Really good pack for those who enjoy the vanilla experience but still find it lacking

From my time played (Around 19 hours) Caramel seems to strike a nearly perfect balance between the nostalgic charm of vanilla gameplay and the depth of a well curated modpack. It keeps the familiar feel of Minecraft alive while adding just enough new mechanics, biomes, and progression to make the world feel alive again. And surprisingly, nothing feels out of place and everything blends really naturally with the base game. Performance is solid, stability is excellent, and the mod selection feels intentional rather than overwhelming like other "Vanilla+ Modpacks". If you’ve ever wanted a true “vanilla, but better” modpack Caramel nails that vision nearly perfectly.

Description

NOTE: Currently the modpack seems to freeze on loading on Prism launcher only, CurseForge launcher works fine and we're working on fixing this.

Caramel is a Vanilla+ modpack by Cerulean Studios  that aims to properly embody that term, through thoughtful, integrated, and open-ended additions to the Vanilla game that supplement rather than overshadow it. As far as Vanilla+ modpacks go, Caramel is pretty particular in terms of what fits that category.

✨ Features ✨

▶️ Carefully selected quality Vanilla+ modlist including Oreganized, Supplementaries, Quark, and Abnormals Mods.

▶️ Backports of Vanilla content, bringing Pale Garden & Happy Ghasts, animal variants, Redstone Torch retextures, and Unique Spawn Eggs to 1.21.1.

▶️ Vanilla-style implementations of modded conveniences, such as Spyglass zooming and Map Atlases.

▶️ Mob/biome vote content, such as the Wildfire and the Glare.

▶️ Focus on information accessibility, with unique enchantment book textures, effect descriptions, and many EMI addons to show ore generation and mob drops.

▶️ Custom content to integrate mods together, such as Resnouted Moobloom.

Suggestions are welcome in either the Discord or the comments section!
