# Elkonian Wilderness — Changelog

## v1.0.0 (Alpha) — 2026-07-26

First public Alpha of the **Elkonian Wilderness** custom-dimension datapack for **Minecraft 26.1.2**.

### Dimension & Biomes
- A full custom overworld-style dimension (`elkonia:world_of_biomes`) with ~24 hand-crafted biomes:
  Zhang Spires & Foothills, Blackstone Peaks & Foothills, Golden Rolling Hills, Red Savanna,
  Red Sands Desert, Coastal Shoals, Deep Coral Ocean, Mirefen Basin, Cherry Grove, plus a full set of
  vanilla-style oceans and a Y-layered cave underworld.
- Bonus early **Wide Nether** dimension (`elkonia:wide_nether`).

### Structures & Custom Trees
- **Blackstone Volcano** — an 8-piece jigsaw build wrapping a lava crater, with data-driven `block_column`
  legs that fill down to the terrain so it grounds cleanly on the jagged peaks.
- Custom trees: **Giant Sequoias**, **Great Baobabs**, **golden birch groves**, **weeping willows &
  cypress**, and **big checkerboard cactus**.
- Reworked villages (taiga, savanna, cherry, mangrove), shipwrecks, buried treasure, sunken temples,
  witch huts, pillager outposts, and more.

### Getting Around
- `/function elkonia:wob/enter` — warp into the Elkonian Wilderness (with a portal warp animation).
- `/function elkonia:wob/leave` — return to the overworld.

### Editions
- **Elkonian Wilderness** — the pure custom dimension.
- **Blend Fork** — the same wilderness with vanilla biomes mixed in for a more familiar, varied world.

### Requires
Minecraft **26.1.2**. No mods or loaders — a pure vanilla datapack + resource pack.
