As we tend to do around this time of year, today is another big day for Team Abnormals announcements - here's a bit of a recap of what happened today!
Caverns & Chasms
Exactly three years since its initial announcement, plus many reworks, revamps, changes, additions, and more, Caverns & Chasms is officially released on 1.19.2. While documentation is not yet available, you can jump into the game to find what's new or view an older announcement detailing the mod a bit, but keep in mind it is outdated. Also, feel free to scroll through our showcase channel in our discord!
You can download Caverns & Chasms now on CurseForge while Modrinth reviews the file.
Atmospheric and Environmental
Atmospheric and Environmental have had significant updates, with new biomes, foods, mobs, and many more. You can read a blurb about Atmospheric and Environmental in each mod's beta announcement.
These updates have been released as public betas, and are still slightly work-in-progress, mainly in the sound design department, but we wanted to get them out to everyone as soon as possible and in tandem with the Caverns & Chasms release. Please expect finalized releases in the coming weeks.
The GitHub repositories for these updates are not updated yet and will be updated as soon as possible.
Atmospheric 5.1.0 is in beta on CurseForge and Modrinth.
Environmental 3.1.0 is also in beta on CurseForge and Modrinth.
Endergetic Expansion
It is no secret that Endergetic has been having some delay development-wise, especially with the brand new Eetle update. This update is being put on hold, as we focus on keeping Endergetic on the latest version alongside other Abnormals mods for foreseeable future. We will get this Eetle update out as soon as it is ready, but we don't know when that will be.
That being said, Endergetic was just ported to 1.19.2, available now on CurseForge and Modrinth.
Nether Extension
Like Caverns & Chasms, Nether Extension has been in development for a very long time. Unfortunately, we are making the decision to put the project indefinitely on hold. We have no idea if or when the project will be released, and do not have the current passion to work on it. We are instead putting our focus on projects like Caverns & Chasms, and updating existing mods with new features. For now, Nether Extension's channel will be archived in our discord while we reevaluate our goals with the mod.
We still hope to update the Nether, but not in this way and not at this time. Nether Extension will likely return one day, maybe with a different name and feel! Thank you for understanding.
1.20
1.20 has been a divisive point in the modded community. Now that we have some major releases out of the way, we will start porting as many of our mods as possible to 1.20**.1 **on Forge, with betas starting as soon as possible for our smaller mods. Before our major mods get ported, we will release some fixes and get Atmospheric & Environmental out of the public beta stage.
We will keep an eye on the climate with 1.20.5 and begin pursuing 1.20.5 on NeoForge when we are ready. Thanks for being patient, and stay tuned!
Team Abnormals Wiki
We are fully aware of, and apologize for, the lack of documentation for our mods. Previously, we announced a Notion wiki for the Abnormals mods. We have since moved on from that idea, and instead are being supported by wiki.gg with our own Team Abnormals Wiki!
This wiki is heavily work-in-progress, but it is open to the community to help support and edit, which will be the best way to get full documentation as soon as possible, as we are quite busy with ports and have a lot of passionate members in our community! If you are interested in helping, you are welcome to. Consider joining our discord to communicate with other editors and developers!
Final Remarks
Thank you so much for supporting us on this almost four-year journey with Team Abnormals! We apologize for the development delays over the years and hope to get back to you all with more updates, ports, and releases in the coming future! We are excited for the future of Team Abnormals!
