Valahia

Valahia

The old folk say the carved gates in the villages were never just decoration. Tie the right charm to one, and it opens.

Valahia is an adventure mod that takes you to a land of fog and old legends, a place where wolves howl louder under the full moon, the dead do not stay buried, and something in the dark keeps watching. Everything is built to feel like it belongs in vanilla Minecraft.


THE CARPENTRY TABLE

A stonecutter for wood. Put in any log or plank and choose what to make from it:
- Carved Planks, with a traditional carved rhombus pattern, for all 13 wood types
- Carved Stairs and Carved Slabs
- Regular planks, stairs, slabs and sticks, without wasting wood in the crafting grid

Crafted from 1 Iron Ingot above 6 planks of any kind.


THE MARTISOR AND THE PORTAL

Build a frame out of any Carved Planks, the same shape as a Nether portal. You can even mix woods. Then tie a Martisor to it, a small red and white spring charm, to open a golden portal.

The Martisor is crafted from String, Red Dye and White Dye, and is sometimes found in village chests.


FIVE BIOMES

- Old Forest: dense, foggy dark forests, wolves and foxes, and things that hunt at night
- Stone Peaks: bare stone and calcite mountains with mountain goats
- Reed Delta: wide marshes of murky green water, mud and clay
- Golden Plains: warm golden grass, sunflowers and horses
- Cursed Lands: red fog, a dark sky and pale, dead trees. Do not stay here after sunset.

Portals link 1:1 with the Overworld, and a return portal is always built on solid ground.


FOLKLORE CREATURES

- Strigoi: an undead from the old tales. Tougher than a zombie, it heals itself with every bite and burns in daylight. It keeps away from anyone holding garlic.
- Werewolf: a huge black wolf that hunts in the Old Forest at night. It grows stronger under a full moon.
- Forest Hag: an old witch of the deep woods. A rare mini-boss with her own health bar.
- ???: some travellers speak of something that follows you through the dark. It never comes close and only watches. Do not look at it too many times.


GARLIC

Found when breaking grass and in village chests. Plant it on farmland like a carrot. The white bulbs at the base show when it is ready to harvest.
