About this Modpack

I made this modpack because I was ... slightly board of the normal gameplay and I knew of some great mods for vanilla gameplay. there a quite a lot of mods and resource packs and I will add more when I have good ideas for it. "Fresh Moves" needs you to add a few extra pixels to your skin PNG for the eyes to acualy move so heres a wiki for that "Just Expressions" needs that to work. here is a quick overview of the modpack
