Mike's Way
A world of exploration and adventure awaits.
Discover new biomes, creatures, monsters, and treasures.
Befriend villagers and expand towns.
Explore ancient ruins and past civilizations.
What is Mike's Way?
Mike's Way is my own custom pack which features mods I particularly enjoy. Beyond that this pack is designed to work well as a whole, while focusing on community building with villagers.
There is a lot of loot and treasure to be found, though drop and spawn rates need to be balanced still. Explore! Look around! There's a myriad of new biomes and mobs to encounter!

The Story
You've grown up in a village in the shadow of an ancient ruin. To you these ruins represent a mysterious past which no longer exists.
You've grown up in the cold climates, with a small community to support you, strange and monstrous creatures prowl the deeps where you regularly fish. . . and sometimes you hear a strange song on the wind.
You've awoken alone in a place that feels both strange and familiar.
The story is yours, and through in game prompts you'll be able to establish and grow yours.
