Only Cozy Things – Lite

UPDATE: Added a few mods that are more quality of life. One of which is the Simply Improved Terrain mod. It smooths out the world generation and provides better travel by foot and large flat areas for farming are more common. There are less ravines and caves dicing up the landscapes too. It looks pretty nice without losing the genuine Minecraft world feel.

This mod pack is about being cozy and enjoying a wholesome/humble Minecraft experience.

The year is 2024. The factories have all been built in the sky, the beast has been fed, PH1LZA finished all the megastructures, Dream has finally escaped, and JonBams is barred from the nether after recent legislation ruled that the nether shall become a nature preserve. It’s time to relax and retire. Cozy up and have some tea, coffee, beer, wine, whatever you choose to make. Build anything without worry, monsters are driven deep underground and the surface is free of harmful mobs.

I’m working on a little mod pack with all the cozy easy-to-play and fun-to-do mods like Pam’s Harvest, tea brewing, beer making, wine making and vinery, Chisels and Bits, a bunch of furniture and farming mods, Hats, Joy of Painting, and even the Make Music mod. It has Distant Horizons installed just for landscape vibes and has peaceful recipes for all the mod drops so crazy contraptions and mob farming are unnecessary. Big cozy villages too, with lots of villagers with additional jobs and resources, and they look better with the Better Villages mod. In a nutshell, a modpack for anyone wanting that super wholesome MC experience that is ultimately stress free.

It has a humble start. I installed Distant Horizons out of curiosity and fell in love with Minecraft again. I wanted to make a house and watch the sunsets over the land I explored. I felt connected to my house and I wanted to play more again but I didn’t want to do the normal minecraft route of slaying the dragon and doing all that stuff basic path stuff. After the years, it’s grown boring to me. The factory modpacks feel like doing real science now and I often mess things up or get frustrated. So with this pack, I just started adding mods I thought would add to the cozy experience. I did some searching and researching and tried to put together a little pack and took ideas and suggestions from other modded Minecraft players.

I say this is Lite because it’s incomplete and I don’t know what to add as far as optimization and quality of life stuff. Any suggestions is happily welcomed. Also, if you need a pet project, I don’t claim sole ownership or anything, so if anyone wants to take over and make it bigger than I could, please do. I’ll butt out. I don’t have a NASA computer and I don’t even run MC with smooth shadows, so no shaders can be tested on my end. I’m still looking for a cozy af GUI pack to go with the feel and presentation of the pack. It’s a work in progress.

Thoughts and feedback is welcome. Thanks for checking this out.
