About this Mod
Portable Bases Datapack
This simple datapack let's you move your base around the world, perfect if you want to live a more nomadic lifestyle.
You have to explore NEW villages to find the Engineers that sell you the Base Makers! (Sadly due to limitations they are not craftable)
The currently avaialable base sizes are the following (XYZ) :
- 5x7x5
- 5x7x7
- 7x7x9
- 9x10x10
- 9x9x11
- 11x11x13
- 13x13x13
I didn't make bigger ones because the datapack is already quite OP even with these smaller sizes, but if you leave a comment on the planetminecraft page I can make other sizes later, maybe as a separate pack.
