About this Mod

Title

Trailer:

Description:

Welcome back, everyone, to Simple Vanilla Upgrades with its much-needed upgrade: "The Non-happening Update."

The mod's concept is to basically add features that I think should be added to the game in its vanilla form. These tweaks don't change the core of the game, but are simply added to make the game feel more complete.

For example, how about a craftable Flare Gun, for you to light up the caves or even the nether in heights that you could never reach without making it such a hassle, an Uncrafting Table for you to dismantle every item you regret or accidentally crafted to get some of the resources back that it cost you.

Or even an instantaneous (under certain conditions) Camping Tent, for you to spend the night comfortably while on a trip, far from your home.

If any of these features piqued your interest, then how about you enter the wiki to see every single new item, armor, tool, brewing recipe, even the new type of Boss that you are able to add to your world?

And if it convinced you, I hope you truly enjoy downloading it for your next world.
Welcome to an improved version of Minecraft Vanilla with: Simple Vanilla Upgrades!
