A selection of mods to play on Minecraft Java.  I created this mod pack to make it easy to distribute to family and friends, though you are welcome to use it too.

The modpack is targeted at making Minecraft more fun for kids aged 8 and up.   You can start with the world being pretty easy - mostly focused on building neat buildings, having a bunch of animals (including baby animals!), variations of armor and trinkets, and only advance to more difficult and immersive experiences if desired.  There was also some effort put into removing annoyances - like limited storage and to make common tasks easier (vein mining, felling a whole tree).

Mods that are fun for younger kids:

• Animal feeding trough
• Bed benefits (heal, remove potion effects)
• Creatures from the snow
• Croptopia
• More Axolotls
• More Babies
• No Hostiles Around Campfire
• Trinkets

Decorations and materials for more interesting building:

• Botany pots (have plants inside)
• Cosmetic Armor
• Dark paintings
• Epic Knights: Shields, Armor, and Weapons
• Immersive Armors
• Macaw's Bridges, Doors, Fences, Walls, Lights, Lamps, Paintings, Paths, Pavings, Roofs, Trapdoors, and Windows
