BASTRCRAFT: Potato’s Refined Survival

Overview

This modpack is centered around vanilla-friendly mods which improve automation, quality of life and performance while being aesthetically pleasing. All mods are selected with Minecraft’s original design style in mind and aim at cutting down on tedious tasks while keeping the initial difficulty fairly high.

Mods

Here are some notable mods which are at the core of this modpack:

Automation

Create is one of the most popular automation mods, providing a unique vanilla+ automation experience. Storage mods (Tom’s simple storage, Sophisticated backpacks) help with organizing your hoarded possessions. And finally, Apothic spawners let’s you tinker with spawners to create truly customized mob farms.

Quality of Life

Many QoL mods are present, some of which are: Corpse mod so your things don’t get scattered when you hit the ground too hard after digging straight below. Nature’s compass to aid in navigating your world a little easier. Hammers, excavators and vein miner, because none of us dad-gamers have time to mine for hours. And Xaero’s map, simply because we get lost too often.

Performance

Sodium and Iris shaders, so the game runs & looks better than ever before. Improvements to mob AI, protection against ticking entities and more.

Aesthetics

Besides the mentioned shaders, there are many small mods which improve the immersiveness of the world or provide pretty decorations. Terralith is the worldgen mod of choice, which can be fully taken in thanks to Distant horizons. Ambient sounds fill in gaps in Minecraft’s sound design, while structure mods improve and add to most aspects of minecraft structure generation.
