Adventure Ballad

Overview

Adventure Ballad is focused on exploration, adventure, and magic (with a little tech from Create).

Think of this pack as a Vanilla+ experience.

Notable Features

Additional Dimensions

• The Twilight Forest: A classic adventure mod contained in its own dimension.

Quality of Life

• Comforts: Sleeping bags and hammocks for when you're out exploring.
• Find Me: Where did I put the slime balls again?

Revamped Vanilla

• "YUNG's Better ...": Redesigned vanilla structures. These maintain the spirit of vanilla, while providing a much-needed facelift.
• Cataclysm: More challenging dungeons and bosses across the main dimensions!
• The Outer End: Expands the End dimension with new biomes, structures, and mobs.

• Cooking for Blockheads: Better and more diverse food options from the existing vanilla crops.
• Creeper Overhaul: Those aren't normal Creepers...

Additional Content

• Sophisticated Backpacks & Storage: You'll need somewhere to store all your loot!

How do I find all these new structures and biomes?

Need help finding all these new structures? Craft a "Structure Compass"! You will need to prepare yourself to face the Wither boss to obtain the necessary ingredients though!

Can't find those biomes you're looking for? Craft a "Nature's Compass"!

Anti-grind fatigue

Some aspects of Vanilla Minecraft just take too long for little reward. Time you could be spending exploring, building, or fighting! So a number of the mods in this pack have been chosen to help alleviate some of that grind.

• Easy Villagers: No more complicated breeding buildings and panicking when a villager escapes. Put those pesky villagers into a cube!
• Botany Pots: Grow and harvest crops in pots! Go explore while your crops take care of themselves.
• Mob Grinding Utils: A way to automate mob farms without Big Tech. Although you could just use "Create".

Future Plans

• Add FTB Quests for a more guided experience.
