Wanderlust Plus

A Vanilla+ Exploration experience for those who love stumbling upon new and cool things in the wild.
Install via App

This modpack was made for personal use, primarily for a private server used by my family.

I have always loved exploration in games, but I get bored pretty quickly with vanilla Minecraft—to my great disappointment. So, I've been trying a bunch of mods together until I found just the right group to give exactly the "interesting exploration & things to find" feel without adding so much that it feels overwhelming or looses the good "feel" of Minecraft.

Anyway, I'm just sharing this with the hopes that someone else with similar tastes can get some enjoyment from it too (or use it as a starting point, as I often do when searching through modpacks).

 

This Modpack runs on 1.19.2 using Forge 

INCLUDED MODS

(Underlined titles link to the mod page)

 

[Creatures + Villagers]

 

  • Alex's Mobs
  • Requires:  Citadel
  • Adds a ton of new mobs ranging from passive to hostile to boss mobs
  • Includes: tameable, breedable, rideable mobs.
  • Includes new items & crafts relating to each creature.
  • Currently configured so Cave Centipedes, Cockroaches, and Skellywags spawn extremely rarely compared to default settings.
  • I'm a coward and these three things really freak me out, but the Cave Centipedes and Skellywags have awesome loot if you're actually good at Minecraft and don't die, unlike me lol

 

  • Aquaculture 2
  • Adds 30+ new fish
  • New loot, ore type, and tools for fishing

 

 

 

  • More Villagers
  • Adds new professions (listed below).
  • Potentially game/balance breaking! Adjust spawn rate in the config file if you like the challenge of the Nether and End.

Oceanographer (easy way to get Prismarine)

Netherologist (easy Nether items)

Forester (woods + saplings)

Enderologist (easy End items)

Engineer (redstone items)

Florist (plants, honey)

Hunter (easy rare monster drops)

Miner (easy rare ore - not diamonds/iron/gold)

 

 

  • VillagersPlus
  • Adds new professions (listed below)
  • Currently configured so you're likely to find 0-1 per village (from what I've seen so far, I'm not an expert)
  • Potentially game/balance breaking! Adjust spawn rate if you like the challenge of finding rare materials.

Horticulturist (non-tree plants)

Occultist (glow stuff, soul stuff, quartz & amythest)

Oceanographer (corals and stuff)

Alchemist (easy way to get Nether Wart & other potion materials)

 

  • YDM's Red Panda
  • Adds a red panda mob
  • Tameable & breedable with Sweet Berries
  • Health restored by bamboo

 

 [Immersion + Decor]

 

  • Doggy Talents
  • Super deep system for dogs as companions that I can't summarize succintly
  • You're going to want to go through the description on the actual mod page
  • For people who want more from their tamed wolves

 

  • Domestication Innovation
  • Requires:  Citadel
  • Adds items like Pet Bed that your tamed mobs link to to respawn in after death
  • Cycle through Wander, Stay, and Follow commands
  • Can't accidentally attack pets now
  • Makes axolotls, rabbits, foxes, and frogs now tameable

 

  • Fairy Lights
  • Highly customizable in crafting
  • Personal favorite for lighting decor

 

  • Farmer's Delight
  • Adds way more crops to farm, meat cuts & varieties, and a full cooking/kitchen system
  • Addon:   Collector's Reap
  • Addon:   Cultural Delights
  • Addon:   Delightful
  • In listing these, I now realize I'm missing a few I like to have. Seriously, this mod has so many amazing addons, I recommend searching for them to customize your experience even more.

 

 

 

 

  • Twigs
  • Adds a few cosmetic items to find on the ground
  • Can be broken into useful items, like sticks or bonemeal

 

 

[Quality of Life]

 

  • Appleskin
  • Adds useful info about food & hunger

 

 

  • Comforts
  • Adds sleeping bags (night) and hammocks (day) to sleep without creating new spawn point
  • I literally can't play without this anymore. Highly recommend.

 

  • Double Doors
  • Requires:  Collective
  • Two adjacent doors (& multiple trapdors) of the same type will open at the same time when clicked.

 

 

 

 

  • Friendly Fire
  • Requires:  Bookshelf
  • Prevents friendly fire on pets
  • Probably don't need it with Domestication Innovation, though, tbh

 

  • Gravestone Mod
  • Stores your inventory in a grave when you die
  • Configurable to prevent other players from breaking it to get your inventory first
  • DO NOT USE if you are setting the world to Keep Inventory! It overrides the setting and you will not get to keep your inventory

 

  • JourneyMap
  • Personal favorite ingame map
  • Minimap is configurable
  • Normally JourneyMap would allow you to teleport to any waypoint placed on the map at any time, but Waystones seems to override this for immersion purposes.
  • If using with Sophisticated Backpacks: you will need to remap B if you want to be able to easily open Backpacks
  • If using with Notes: you will need to remap N to use the Notes mod (or choose a different key for Notes)

 

  • Just Enough Items (JEI)
  • Essential for any modded gameplay
  • Tells you the recipe for anything in your current game instance

 

  • Lootr
  • World-generated chests have a gold trim and every player gets the same loot from them
  • Makes it fun for exploration on servers

 

  • Notes
  • Adds a personal Note GUI

 

  • Patchouli
  • I added it because I know it's important, but honestly don't know how to use it.
  • Might be useless in its current state idk

 

  • Sophisticated Backpacks
  • Requires:  Sophisticated Core
  • Adds craftable backpacks to increase inventory size
  • Upgradeable to further increase size and utility
  • I cannot play without this anymore. It is perfect for explorers who constantly pick up all the cool weird stuff they find on a journey.

 

  • Starter Kit
  • Requires:  Collective
  • Fully configurable, allows you to set an inventory for all players upon their first spawn
  • Currently configured to give you an Iron Backpack and a Sleeping Bag

 

  • TrashSlot
  • Requires:  Balm
  • Gives you a Trash Slot on the inventory screen
  • I literally can't play without this thing anymore. It's such a small but incredibly important Quality of Life fix.

 

  • WTHIT
  • Requires:  bad packets
  • Tells you what you are looking at, what mod it comes from, how much health armor it has
  • Can be configured to a toggle

 

 

 [WorldGen]

 

 

  • Biomes O' Plenty
  • Requires:  TerraBlender
  • Adds a bunch of really nice vanilla+ feeling biomes, but not too many to feel overwhelming
  • Personal favorite Biomes mod

 

 

  • Immersive Structures
  • Adds cool "abandoned" buildings dispersed throughout the world
  • A personal favorite, highly recommended for any lightly modded play.

 

 

 

 

  • Waystones
  • Requires:  Balm
  • Adds craftable & discoverable teleportation stones
  • Spawns in every village and occasionally in the overworld
  • Note that the addition of Waystones seems to make the JourneyMap configuration default to not allow teleporting from wherever you want, instead requiring you to be at a waystone and to teleport only to other waystones (or things added by the mod).

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Inter-Mod Compatibility]

 

 

 

 

  • Farmer's Compats
  • Farmer's Delight + Supplementaries + Aquaculture 2
  • If you don't have Aquaculture 2, it will break the knives from Farmer's Delight! Either keep Aquaculture 2 or remove this mod.

 

 

It looks like there's a few libraries that might be leftover from other mods, but I am too nervous to mess with removing them so they're still there. If you are better than me at this (pretty high likelihood lmao) remove them if you know they're totally useless for this pack.

 

  • Architectury API (I haven't the slightest clue what needs/needed this)
  • AutoRegLib for mods by Violet Moon (I think this was from when I had Akashic Tome in the list)
  • GeckoLib (might've been for Alex's Mobs, and anything else that adds new mobs. You may want to keep this just to be safe.)
  • Kotlin for Forge (I think this could be from when I had a few other mods that wound up too much for my computer to handle)
  • Mysterious Mountain Lib (for the Corn Delight addon, but it was one of the first things I removed)

 

 

But anyway, that's it!

 

I'm not a Minecraft expert. I'm not even good at the game. But I do love exploring and discovering new things in games like this, and these mods combined all scratched that itch just right. I hope it works for you too, or that you at least found some neat mods you want to try in your next modded run.
