This pack aims to improve Minecraft without changing or adding anything too big, which might be out of favor for some. It is a blend of cleaning up some of the mess that Mojang left in the game, consistency and balancing changes, adding more functionality to things that could use them, adding scrapped concept features such as ones from the [Combat Tests](https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Java_Edition_Combat_Tests), and many quality of life features that exist in seperate data packs and mods, now put together into one! **Currently in beta, everything is subject to change or removal** # Changes (Overview) - Adjustments to damage, speed, durability, and other stats of various equipment, so that they are more simple, useful, interesting and fair - Tridents have become more useful and can be found as loot - Elytras are a bit weaker in regular use, but can be used in new ways - Maces have been given some much needed versatility - Rebalancing of many enchantments, buffing some lesser used ones while also nerfing the overperformers, to switch up gameplay meta a bit. Also added some new ones to freshen up playstyle - Changes to hostile mobs, including health and attack balances - Changes to crafting recipes to smoothen progression and make resource usage more fair - New smelting recipes for the furnace, and many recipes added to the other smelting blocks to better encourage their usage - Experience can be earned from harvesting crops, reaching goals, and more ### If any of these sounds interesting, read the details below or give the pack a try! # Changes (Detailed)
