Modding & Ecosystem Integration
Via Equina is a Minecraft Java mod built on NeoForge 1.21.1. It acts as an add-on to the existing Via Romana mod infrastructure, extending its static road network with intelligent, assisted horseback travel systems.
Navigation & HUD Implementation
This project demonstrates my ability to read, adapt, and build upon an existing codebase. I programmed horses to automatically follow established route graphs, dynamically read intersections based on rider input, and halt smoothly at the end of a road block sequence.
Custom UI integration for the gait and stamina management system.Gameplay Mechanics
In addition to the road logic, I designed and implemented a custom horse gait and stamina management system. This system is fully integrated into the game loop with a bespoke on-screen HUD, adding a layer of resource management to traversal without breaking the game's core feel.
