Mods

Added

• Bobby
  Allows the client to have a greater render distance than the server. Added to give players more control over their game.
• Cool Rain
  Added for immersion and a nicer rainy Minecraft experience.
• Rascal's Field Guide
  Provides the guidebook for this modpack.
• Rebind Narrator
  No more accidentally hitting the narrator key. It has been disabled by default.
• Resource Pack Overrides
  Added to help maintain the long list of resource packs, and provide a default list.
• SleepWarp (Updated)
  Simulates passage of time while sleeping
• Void Totem
  Adds a new totem which protects the user from falling into the void.
• What Are They Up To (Watut)
  Added to provide a more lively multiplayer experience.
• Zombie Awareness
  Zombies, skeletons, and other mobs now react to sound, light, and even blood trails. Added to provide a unique challenge with more dynamic mob AI.

These dependencies were also added:

• CoroUtil
• Lavender
• MidnightLib
• Monkey Utils
• Prickle

Removed

• Bottle Your XP
  Removed since the mechanic was quite clunky, and often players would accidentally store their XP whenever trying to use bottles.
• Cull Less Leaves
  Removed due to compatibility issues with Sodium.
• Draggable Lists
  Removed due to compatibility issues with Resource Pack Overrides.
• Dyed
  Removed because no one uses leather horse armor.
• Factions
  Removed as it did not fit the vanilla gameplay experience.
• Indium
  Integrated into Sodium and no longer needed.
• VanitySlots
  Removed since this mod migrated to Accessories, which has compatibility with Trinkets but it becomes a confusing experience with both present.

These unneeded dependencies were also removed:

• CIT Resewn
• Geckolib
• Kambrik
• Symbols 'n' Stuff
• Sushi Bar

Replaced

• Hide Experimental Warning -> Disable Custom Worlds Advice
  Swapped to the more popular version.
• Slime -> Slime Amulet
  Replaced to provide a more gameplay-focused way to locate slime chunks, rather than a command.
