This modpack aims to be 'Vanilla+', so primarily quality-of-life features have been added, but also some gameplay additions which are in keeping with Minecraft lore.
Here' a summary of the quality-of-life features provided by this modpack.
Wither skeletons have a much higher chance of dropping a wither skull.
Open your inventory to get a sidebar of searchable items and their recipes. Additionally see natural resources and their spawn distributions.
A realtime map to help find your way.
Have a normal compass, but get a compass bar in your UI with distances to mobs and custom waypoints.
Locate specific biomes with this compass.
No timer to get back your stuff.
Lithium is included to speed up framerate. Iris is included along with the 'Complementary Shaders' pack, so if you want fancy current-gen graphics and lighting, you can toggle that on.
Chopping down a tree's logs won't leave leaves in the air forever.
Save a schematic of something you've built in this world or another, and then 'project' it in your current world to show where to build block-for-block. Schematics include an inventory list of materials, so you can mock up builds in Creative mode and then get to work in Survival Multiplayer.
See through portals into the next dimension they go to in realtime.
Here's a summary of the gameplay changes itroduced in this modpack.
When you eat 10 new unique food items, your max health will permanently increase by 1 heart (max 30, or 3x default healthbar). Explore to find new food sources, and farm them to share the bounty with your friends.
Blood moon event prevents players from sleeping through the night, and increases the mob cap and spawn rate of mabs. Harvest moon event increases plant growth and drop rates.
Crafting tables can be pushed by pistons. Items can be pumped into crafiting tables via hoppers. Recipes are automatically completed in this manner and can be sucked out via hoppers on the bottom of the table.
Dispensers can place blocks, feed and milk animals, and till soil. Amethyst nodes can be pushed with pistons, along with other previously unmovable blocks like chests, dispensers, and crafting tables. Chickens can be sheared to get feathers.
Croptopia implements fruiting trees and vegetables into world generation, along with extra higher tier foods and kitchen crafting items to make them. Slab/stair/polished variants of many blocks are added.
For technical Minecrafters, many Carpet commands are exposed to non-operators, such as /profile so you can quantify how much of a burden you are on your friends server.
