Windswept tries to carefully implement what I would consider to be a truly Vanilla+ Minecraft playthrough. No crazy biomes, bosses, magic, or tech. Just a beautifully refreshing experience, a thoughtful selection of mods, and a familiar sense of... Minecraft.

You can expect many exciting new features to play with, such as:

Vanilla biomes have been given a fresh makeover, along with a small selection of tasteful new biomes
Wonderful new villages (and pillager outposts) that feel like they fit exactly with the base game.
Structures and mobs have been expanded upon in the Nether, as well as new structures in the End!
Many of the previously outvoted mobs and features, including fireflies, the illusioner, and golems!
Block additions such as new wood types and more vanilla stone variants.
A fancy new End island and lost eyes to find for the portal, making for a truly adventurous endgame.
Fun new additions including but not limited to: healing campfires, additional crafting recipes and smelting options, horse carts, new crops, furniture and decor, and vanilla friendly redstone contraptions!
New combat options brought to life with the Better Combat mod and Basic Weapons, for a touch of adventure.
Increased difficulty for hostile mobs, so night feels like a real challenge again. Don't forget, the harsher the biome, the stronger the monsters! (Be well prepared for the Nether). A campfire or two will be helpful to keep the monsters at bay.
The ESSENTIAL mod and dual horseback riding makes for a fun multiplayer adventure with your friends!
Many more intricate little features to help improve performance and overall quality of gameplay, as well as REI and a highly configurable modlist in the pause menu.

lakrimosa's Windswept has been in the works for well over a year, and finally I get to share it with the world! I hope it brings you many hours of fun.
