Conquest Reforged 1.16.5 finally in beta!

Conquest Reforged 1.16.5 is now in beta. This release primarily brings what was implemented in 1.15.2 forward a version with a few more additions, so your builds are unlikely to be impacted or outdated in the way that the 1.15 release rendered everything from 1.12. Not many issues have come up during the alpha, so we expect the beta to play fairly smoothly. In any case, with so many more people actively playing the mod in a public release we expect some things to come up, so we encourage everyone to post reports bugs at https://github.com/Conquest-Reforged/ConquestReforged. This will allow us to track and fix them accordingly.

This update doesn't require a converter, as we've seen 1.15.2 worlds open up in 1.16.5 seamlessly. However, we strongly recommended you make a backup of your world in 1.15.2 before opening it in 1.16.5. With the complexity of Minecraft and various combinations of mods you can have, you never know if something can go wrong.

1.17 development has started and is progressing well. The mod can now successful compile and run in 1.17, and it looks to be mostly playable, so it should be going into alpha on that version sometime soon.

Welcome to the 1.15.2 Century

The moment we have all been anxiously waiting for is finally here.

We’re bringing Conquest Reforged 1.15.2 out of beta and into an official release! Fortunately, beta for Conquest Reforged has been rather stable, with the most troublesome issues being related to third-party mods conflicting with other third-party mods (eg: Journeymap vs Optifine chunk shenanigans). As such, all the bugs, mostly minor visual ones, that were reported on Github have been fixed, and a few additions have been made. Overall, not much has changed, and all the blocks from the beta remain intact.

There’s also an update for the Conquest Reforged 1.16.5 alpha. Additions and fixes from the 1.15 release have been merged into the 1.16 version, and the 1.16-specific  issues that have been reported thus far have been fixed and resolved. Generally, the alpha seems fairly stable, so I think it’s safe to say it’ll be coming out of alpha in time for or before SpongeForge’s much awaited 1.16 release. 

On the team, we’ve been pretty busy in real life, so that’s slowed down development and this release significantly. Most of us have been working, and I’ve been pretty sick for the last few months. Nevertheless, we’re getting back into the swing of things and making progress once again. Along with the 1.15 and 1.16 update, the converter has seen a few fixes for 1.12-1.15. Right now  we’re actively working on a major facelift for the website to hopefully make it a more useful place for the community. So far, we’ve scrapped the old media page and replaced it with a curated Showcases page, where we show off and save some of the best Conquest Reforged builds. The header and footer have been replaced as well to be more in line with the Conquest aesthetic. Elsewhere throughout the site, pages are being edited to be more clear and informative. As for 1.17 on the horizon, my brief foray into the new version shows that it could be tricky due to a few factors, such as ForgeGradle updating and most of all Mojang reshuffling or renaming almost all of their files (again). Even so, it should not be anywhere near as time-consuming as the 1.15 update. 

Note: If you’ve been using the launcher, you’ll need to go to the resourcepacks interface in-game and enable the latest resourcepack. We opted not to override the settings for which resourcepacks are loaded so that your own settings aren’t forcibly overridden.
