Naturally Expanded (Neoforge)

This modpack is built around the idea to expand vanilla, not to replace it.

Every mod in this modpack was collected to make minecraft feel like the basic vanilla minecraft we all know and love, just pushed further. The goal isn’t to overwhelm you with chaos or turn Minecraft into something unrecognizable. It’s to take that classic survival experience and add to it.

SHADER COMPATIBILITY! Love playing with neoforge mods, but hate having to use outdated loaders to get the look you want? That’s not a problem anymore, just use Iris! (included in the modpack)

World generation has been slightly changed while staying true to vanilla’s identity. Biomes now have patches of different terrain; forests have patches of gravel and podzol, snowy valleys have foliage, and mountains have rocks shaping their bumpy peaks. These are only a few examples, the terrain has been greatly expanded on in many other ways aswell. For example, under the surface caves are brand new, with their own biomes, and new ores, but still keep that vanilla feel with old generation.

Combat and progression have been massively expanded and improved with over 10 new weapons. All of which are compatible with the better combat animations, giving life into even just swinging an axe. From early-game survival tools to powerful late-game gear, there’s a huge variety of options without turning the game into an RPG overload. The weapons added don’t feel out of place, They feel like natural extensions of what Minecraft combat could have become.

The world is also far more alive and dangerous, thanks to 25+ new mobs that integrate seamlessly into different environments. Monsters have every single biome variant. All of the forgotten mobs from the mob votes are now back and better than ever, not to mention mobs that aren’t from mob votes that are totally new. But don’t worry, all added mobs are animals that fit the theme of Minecraft, and are in the Minecraft style. No out of place bosses, etc.

Progression has also been enhanced with new advancements and items that encourage exploration and experimentation. Not only that, but a skill tree with upgrades from jump boosts to extra hearts.

This modpack offers a fully emmersive experience, with better camera movement and an even better first person.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO PLAY WITH THE FRESH ANIMATIONS RESOURCE PACK (also included in the modpack)
