Embark on an immersive Vanilla+ journey with Ebon Endeavor, a carefully curated modpack that enhances quality of life, visuals, and RPG elements while keeping the core Minecraft feel alive. Featuring a blend of community-favorite mods and custom touches, it offers balanced progression, dynamic interactions, and a more expansive world to explore and build in. Here’s a look at what awaits:
Quality of Life & RPG Enhancements
-
Farming & Harvesting: Earn experience from farming, with one-click harvest thanks to Actually Harvest. Seasons are introduced by Serene Seasons, bringing crop growth variation, while campfires and beds offer healing, creating RPG-like safe zones. Infinity Mending allows both Mending and Infinity on bows, and crossbows too.
-
Mob Interactions: Villagers are bucket-ready with Villager Buckets, and soul-reaping brings new life to spawners through Soul Shards. Campfires ward off hostile spawns nearby, adding to the RPG atmosphere. Inventory Management: Expanded Storage and Shulker Boxes are right-click accessible from the hotbar, keeping your gear organized and easy to access.
Building & Exploration
-
Resource Efficiency: Amplified Ore Generation increases ore abundance and world height to y1024, with a new sea level at 55 for more dynamic landscapes. Flour Power makes 1 wheat yield 1 flour, and smeltable raw ore blocks reduce time and fuel spent on processing. Amplify your animal farms with the Animal Feeding Trough for less upkeep!
-
Enhanced Visuals: Autumn birches, hazel oaks, Cull Leaves, and the custom Nature’s Carpet pack (which adds twigs and pebbles) bring a vivid, nature-focused aesthetic. Iris Shaders and Sound Physics make your world visually stunning and acoustically immersive.
Adventure & Survival
-
Unique Gameplay Mechanics: Break bedrock in the Nether with TNT for a new building frontier. Budding Amethyst can be silk-touched, and reinforced deepslate is now mineable, bringing ancient city aesthetics to any build. For underwater builders, conduits protect against Drowned, and full-bright toggle helps illuminate hidden depths.
-
Mobility & Teleportation: Enhanced movement includes wall climbing, double jumps, and Vanilla Teleportation Technology (with waystones), making travel smoother and faster than ever. Freecam lets you check builds from any angle, so you never miss a detail.
Crafting & Survival Convenience
-
Durability & Tooling: Pickaxes now harvest glass more effectively, and hoes till and harvest in larger areas. Anvil Restoration means anvils last longer with repairs, and Looting Shears help gather more resources from mobs. Also, tools’ durability displays in tooltips for quick checks.
-
Stacked Drops & Item Management: Stackable drops with Get it Together, Drops! make collecting items less cluttered, and smelting raw ores directly is now possible for a faster ore-to-ingot conversion.
Additional Gameplay Tweaks
-
Better Harvests & Crafting Recipes: Crafting tweaks let you reverse wool to string, make smaller Nether portals, or smelt raw ore blocks more efficiently.
-
Storage Flexibility: Expanded storage keeps your chests organized and Jade lets you identify blocks and fluids at a glance.
Whether you’re seeking an RPG adventure or a streamlined survival experience, Ebon Endeavor expands Minecraft’s possibilities while maintaining its charm. Enjoy the ultimate Vanilla+ experience!
