About this Mod

Project: Zen - Utilities is the dedicated content expansion mod for the Project: Zen modpack. It serves as a central hub for custom assets, unique entities, and specialized items tailored specifically for the pack's progression and world-building.

📦 Purpose

This mod provides the "physical" content that other mods or scripts in the Project: Zen ecosystem interact with. By centralizing these assets, we can offer a more cohesive and unique experience that isn't possible with existing mods alone.

🧬 Planned Content

While the mod is constantly evolving alongside the pack, it is built to house:

  • Custom Cobblemon: Unique species and variants exclusive to the Project: Zen world.
  • Decorative & Functional Blocks: New building materials and utility blocks.
  • Unique Items: Crafting components and special consumables (like the IV Candy Base).
  • Custom Entities & GUIs: Bespoke interfaces and mobs to enhance immersion.

🛠 Implementation Details

Please note that Project: Zen - Utilities is an asset provider.

No Default Recipes: To allow for total control over pack balance, items do not have default recipes.

Modpack Dependency: This mod is designed to be used within the Project: Zen modpack. If used standalone, the items and entities will exist in-game but will require external tools (like KubeJS or datapacks) to be obtainable in survival.
