only adding new content, but also rebalancing, making technical changes, and fixing some bugs. I will be monitoring the feedback channels for any requested changes like spawn adjustments before working on part 2, so please leave any suggestions either on Planet Minecraft or the Google Forms!
