Yet Another Semi-Vanilla Pack
More challenging, more adventurous, more refreshing.
About this Modpack
I want a vanilla experience, wait no... I want it more modded...
no! scratch that, more vanilla!
This modpack aims to solve the this exact issue - where there is imbalance between a vanilla and a modded feeling, while still being fun and lengthy!
There are plenty of adventures, builds, action, and some grinding to perform:
- For adventures, using a combination of multiple world generation-changing-mods like Better Nether, Better End, Terralith, Cavernous, Oh The Biomes We've Gone will shape your world and make it more exciting to travel. These mods include their own unique structures and dungeons with the addition of custom blocks and mobs.
- In terms of building, many skilled builders will appreciate the various decoration and block forming mods available in order to fill the gaps from vanilla minecraft's blocks (yes, vertical slabs included!)
- Grinding and action will be your main struggle in the beginning of the modpack, because of the inclusion of the mod LevelZ, you will have to climb your way up the levels using special XP orbs obtained from monsters to level up your skills like in an MMORPG game, unlocking skills like Mining, Smithing, Farming to be able to even use simple blocks and
items!
