Copied from HeyKatu's description of Cottage Witch: Cottage Witch, a vanilla+ Minecraft modpack focused on the magic of exploration, nature, cooking, crafting, and the everyday.

Cottage magic is a type of modern, contemporary eclectic witchcraft practice that utilizes domestic magic. It emphasizes the magic in everyday things such as cooking, crafting, and decorating one's surroundings. Cottage Witch has a similar emphasis, expanding on the mechanics of cookery, artisanry, and decor - and, of course, magic. It enhances the natural world that your adventures take place in, both by overhauling biomes and wildlife. It intends to mostly preserve the vanilla progression, augmenting it with balanced items and new mechanics. The pack also provides Quests to lead you through much of the content, making it suitable for those who are new to mods, or who prefer not to consult a wiki in another tab. You can find additional information about the pack and its mechanics in the Pages tab of this project. Also check out Recast, a lighter remix of the original pack! The 1.18 version of Cottage Witch is no longer supported. Magic: [Mods]

Playthrough by FaithfulFamiliars Playthrough by Creothina Playthrough by babyunicorn184 Playthrough by BlindEyeBuilds Playthrough by FyerPower Playthrough by Alizzles Playthrough by Awulfha Playthrough by Gladdy (in German! With English subtitles) This modpack was designed to be used on mid-range computers, and 6-8gb of RAM is suggested. This modpack is also NOT compatible with OptiFine, but it includes Oculus if you want to use Shaders! All screenshots are taken using Complementary Shaders v4 - which is my favourite shader pack, and I highly recommend it!
