Addons:
Celestial Bronze – A mythical metal with divine origins, Celestial Bronze is a rare and powerful alloy known for its shimmering hue and formidable strength. Ideal for crafting advanced tools, weapons, and armor, it integrates seamlessly into the world without feeling overpowered. Whether you're battling hostile mobs or exploring ancient ruins, Celestial Bronze offers both function and flair, staying true to Minecraft’s vanilla spirit while adding a touch of mythological magic.
Visible Ores – Inspired by the Vanilla Tweaks aesthetic, Visible Ores enhances the clarity and visibility of ore blocks by subtly outlining them or adjusting their background textures. It doesn't change how ores function or look radically—just enough to make mining more intuitive and less frustrating, especially in low-light environments. This tweak preserves Minecraft’s core visual style while improving gameplay quality for resource gatherers.
