Features:
Farming 🍞
At the start of your adventure, you will only have 3 hearts! Eating food with raise these hearts for a time. They also will increase your health regen! You can eat up to three different meals for max benefits. Wild crops like carrots and tomatoes will be useful in the early game.
With Farmer's Delight, you can grow and prepare even better meals over time that offer you better health and better regen.
Better Combat ⚔️
An obvious choice for any pack. Better Combat changes combat to be similar to that found in Minecraft Dungeons. Weapons now swing and sweep depending on the type, rather than be a bullet hit-scan. With supporting mods like Truly Modular and Combat Roll, combat will be much more engaging and dynamic. While still being easy to understand.
The pack also includes Iron's Spells & Spellbook's for those who are more magically inclined.
Dungeons N'Landscapes 🌍
There are many more structures in this mod. As well as a diverse ecosystem. Climb mountains & volcanos to raid trecherous dungeons. Or fortify and defend one of the many diverse villages you find.
Villages come in many more shapes and sizes. New and old. Some will be grand. Some will be quaint. Along with this all Villagers will spawn with a name to them. Will you be their protector? Or their plunderer?
Transportation 🚂
It's a big world out there, and you'll need ways to get around. Luckily with Create mod you can create Trains that transport among all your desired locations. Prefer something less grand? With Immersive Aircraft you can build yourself several different types of aircraft to get around in style.
