Description
Ever thought Minecraft was far too easy?, That the survival element of the game wasn't really that important? or that you run out of things to accomplish within 3-4 days leaving you completely unmotivated to keep playing?
If so then this is the Modpack for you!
ImprovedCraft aims to bring the perfect combination of challenge into Minecraft while also keeping the game feeling vanilla, while yes there may be crazy bosses and intense new abilities granted to already existing mobs, but i try my best to ensure that no features feel too out of place in the game and are all polished and fit together nicely,
to give you a well... IMPROVED Minecraft experience.
Getting Started
Some of the important changes you should know about are....
Thirst
Dealing with Thirst is pretty simple start by making a flask like so
uses leather and leather patches, leather patches can be made by combined 4 leather at a crafting table
And a campfire cauldron using copper nuggets, charcoal, sticks and a copper cauldron (made with 7 copper ingots)
Using a bucket you can pour water into the cauldron and after sometime that water will be purified and can be collected via the flask
Mob Overhauls
Mobs have been vastly overhaul in many aspects including new ai and new variants depending on where you are.
All basic mobs that spawn below Y level 0 spawn as better, stronger variants
Have a look at some mob changes here
Creeper
Health reduced from 20 > 14
Creepers now move incredibly fast and can catch you almost at sprinting speed
Explosion radius is slightly bigger, and much bigger for charged creepers
Being in their blast radius can inflict mining fatigue and weakness
When Spawned under Y level 0 they will blow up blocks to reach you!
Zombie
Health Increased 20 > 35
Are a little bit slower
Take 0 Knockback
Will give you hunger 3 for 20 seconds on hit
When Spawned Under Y level 0 they will become 'Forgotten' gaining 10 health and 2 armor
Skeleton
Health increased 20 > 25
Are much faster
Will sprint away from you if you get close
Can spawn as a baby variant
When Spawned Under Y level 0 they will become an 'Undead Warrior' either wielding a stone sword or tipped arrows
Spider
Can spawn in varius sizes ranging from 0.75% to 150% smaller/bigger
Health and Damage scales with size
Speed scales inversed (bigger spiders are slower)
Can shoot webs at you
Normal Spiders give you slowness 2 for 4 seconds while Cave spiders give you slowness 3 for 6 seconds and will trap you in a web on hit
When killed can rarely explode into baby spiders
When Spawned Under Y Level 0 they will become an 'Armored spider' gaining health and Knockback Resistance
Some more changes you should know

Quests
Two fully custom quest trees have been added and replaced advancements!
[Quest Tree 1: Progression] This tree is made in order to guide your character progression and to help you get stronger!
[Quest Tree 2: The END] This tree is made to help your grand adventure to slay the Ender Dragon, it will guide you to multiple bosses, dungeons and even a new dimension!
Reworked Progression and Gear
A new tier of gear has been added, Copper! this will generally be the first set of Armor you make as it can be aquired quite easily 
All gear past Copper is now made from platings which require a Smithing Table to create
This includes Iron, Gold, Diamond and Netherite
recipes are the same as vanilla but with platings instead meaning resource cost is doubled
To balance this Iron gear has had about a 45% durabilty boost to tools and a 100% durability boost to armor
along with this all armor will now have a set bonus when you wear the full set, usually being bonus hearts
Trinkets
Trinkets have been added that can be equipped in one of your many Trinket slots some can be found in chests across the world while others can only be made using the new Gleaming ore, an ore that spawns exclusively in the deepslate layer.
Below are just some of the Trinkets added
Heart Containers
Heart containers are some of the most powerful items in the game, used to gain 1 bonus permanent Heart up to 5 total they can be made from heart crystal shards which are mined from giant hearts that spawn underground
They can be made like so using a mechanical crafter (follow the quest tree to learn how to make a mechanical crafter)
Temperature
Temperature is now present in the game
Temperature will only be a factor if you are in a Cold biome
Wetness is now a factor represented by the blue overlays around you health
Cold Biomes Include: Any Area with Snow or Ice
How to Deal with the Cold
- Craft Fur Armor, Fur can be collected by using a brush on either a Wolf, Polar Bear or Ocelot
- Getting Wet will make you get colder quicker, try to stay dry

- Drinking Hot Cocoa can also help
