# Sylvan: New Beginning<\/p>\n
    <\/p>\n
## Philosophy<\/p>\n
I created this modpack as a simple creation for enhancing the beautiful game, by ameliorating its good parts and stripping out its bad parts: nevertheless, numerous content mods are added, so long as they either fully use vanilla blocks or add in elements that fit in to the game’s style.<\/p>\n
I believe in having fun more than gritty realism and adding content. Included with this modpack are popular content mods such as:
\n– **Create Fabric** (with some addons such as the Create: Interactive mod to enhance the contraptions system)
\n– **Terralith**, with **Amplified Nether** and various worldgen modifications to make exploration more fun
\n – This includes the full suite of **Yung’s Better Minecraft** mods, which fundamentally revamp the aged default Minecraft structures into things of beauty
\n– **Valkyrien Skies 2**, a mod that lets you transform Minecraft blocks and Create contraptions into full physics machines even capable of flight<\/p>\n
However, the main strength of this pack is in the numerous **Quality-Of-Life** mods. Some of them are aimed at removing frustrating parts of gameplay, such as **Forgiving Void** (when falling into the void, the player teleports back to the top of the map and lands safely if they were at full health), while some like **Visuality**, **Better Command Block UI**, **Screenshot to Keyboard** and **Visual Workbench** exist to better smaller parts of the game in general.<\/p>\n
## Screenshots<\/p>\n
Check out the gallery for some pictures! All photos were taken with the **Rethinking Voxels** shader.<\/p>\n
## Performance<\/p>\n
Sylvan bundles many performance mods and fixes in its releases, ensuring that even the weakest hardware has a chance at running the game playably.<\/p>\n
## Installation<\/p>\n
This project recommends the Prism Launcher project for easy installation and updating of all mods. Plus, Prism is fully open-source, lightweight, and available on macOS, Windows and every Linux distribution (via Flatpak, AppImage or native packages).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
