New Mobs

Once the game is loaded, you will spawn with a book in your inventory, which will give you just a little taste of all you will discover in this journey.

That book is the Animal Dictionary. Open it up and get your first advancement, Alex’s Mobs! With the mod Alex’s Mobs, 89 mobs are added to your adventure, including animals, monsters, and mythical beings, each with unique behaviors and mechanics designed to improve the game’s ecosystem and adventure elements.

New and Improved Biomes

You will be crossing paths with those incredible mobs while discovering new and revamped biomes. Thanks to the mod, Biomes O’Plenty, you will find a ton of different scenarios. From beautiful Lavender Fields to underground lava mazes, you have plenty of environments to check out. There’s even tall Redwood forests that might be perfect for a base!

Immersive Experience

Traveling through these great biomes is a whole experience with mods adding a natural-like feeling such as AmbientSounds, Ambient Environment, or Falling Leaves. For instance, players exploring grand forests or mountainous terrain will hear birds chirping or wind breezing nearby. This and other features all create an immersive experience for your gameplay!

Structures

While exploring you’ll find different structures generated by different mods like YUNG’s, Medieval Buildings, Additional Structures, and more! Crossing with these different builds for sure adds a layer of depth, discovery, and excitement to your adventure. In some of these buildings, players can also find various amounts of lootable items. These range from rare materials to food, so make sure to fully explore each structure to uncover its treasures.

Vanilla Improvements

Many mods have been added to improve the core game with improved mechanics for exploration, achievement tracking and item interactions. These mods, are the kind that keep the gameplay interesting, adding new challenges and goals, while maintaining the essence of the vanilla game. Some of the many mods added are Better Archeology, Better Advancements, and Better Burning.

Playability

The mods included in this area are the ‘essential’ ones. These are not focused on adding content, but on simplifying the gameplay in order to have a smoother session focused on fun and not on tedious tasks. Some of the mods in this modpack are Inventory HUD+, Jade, Polymorph, Not Enough Animations, and my favorite one FallingTree. This last one allows you to take down a whole tree only by breaking one log!

Shaders
