This modpack was build from the ground up with a clear vision for what the focus of the game should be, which is EVERYTHING. <\/p>\n<p>### Tight new gameplay loop<br \/>\nWhen you boot into this modpack expect to find yourself in an engaging new gameplay loop built around minecrafts strengths, less mining in a straight line and more caving, looting and building.<\/p>\n<p>![Dark secrets in the caves](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/3665da77c57a1c7d1c1c304db9782609e2f29ac0_0.webp)<\/p>\n<p>### Revamped underutilized systems<br \/>\nFind new reasons to engage with systems that got a lot of effort in this modpack like food and health, enchantments, loot and dungeons, and villages. Every feature of this modpack has been tightly integrated, it isn&#8217;t a huge mess of features you&#8217;ll never touch but a neatly packaged experience that will guide you through all the gameplay has to offer!<\/p>\n<p>### Trimmed the fat<br \/>\nThis modpack should become your new vanilla, the emphasis was not on jam packing the pack with content but with uplifting what is already there. There are in fact new weapons and armor as well as new potions and structures but balance and maintaining the vanilla _feel_ remains an upmost priority and a ton of work has gone into keeping the experience free of clutter.<\/p>\n<p>![Silent Dungeon covered in moss](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/1e35de4a8a5c93155e0bb07a9ae0fb07a31d33fe.png)<\/p>\n<p>### Best enjoyed with friends<br \/>\nThe best way to play this modpack is cooperatively with friends, for the first time in a long time youll be building dirt huts for shelter and meeting every challenge happily because honestly the base games design is a mess and all it took to make it better was like 4 changes.<\/p>\n<p>### Hot new extras<br \/>\nLots of extras made it into the modpack as well like the greatest preset for the greatest shaders ever, Bliss shaders; as well as an optional pvp mode (which I will most likely fleshed out in future).<\/p>\n<p>![Very pretty shader](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/6ffe5a88c14af5e7fe7a17b7c4c8c0752a82d8b7.png)<\/p>\n<p>### Shader sidenote<br \/>\nThe primary preset of the Bliss shader included in the modpack is a bit intensive to say the least, I believe it is the best way to play the game but if the framerate is a bit too low for your liking I suggest either using Lossless Scaling, using the second preset that comes with the modpack (Bliss_v2.0.4_(Chocapic13_Shaders_edit).zip) or turning it off altogether (I wouldnt do that but its aight I forgive you). You can also find a helpful keybind to toggle the shaders if youd only like them on some of the time.<\/p>\n<details>\n<summary>Highlighted Mods<\/summary>\n<p>This Modpack would not be possible without PhilipModDev&#8217;s amazing work on Philips Ruin&#8217;s which has helped me give the world much more vibrant content to explore.<\/p>\n<p>Many thanks to Magistu for providing the Epic Knights mod adds some really spicy new weapons shields and armour into the modpack. <\/p>\n<p>Big shoutout to the work gone into Geophilic and Explorify by Bee which showcases heavily in the pack.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<p>#<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minecraft if it were made in an alternate reality.
