1.18.2 a new era unfolds.

‍

Conquest Reforged 1.18.2 is now in open beta. This release brings quite a few new blocks and decorational models, while also addressing Minecraft’s ever changing lighting for leaves and plants with updates to those textures to reel them back to their intended appearance. 

‍

Conquest Reforged for 1.17 is also released. It will remain in “beta” status and won’t be updated in the future as it should simply serve as a bridge between 1.16 and 1.18.

‍

Like the previous update, this doesn’t require a converter. However, for best results in updating your maps, you should first enter your 1.16 world in 1.17 and then 1.18 with Conquest Reforged installed. Doing otherwise and going straight to 1.18 can result in issues such as paintings completely disappearing.

We’re also releasing the first iteration of Conquest's Medieval Armors and Weapons. This brings all the medieval themed weapons, shields, and armors from Conquest to a mod separate from the main Conquest Reforged mod. This mod also features the 3d “pumpkin” helmets from Conquest as actual working helmets that offer protection. The armor models for all modded armors have been altered as well to be less bulky (ie: they don’t clip through one another anymore) and more realistic. 

‍

Everything should be craftable in survival through a new crafting table called the “Arms Station”, which is similar to the stonecutter but preserves durability and enchantments. It also offers extended and reduced weapon reach for certain weapons, such as spears and daggers. More mechanics like this may come in the future.

‍

This will be labeled as “beta” as specific mechanics are subject to change. The goal of this first release is to begin making Conquest’s armors available to you all without being forced to use the vanilla resource-pack. 

‍

We plan on releasing the remainder of the armors and weapons in separate themed mods (eg: Fantasy, Ancient, Asian). We’re making them separate from each other and the main mod to reduce issues when updating if a certain mechanic breaks, give players more freedom to choose what they want to play with – or what their machine is able to play with – and to avoid creating a massive “kitchen sink” mod.

‍

We look forward to seeing what you build with Minecraft’s expanded height limit and how you like the weapons and armors!!
