About this Modpack

An iteration of the BetterVanilla pack, focused on keeping survival challenging while refining the core experience. This version removes excess and easifying features coming from the rest of the "BetterVanilla" (Reload) Packs. Made to keep gameplay closer to vanilla Minecraft, while still feeling smooth and interesting.

Aiming to make vanilla survival feel more correct(hard) — adding just the right amount of polish, difficulty, and balance work; Furthermore, that is together with a focus on not adding idiotic obstecales or overworking players. A BetterVanilla pack made tougher, and the usual cleanness and simplicity which is better to play with.

As this is based of BetterVanilla, the mod count in here is also made to be minimum, to a subjective acceptable extent. Optimizations to the max included, and a deticated server version of the pack (to be made soon).

And of course, you may base and fork for of any new pack of your own from this.
