Ironwood CottageCore - Lite

Hello Minecrafters! I’ve created a new LITE cottagecore pack for 1.20.1, & I am truly excited to share it with you! This is my interpretation of a Minecraft world in which natural elements, cooking, farming, arcane & light magic, exploring, & building are key ingredients to creating cottage core.  

Ironwood CottageCore (click the name for a link to an intro of Silverleaf CottageCore from which this lighter pack was derived). Ironwood is a lighter combination of my Bloodroot & Elfroot CottageCore mod packs which brings both arcane/dark magic & earth/light magic into play with, of course, various new mods; so, each of these mod packs is unique in their own right. This is basically the update of my Fantasy CottageCore pack from 1.19.2 to 1.20.1.   

This is a lightweight pack with about 230-ish mods and 2300+ quests (& I will definitely be adding more). 

We have some new mods & some of our tried & true favorites in here! We’re going to take a journey through modded Minecraft; of course, there are your typical monsters & scary things here & there as well as fantasy creatures from Monsters & Girls, Grimoire of Gaia, & Feywild to keep with a darker cottage core theme, but, for the most part, we will be able to create a mystic & magical world in relative peace. Hint: You can always place a diamond Magnum Torch in your area to prevent mob spawns. 

Let’s take a journey through our Minecraft worlds & visit all the exciting structures & villages (Integrated Villages & Lios Overhauled Villages), both new & old. We have places to visit from the Let’s Do series, AdoraBuild, IDAS, & exciting new trader structures all set in the gorgeous biomes from Regions Unexplored & Biome Makeover. 

One more thing, while out adventuring, you may come across quest keepers (Realm RPG: Quests & Rewards). They will offer up quests from which you can earn rewards. You can keep track of these quests in your journal. Speaking of journaling, we now have the mod Tide. We will be able to keep track of the fish we catch (50 new fish), and there are also crates you can pull up from the depths. With this mod, fishing isn’t limited to water, but we will also be able to fish in lava! 

Once you find a place to settle in, there are building blocks, decorations, & friendly animals (Polly's Pets, Ylf!) to create a comforting & cozy home (Reeve’s Furniture, Accommodations, Chipped). You will find magical items & even new mushroom & log blocks to include in your space (Productive Trees, Magic Vibe Decorations, Mushroom Fields, & Mushroom Picker). Set up a gorgeous kitchen in which you can create delicious foods to take on your adventures or to fuel your building endeavors (Cooking for Blockheads, Croptopis, Delight’s series). 

While out on your travels collecting materials or gathering new friends (Mooblooms, Ylf, Productive Bees), you will be able to return home through the use of Waystones or use the /home feature. Also helpful for your travels is the use of backpacks & other storage options (Sophisticated series, Tom’s Simple Storage) in which to place your materials. I almost forgot, there are a few collectible mods as well, so make room in your builds for all your knick-knacks (plushies, etc.). 

Of course, what would any magical cottagecore world be without a few choice weapons (Diamethysts!, Epic Samurai) & dark mystic powers (Occultism, Goety - The Dark Arts, Eidolon: Reprised). These are not your only options but just a few to work with if you choose.  You may also choose to delve into earth/light magic with Primal Magick, Roots, or Nature’s Aura. 

Last, but not least, we will be able to visit other worlds to include, but not limited to, the Undergarden & Hanew Village as well as the Astral & Gaia Dimensions (with some tougher bosses). Also, keep an eye out for some special dungeons (Japanese Dungeons & Structures) that may be a little challenging as well as from the mod Unique Dungeons.

I truly hope you enjoy your time in this newest lite version on my take of a “darker” cottagecore. If you have any questions or would like to share your adventures, please join our Discord.
