Terrain overhaul: the vanilla minecraft terrain has been completely overhauled using Biomes o Plenty & [Let's Do] Blooming Nature.

Controls

One pet-peeve of mine is that modpacks rarely have presets ready to go for players to play the game. This modpack has already a basic set of keybinds, which you can still change to your liking whenever you'd like!
- W, used to zoom
- X, enlarge your minimap
- C, Tom's wireless crafting grid (if you have made one)
- V, voice chat settings
- B, backpack
- N, open the sails of your ship
Horse keybinds:
- O, set your personal horse
- I, call your horse
