Removed mods

• Just Enough Dimensions
• I never got around to creating proper custom dimensions so it was just sitting there useless.
• Dynamic Lights
• Replaced with albedo
• Wizardry
• Just too incomplete to be fun to play with. Will be revisited later if updated.

New mods

• Alternative to dynamic lights

Dynamic Trees

• Lowered seed voluntary drop rate from 0.25 to 0.1
• Seed plant rate lowered from 0.125 to 0.05
• Log harvest multiplier increased from 1 to 1.25

Better with mods

• Disabled HC Spawn
• HC Structures was still lingering, disabled it for real this time
• Disabled HC Stumping

• Stumps/roots were a bit too hard to remove by hand without burning them or doing something silly (read: “TNT”). Thus the overall gameplay value seemed to just act as a major annoyance.

The Beneath

• The Beneath was a lackluster, there simply just was not enough of a reason for going in there instead of mining in the overworld. This might change things a bit.
