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 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)
