A vanilla+ pack focused on decoration, enhancement of vanilla biomes, and QOL features

Description

A vanilla+ pack focused on decoration, enhancement of vanilla biomes, and QOL features.  I originally made this pack in 1.7.10 to introduce kids to some simple and aesthetic mods, but adults ended up enjoying it a lot, so I updated it to current Minecraft versions.


Important notes:

  • Be sure to enable Icon Xaero's resource pack to add more entity icons to the map.  It has an alert that it is incompatible, but you can ignore this.
  • The spnac resource pack is listed as incompatible but it works normally.  Ignore this alert.
  • Pick Up Notifier is enabled by default.  It is highly configurable so be sure to view the config options for it.  You can disable it entirely by opening pickupnotifier-client config, "General" section, and turn off "Include Arrows", "Include Experience", and "Include Items".
  • Distant Horizons is enabled by default.  If you have any performance problems at all, try turning it off and see if that fixes them.  In Options, to the left of the FOV slider, there's a button for Distant Horizons settings.  Toggle Enable Rendering to turn it on or off.  You can also try adjusting the other settings and see how they impact performance.  If you have any issues with dimensions besides the Overworld, try turning off Distant Horizons first.
