The team behind Defendia is pleased to announce that the modpack has been successfully ported from Forge 1.20.1 to NeoForge 1.21.1. This major milestone ensures continued compatibility with the latest version of Minecraft and takes advantage of the improvements offered by NeoForge.
Storyline and Quests Still in Development
Although the port was a success, there is still work to be done. The questlines and storyline remain under development, with refinements being made to ensure smooth progression and a cohesive narrative experience. Players can expect upcoming updates to expand on these elements, strengthening Defendia’s survival-driven world.
Mod Lineup Adjustments
The move to NeoForge also brought changes to the mod lineup:
- The Weapons mod from TacZ has been removed.
- Gobber2 and Simple Swords have been introduced as its replacements, offering fresh weapon options and progression paths.
- Additional mods have been retired, while some will make a return in future updates.
These adjustments aim to balance gameplay, diversify combat, and enhance the overall player experience while staying true to the modpack’s vision.
Looking Ahead
With the port complete, the focus now shifts to quest and storyline updates, as well as monitoring community feedback on the new mod changes. Players can look forward to more announcements as development continues, including details on which familiar mods will be returning to Defendia.
The successful port to NeoForge 1.21.1 marks an important step forward, ensuring Defendia continues to grow as a challenging, immersive zombie survival experience.
