The Everything 50% Better Pack attempts to revitalize core aspects of Minecraft while maintaining the vanilla game progression experience. This means that the fundamental gameplay aspects of building and gathering resources remain rather similar to the core game. We opted not to include technology/magic mods that allow for excessive automation and power generation, because we felt it strayed too far from our progression ideals. However, the modpack rejuvenates nearly every other aspect of the game:
EXPLORATION:
We combined Terraforged, a realistic and gorgeous terrain generator, with mods like Worley’s Caves for a more interesting underground experience and Repurposed Structures for a greater variety of naturally occurring structures like villages and dungeons. Biomes O’ Plenty adds even greater depth to an already beautiful world. You won’t miss out on any of the cool 1.16 features, like Netherite gear and the new Nether biomes, because we’ve included a backport of the 1.16 Nether update.
ADVENTURE:
Battle your way through underground labyrinths in the Dungeon Crawl mod, explore the newly threatening depths with Upgrade Aquatic, and gaze upon the world from above with Towers of the Wild. If you die, don’t worry about permanently losing your gear – the Gravestones mod preserves your items within a simple tombstone at the site of your death. Accept quests with the Bountiful mod, which creates quest boards at villages for players to complete and earn rewards. YUNG’s Better Mineshafts makes the extensive cave networks simultaneously more beautiful and more deadly.
TECHNOLOGY:
The two technological aspects of the vanilla game that we saw fit to revamp were the tool upgrading system and the transportation. Vanilla enchantments can get pretty stale after a while, and once elytra are obtained, nearly all other methods of transportation become significantly outclassed. To address the tool issue, we added Tetra, which adds an all-new gear modification system similar to Tinker’s Construct, where users can create a wide variety of customizable weapons and tools from a much larger array of materials. Transportation is solved by the inclusion of Plato’s Transporters, a modern-version port of the beloved Archimedes’ Ships mod which allowed you to convert entire structures into rolling, floating, or flying vehicles. Terraforged terrain is often vast and difficult to traverse, so Plato’s Transporters will be an essential part of the exploration experience.
QUALITY OF LIFE:
We’ve included dozens of mods that address minor gameplay issues, from optimizing crafting tables with FastWorkbench to improving snow dynamics with Snow! Real Magic! Most of these mods simply tweak a minor gameplay aspect, but none of them fundamentally alter gameplay progression, so you can still experience the Minecraft you know and love.
