This pack brings many small improvements and tune-ups to Minecraft, while keeping it all very vanilla friendy and approachable. It has 100+ features in categories such as combat, enchantments, mobs, recipes, and even quality of life interactions. It also takes ideas from other Minecraft media (such as MC Dungeons), scrapped content (such as the Combat Tests), concept art/ideas, and popular feedback requests! Most of these can be subtle and hard to notice, but below contains everything this pack has to offer! Many of these are already in various Mods and Data Packs, but this one compiles them together for a neat and uniform experience! **Currently in beta, everything is subject to change or removal** # Changes (Overview) - Implementation of unused mobs, like the Illusioner and Giant - Tridents have become more useful and can be found as loot - Rebalancing of many enchantments, buffing some lesser used ones while also nerfing the overperformers, to switch up gameplay meta a bit - Changes to crafting recipes and new ones added to smoothen progression - New smelting recipes for the furnace, and many recipes added to the other smelting blocks to better encourage their usage - Experience can be earned from harvesting crops, reaching goals, and more ### If any of these sounds interesting, read the details below or give the pack a try! # Changes (Detailed)
