### Exploration Innovation is a modpack focused on, wouldn’t you guess it, exploration.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When you first create a world, you’ll need to choose an origin. This choice may affect your playthrough drastically, slightly, or not at all depending on your preference. Choose wisely!<\/p>\n
After this, you’ll have the opportunity to explore your world and find a variety of new structures. Deliberately, the choice has been made to exclude the most popular structure mods such as the YUNGs series of structures. This is because I see them in nearly every pack that I play and have gotten tired of them, I can’t imagine I’m the only one to feel this way! They’re great structures, but some variety is great to have too!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There are also a tasteful, small amount of new biomes included in the pack. Enough that you’ll certainly encounter them, but not so much that they drown out the vanilla biomes you know and love.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Here’s a list of some changes that will make exploring your world feel much more fun than it is in vanilla:<\/p>\n
– Dozens of new structures and biomes for you to find.
\n– You can now create real, block built ships and airships using the Eureka mod.
\n– Minecarts can now be linked together with chains
\n– Minecarts now go much faster when their rails are on top of Gravel Blocks.
\n– Minecart Rails are now also craftable with Copper Ingots.
\n– Horses are faster than their vanilla counterparts.
\n– Horses can now equip Horseshoes, which improve speed and are enchantable.
\n– Horse armor is now trimmable.
\n– Horses and their riders now walk through leaves.
\n– Horses can now swim with a rider.
\n– Sacks let you carry more items in the early game similarly to Shulker Boxes.

\n– The ocean is much more populated than before.
\n– Expanded archaeology and rewards for persuing it.
\n– Craftable Atlases to create a finite, tangible mini-map.
