Vanilla + Mini

The free, lightweight version of Vanilla+ — a curated survival addon that adds new ores, creatures, weapons, armor, and survival mechanics to Bedrock Edition without changing what makes Minecraft great.

No experimental features required. Works on existing worlds.

What's Inside

New Ores & Mining Progression

Five new ore tiers with a clear progression path:

  • Silver — Tier 1. Common near the surface. Bonus damage vs undead.

  • Cobalt — Tier 3. Found at mid-depth. Tools gain Momentum (speed increases with use).

  • Ruby — Tier 3. Deepslate layer. Increased critical hit chance.

  • Tungsten — Tier 3. Deepslate layer. Immense durability with auto-repair.

  • Platinum — Tier 4. The rarest. Full armor set grants Strength I.

Each tier has a full set of tools (Pickaxe, Axe, Shovel, Hoe), weapons (Sword, Spear with extended reach), and armor (Helmet, Chestplate, Leggings, Boots). Wear a complete set of the same material to unlock a set bonus:

  • Silver → Regeneration I

  • Cobalt → Haste I

  • Ruby → Strength I

  • Tungsten → Resistance I

  • Platinum → Strength I

New Creatures

  • Shark — Hostile apex predator of the ocean. Actively hunts players.

  • Brown Bear — Neutral forest omnivore. Becomes aggressive if you hold food near it.

  • Raccoon — Curious forest forager. Drops Blueberries.

  • Beaver — Peaceful river dweller. Drops sticks and logs.

  • Flamingo — Elegant pink bird found in warm biomes. Flees when approached.

  • Penguin — Playful arctic bird. Retaliates if provoked.

  • Owl — Silent forest hunter. Flees when approached.

  • The Explorer — Wandering NPC merchant who offers quests and rewards.

  • Obsidian Sentinel — Mini-boss found in The End. Axe attack (15 dmg), Stomp attack (10 dmg), applies fog to nearby players. Drops obsidian, diamonds, netherite ingots, and golden apples.

Survival Systems

Temperature (Celsius): Your body temperature fluctuates based on time of day, altitude, weather, and nearby blocks.

  • 35-60°C — Thirst drains faster, Mining Fatigue, Nausea & Heatstroke damage

  • 15-30°C — Safe zone

  • -30 to 10°C — Slowness, Mining Fatigue, Hypothermia damage

Cool down: stand near water/ice, remove armor, drink potions. Warm up: stand near fire/lava/campfires, hold a torch, wear armor.

Thirst: Your thirst bar drains over time and faster when sprinting, jumping, or in hot weather. Drink Water Bottles (+6), Milk Buckets (+8), or Potions (+4) to stay hydrated. Swimming in water or standing in rain also helps.

Utility Items

  • Explorer's Compendium — Interactive in-game guide with Bestiary, Crafting Station, Geology & Mining, Survival Guide, and Breeding Guide. You receive one on first join.

  • Backpack — Portable 27-slot storage. Hold in main hand and double-interact to open.

  • Config Stick — Toggle Temperature and Hydration display settings.

  • Missions Book — Track quests from The Explorer NPC.

  • Slingshot — Basic ranged weapon. Uses Cobblestone as ammo.

Food & Foraging

Find Blueberries, Coconuts, Mangoes, and Crabs in structure chests throughout the world. Hold a Sword while using a Coconut to crack it open for hydration.

Custom Blocks

  • Storage blocks for each ore (Silver Block, Platinum Block, Ruby Block)
