Intro:
This modpack was specifically designed to introduce my girlfriend to MC without it being too modded and complicated, and to play it together in multiplayer.
The modpack adds (almost) no new blocks or items, and doesn't change world generation. It does however include numerous quality of life features and tweaks to make playing the game more convenient and easy.
I strive to make players experience as little distraction from the classic vanilla Minecraft gameplay as possible.

A world map and a minimap
Full screen advancements
