In plain English

Orespawn Revived is a mod for Minecraft, built using NeoForge for version 1.21.1, which is a modding framework that lets developers add new content to the game. It is described as a continuation of the original OreSpawn mod, a well known Minecraft mod that added many new monsters, blocks, dimensions, and items, and this version is being kept updated by its current maintainer. The README itself is fairly short and does not go into detail about what specific content this version adds beyond a brief mention of OreSpawn style mobs, blocks, dimensions, and items for Minecraft 1.21.1. One feature it does call out is a built in portal gun system, which lets a player craft a chain of items, starting with Ender Pearl Dust, turning that into an Ender Star, and finally into a Portal Gun, with its behavior adjustable through a configuration file. To build the mod from source, a developer needs Java Development Kit version 21 installed, and the project uses Gradle, a build automation tool, with a wrapper already included so no separate Gradle installation is required. Running gradlew build produces a jar file that can be dropped into a Minecraft mods folder, while gradlew runClient or gradlew runServer can be used to test the mod directly during development. The project's source code is organized into standard Java mod folders for code, resources like sounds and images, and template files used to generate mod metadata at build time. It is released under the MIT license, which permits free use, copying, modification, and redistribution, including inside paid modpacks, as long as the license notice is kept.
