A Vanilla+ modpack with three goals in mind.

1. Reduce needless grind in Minecraft. It isnt a fast track to the end game, but a reduction to some tedious repetitive aspects of the game that get annoying.
2. Extra adventure. Addition structures, biomes, dimensions and resource packs that add to the experience.
3. Keep that classic Minecraft feel. We know its modded, but this could be in the base game.

All the mods, data packs and resource packs will be listed in the below categories explaining their purpose for being included. You can find information for Previous Versions at the github page.

Current Version 2.0.3+26.1.2
