Shield's CozyCraft

V1.2

Just an attempt to make a more chill modpack with some nice features for more causal players, even if playing with more experienced or invested players. Basically none of the mods have been fine-tuned (yet), but the collection of mods themselves have been designed for a wide variety of players. Expect an experience catered to a small/moderately sized group of friends, 2-20 is best. Solo play is also an experience, and a bit less lonely than vanilla.

This pack is not affiliated with anyone or monetized in any way, but please do support the modmakers behind the mods listed below. You are free to do what you will with the pack (provided you follow the license provided), but please read up on the mod owners' pages to see what their distribution permissions are before publishing your own version of this or modifying its content.

Without further ado, here are the credits to this modpack. Please go support their mods:

Illuminations: doctor4t, Xiribidus, and PyrofabTheModsmith worked/are working together for this one. Adds a bunch of ambient, cosmetic lights to the game. I encourage you to figure out where and what they are without looking at the mod page!

Immersive Aircraft: A quirky little mod by Conczin that makes things a little more...interesting. Enjoy :3

Incendium and Terralith: Mods by Starmute that make the worldgen a little bit more diverse and funky. Enjoy the new biomes and terrain! Thanks Starmute!!!

Made by Snownee_ and mascotted by MalayP. Go send them some love for me pls! I even use Jade for vanilla, just because it's nice to have

Speaking of, Snownee_ also made Lava Clear View with Neubulae as mascot.

JourneyMap: Mod by techbrew, Mysticdrew, and meme_sapiens that I chose to use instead of Xaero's World Map and Xaero's Minimap (by xaero96) this time. Reason for this was that I feel like using a more popular minimap/worldmap is a better idea for this particular pack. Big thanks to the makers of all these mods, make sure to check them all out.

Krypton: A networking optimization by tuxed. Use with Linux for best effect, but should improve overall connectivity and reduce latency

LambDynamicLights and LambdaBetterGrass: Mods by LambdAurora that add dynamic lights to the game and make the various grass textures feel a little more smoothed out. Improves visuals both on the surface world and underground!

Serilum made Mooshroom Tweaks, Collective, and some of the mods in my other packs as well (to be released soon :3). A lot of his mods are vanilla+ or feel like server plugins, convenient way to avoid coding as much as possible. Thank you Serilum!

More Geodes: TheDeathlyCow made this, adds a bunch more geode types and more interesting ore generations. Go take a look at some of the features, it's actually pretty cool.

Mouse Tweaks: A Quality of Life mod by YaLTeR, with the sole purpose of making inventories just a bit smoother to interact with. Once you acclimate to it, you'll find you can't live without it

Patchouli: A rather important dependency mod for many mods, made by williewillus, Vazkii, and Hubry. This mod actually lets this mess run as one modpack instead of as an exit code. Thank you!

Presence Footsteps: S0llace made this one. It go step (much thank)

Smooth Boot: Boots up minecraft without freezing your pc, the ultimate creation of UltimateBoomer and fantahund99

Smooth Swapping: A nice cosmetic feature mod by Schauweg, makes items go zip zap zoppy zoop. Amazing.

Sound Physics Remastered: Makes sound sound really nice. Try yelling in a cave with VC, see what happens. Also made by henkelmax.

Spark: A performance profiler for you and me, made by lucko. If you know how to use it, go crazy

Stoneholm (Underground Villages): Made by TheGrimsey, and does exactly what you think it does. Go take a look around one!

Straw Golem Rebaled: LITL FARMR FREN!!! Made by CommodoreThrawn and Fr3nderman with love (...I think)

Structory: Made by botanydev with Starmute as a pack dev, this mod also adds a bunch of neat little structures to the game. Thank you for this blessing

And finally, some mods from YUNGNICKYOUNG (some with help from EveCommander, telepathicgrunt and teratoutcourt, and with refresh_studio as mascot):

inhales

YUNG's API, Traveler's Titles, YUNG's Better Desert Temples, YUNG's Better Dungeons, YUNG's Better Mineshafts, YUNG's Better Ocean Monuments, YUNG's Better Strongholds, YUNG's Better Witch Huts, YUNG's Bridges, and of course YUNG's Extras.

TECHNICAL NONSENSE:
6-8GB of RAM is recommended, 8 chunks render distance is fine for most mechanics, 12-16 for best experience if you can handle it

Compatible with shaders, I recommend Sildur's or BSL, but none are included by default

During your first launch of the game, it may take a while to boot up and/or update. This necessitated the use of smoothboot, whick will allow you to use your PC while you wait. Be prepared to wait 1-2 minutes with a good setup. Also, don't be scared if your game stutters a couple times while loading the main menu, this is normal. Once close to the end of the loading bar, once while the buttons look like they're about to load. DO NOT ALT-TAB OUT WHILE IT'S STUTTERING, ONLY WHEN ACTIVELY LOADING. Nothing will break, it'll just crash.

Yes I know that illuminations is giving a toast over one of the buttons, Still trying to fix...

Lastly, special thanks also go to some non-curseforge users for being there for me:

TBRWorld, for being the TBR we all neither need nor deserve

gamerinlittlespace, for finally making me do this pack, and being my graphic designer for free for like 10 minutes

Nox, for saying they want to play it with me, making me finally make this pack

Gattillynx and Nymphrodell, for being big brain friends who were there for me

BenVisage, for being legitimately interested in my content

And finally, to you, the person playing this pack. Yes, you. You are the reason I made this. Enjoy
