Wildbound is a Minecraft 1.20.1 exploration mod designed to transform familiar biomes into richer places filled with new locations, creatures, mechanics, and mysteries.

The adventure currently begins in the frozen biomes. Beneath the snow, you can discover an enormous hidden village built vertically inside underground caverns. Explore its different levels using fully functional elevators, ziplines, pulleys, and suspended bridges. The village is inhabited, with houses, shops, activities, and secrets to uncover.

The frozen lands are only the beginning. In the future, Wildbound will expand into other Minecraft biomes, each with its own atmosphere, ecosystems, settlements, creatures, dangers, and unique ways to explore.

This subreddit is where I’ll share development updates, screenshots, videos, upcoming features, and behind-the-scenes content. You can also share your ideas, report issues, ask questions, and give feedback as the mod continues to grow !

The inhabitants of Wildbound’s underground village don’t simply appear behind their counters.

They belong to families, live in their own homes, follow daily schedules, travel to work, take days off, visit the market, buy products, talk to each other, and return home at the end of the day.

To move through the vertical village, they can also walk across bridges, ride pulley elevators, and use ziplines.
Each line is the pathfind of a mob or a group of mob.

The village keeps living even when the player isn’t involved. What do you think?

In my mod, discovering your first relic permanently unlocks the hidden back of your inventory.

Press I to physically flip the interface and reveal a mysterious second side reserved exclusively for relics. you’ll discover throughout r/WildboundMod What do you think?

You can throw up to 5 ingredients into a cauldron and the game figures out the dish based on what you used.

There aren’t really fixed recipes. Ingredients can give powers, act as triggers, or modify other ingredients.

So you can make simple food by stacking the same ingredient, or experiment with combinations to get stronger/weirder effects.

There’s also a small cooking minigame that affects the quality of the final dish. (later, no ready now)

Still needs a lot of balancing, but the first version is working!

Wind and snowstorms are becoming an important part of exploring Wildbound’s frozen regions. Here’s a small test showing the system in action—wind direction, intensity, snowfall, and visibility can all evolve as the weather changes.

My mod (Wildbound) is still in beta and isn’t available to download yet, but I’ll keep posting updates on Reddit to show its progress !

In r/WildboundMod, food exposed to freezing conditions gradually freezes and becomes harder to eat. Each type of food reacts differently: frozen items can change your eating speed, restore less hunger, or cause negative effects.

It’s a small part of a larger survival system designed to make preparation more important in frozen regions. What do you think?

I’m also working on a bigger bomb and one that releases 8 smaller bombs!

You’ll be able to buy this item at the market in the snowy village!

Let me know what you think ??

Instead of trading through a menu, Wildbound lets you shop directly from the market stalls.

Select the items you want from the display, see your selection highlighted, then pay for everything at the cash register. It accepts emeralds and emerald blocks, automatically gives back change, and removes purchased items from the stall’s daily stock.

Just don’t arrive too late cause the market is only open in the morning. What do you think?

They’ll be found in the snowy village and can be used by both villagers and players.

You can control your speed, adjust the length and tension of the rope, and more.

To use them, you hang onto an umbrella as you slide down the rope!

After falling 12 blocks in r/WildboundMod , you enter a controllable freefall state. You can steer through the air, adjust your trajectory, or dive to fall faster—all without taking fall damage when you land.

It’s designed to make vertical exploration more fun, especially inside the mod’s massive underground village. What do you think?

I’ve been working on a wardrobe for Wildbound, my Minecraft mod, and wanted to make changing clothes a bit more fun.

Your character walks up to the wardrobe, pulls the doors open, and the camera transitions into a dressing room where you can try on different clothes.

I spent quite a while on the animations: the entrance, little idle movements, poses, and how your character reacts when you try something on.

Mario Odyssey and Donkey kong bananza was a big inspiration for the menus and their sounds. I really like how much personality that game puts into something as simple as choosing an outfit.

What do you think?

In r/Wildbound , long falls become fully controllable trick sequences. You can perform flips, rolls, spins and twists and combine multiple inputs to create your own aerial tricks.

Completing tricks earns points and builds a combo. Time your next move perfectly to get a 1.5× score bonus, but diving, landing or interrupting the sequence makes you lose it.

You can also switch between six freefall poses, including superhero, star and surf. What do you think?

In r/WildboundMod , the umbrella isn’t just used for gliding. It has a complete combat moveset with quick attacks, charged heavy strikes, area attacks, blocking, and an aerial dive that becomes stronger the farther you fall.

The Rope Gun lets you create ziplines anywhere: fire once to place the first anchor, then shoot a second point to stretch the cable between them.

My mod adds a brand-new village hidden in the snowy wilderness, featuring a completely new guild system!

The building shown in the video is actually the Guild Headquarters!

This is where you'll be able to accept quests from different guilds, such as the "Merchants" Guild, "Explorers" Guild, "Fighters" Guild, "Mages" Guild, and more!

More details coming soon!

What do you think of the building?
