🌊 Raft World

Raft World is a NeoForge mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 that transforms the game into an ocean survival experience inspired by Raft.

After using /startraft, players are transported to a vast ocean world where floating debris becomes the primary source of resources, creating a unique survival loop centered around collection, expansion, and adaptation.

✨ Features

🌊 Endless Ocean Dimension

• Adds a custom dimension (raftworld:raft) made entirely of ocean.
• Players begin on a small wooden raft with minimal resources.
• No natural terrain or traditional resource generation.

📦 Floating Loot System

• Resources drift across the ocean surface, carried by simulated currents.
• Debris continuously appears around active players to keep exploration and collection engaging.

🌬️ Ocean Currents

• Floating items drift from east to west across the ocean surface.
• When players enter water, they are also affected by the same ocean current, subtly pushing them westward.
• Encourages players to position, build, and collect resources efficiently.
• Creates a gameplay loop inspired by drifting ocean debris.
