About this Mod
What is Wending Subtleties?
Wending Subtleties is a small datapack project focused on adding minimal additions and consistency changes to vanilla world generation, with the main goal of making Minecraft's overworld and subsequent dimensions feel just a little more finished. I've really enjoyed working on this project, and I hope that this is what you have been looking for!!
