Description

Cardinal Discovery is a discovery and exploration based modpack that utilizes new biomes, items, mobs, ores, and structures to enhance how the game feels while still keeping true to vanilla aspects of the game. Some of the main features of Cardinal discovery are revamped structures like temples and villages, it also adds procedural castle dungeons for you to explore and fight through, and finally it's main feature is new and improved terrain and cave generation using Hydrological and Ecosphereical on the Forge version and Biomes O' Plenty on the Fabric Version! Currently no testing for Cardinal Discovery has been done on a multiplayer server so use at your own Risk.
