Regions Unexplored FAQ

It bridges the wood types from Regions Unexplored with Macaw's Mods, so you can craft Macaw's bridges, roofs, fences, doors, and other building pieces out of woods like Baobab, Blackwood, Cypress, Dead, Eucalyptus, Joshua, Kapok, Larch, Magnolia, Maple, Palm, Pine, Redwood, Socotra, Willow, and Wisteria. It also adds matching boats and boats with chests for those wood types.

Yes. This is a compatibility add-on, not a standalone content mod, so it depends on Regions Unexplored for the wood types and on Macaw's Mods for the building pieces it unlocks. Install all three together or the recipes and blocks won't appear.

You need to find the corresponding Regions Unexplored biomes in your world and harvest the trees there, since each wood type grows in its own biome. Once you have logs and planks from that wood, the Macaw's recipes for it become available at your crafting stations.

The most common cause is that you haven't actually obtained that wood yet, or you're using the wrong plank variant. Make sure you're holding planks from the specific Regions Unexplored tree, not vanilla planks, and that both mods plus this compatibility mod are loaded.

Craft it the same way as a vanilla boat, but substitute the planks from that wood type. Every supported wood has both a regular boat and a boat with chest, so you can build a full fleet across biomes.

Yes, each supported wood has a Boat with Chest variant, crafted like a vanilla chest boat using that wood's planks plus a chest. It behaves like a normal chest boat for storage while you travel.

No. Regions Unexplored and its Macaw's compatibility add-on are Java Edition mods, so they won't run on Bedrock. Bedrock players searching for 'Regions Unexplored bedrock' won't find a working version of this mod.

Adding it to an existing world is generally safe since it only adds new blocks and recipes, but always back up your world first. It's designed to sit alongside Macaw's Mods and other building mods without conflicts, though heavily overlapping wood-themed mods can occasionally cause recipe confusion.

It's a lightweight compatibility mod that mostly registers recipes and block variants, so it adds negligible overhead on its own. Any performance impact you notice is far more likely coming from Regions Unexplored's world generation or from Macaw's Mods themselves.

Check the items list on this wiki, which shows every boat and boat-with-chest variant, and cross-reference it with the Regions Unexplored biome guide to see where each tree grows. If a wood has a boat listed here, it also has Macaw's building pieces available.
