A Vanilla+ modpack with three goals in mind.

1. Reduce needless grind in Minecraft. It isnt a fast track to the end game, but a reduction to some tedious repetitive aspects of the game that get annoying.
2. Extra adventure. Addition structures, biomes, dimensions and resource packs that add to the experience.
3. Keep that classic Minecraft feel. We know its modded, but this could be in the base game.

All the mods, data packs and resource packs will be listed in the below categories explaining their purpose for being included. You can find information for Previous Versions at the github page.

Current Version 1.0.5+1.21.11 for Minecraft 1.21.11

Reduce Needless Grind

Gameplay Changes

• Quick Right-Click
  Place, use, break. Place, use... break. Place... use.. break. Tired of having to Place, use then break things out of your inventory? Well, now you can right click into the air with your crafting bench to use it! No placing necessary!
  More Blocks!

  This also words with:
  

  • Beds
  • Cartography Tables
  • Crafting Tables
  • Ender Chests
  • Grindstones
  • Shulker Boxes
  • Smithing Tables
  • Stonecutters
  • Gravestones
    Dying sucks, losing your items sucks worse and "keep inventory" is cheating. The solution, graves! Now when you fail to survive, a grave will spawn to keep your items safe for you to find them. You can also craft decorative ones for your pet graveyard.
  • Simple Voice Chat
    Communicate with each other right from inside minecraft! Location based voice communication is now possible.
    More Info & Keybinds

    Press the V to configure Voice chat. You can setup push to talk or voice detection and also configure the volumes for individual players.
    Press the X key to Mute/Unmute.
    Press the G to create and join groups. Groups allows you to communicate without needing to be in range of each other.
  • Zoomify
    Yep... lets you see things further away with the C key. Get it "c"...
  • LambDynamicLights - Dynamic Lights
    Do we really always need to place down torches to see, and waste coal? Not with this mod! Just hold a torch or other glowy items in your hand!
  • Fortunate Ancient Debris
    What's the point in a fortune pickaxe if it doesn't work when gathering netherite? Well... now it does.
    More Info

    Ancient Debris now drops netherite scrap, how much it drops is affected by the fortune enchantment. You can still get the Ancient Debri's block with silk touch. **For Balance:** Because fortune now works, it will take 5 netherite scrap to make one ingot of netherite instead of 4, and you do not get XP from mining Ancient Debris.
  • Trade Cycling
    Everyone rolls villagers to get the trades that they want. Placing, breaking and re-placing their workstations is a hassle. Now there is a button that does it for you!
    More Info

    When you trade with a villager that nobody has traded with before there is now a button that rolls their trades. This is so you don't have to keep placing and breaking workstation blocks. Once you trade with the villager, the button goes away.
  • Scaffolding Drops Nearby
    Do you hate that when you break scaffolding you have to run around and pick it all up? Well now, when you break it all the blocks will drop right where you are! No more running around playing "find the scaffolding".
  • Boat Item View
    Ever try and follow a map or compass while in a boat? Well, now you can continue to see them while the boat is moving! Congrats, you unlocked "holding things in your lap".
  • No Animal Tempt Delay
    Animals are no longer picky about their food! They will always follow you when you hold it, no more waiting for that cow to examine the wheat before deciding to follow you.
  • GravelMiner
    Strip mining and run into a section of gravel. Tired of using the "break block and quickly place torch" trick? Now breaking a block under falling gravel (or sand) will instantly break all the falling gravel (or sand) above it! No torch required.
  • AppleSkin
    Makes the food related HUD show you more information such as your saturation level, and how much hunger a piece of food will fill up.
  • Better Spawner Control
    Is there enough light to keep this mob spawner turned off? Well, guess no more! Places 5 torches on the spawner, four sides and the top, will disable the spawner. No more guess work so you can make your mob farms in peace.
  • Harvest With Ease
    Farming is difficult. First you have to break the crop.. then replant. What if there was a tool to make this easier? Your hoe is now upgraded! Right clicking a crop with a hoe will now harvest and replant the crop for you!
    More Info

    The better your hoe the faster you can farm!
    

    • Wood, stone and copper will harvest and replant 1 crop at a time.
    • Iron will harvest and replant in a 3x3 area.
    • Gold will harvest and replant in a 5x5 area.
    • Diamond will harvest and replant in a 7x7 area.
    • Netherite will harvest and replant in a 9x9 area.

  • Better Statistics Screen
    Now it's easier to find out how many times creepers have snuck up on you!
  • Anti Enderman Grief Now they can't pickup blocks and destroy the environment.
  • Cauldron Concrete Powder Making concrete from powder sucks. Now just fill a cauldron will water and drop the concrete powder (in item form) into the cauldron. It will turn into concrete!
  • Cauldron Mud Nobody has time to stand around right clicking dirt with water bottles. Just fill a cauldron with water, and drop the dirt (in item form) into the cauldron. Now you have mud.
  • Double Shulker Shell Drops Shulkers have two shells... now they always drop both.
  • Dragon Drops Elytra Just like it sounds.
  • Mini Blocks & Mini Blocks: Items Edition Take any block or item and put it in a stonecutter. Now you have a mini version of it to decorate with!
  • Just Mob Heads Now every mob has a chance to drop it's head when you kill it.
  • Cycle Paintings Want a specific painting? Place a painting on the wall, then right click it while holding another painting, to cycle through the options! No more place, breaking, placing, breaking...
  • Silent Mobs/Minecarts Captured Mobs too loud? Now if you use a nametag to name them "silent" they will stop making noise!

Full list of the recipe changes can be found on the Make a Dye Out Of It Wiki Page
• Make Me Shapeless Craft items such as bread, paper and shulkerboxes in your 2x2 crafting grid.
• Better Unpackables This could also go under inventory management. This allows certain blocks to be "unpacked" back into their components, such as turning packed ice back into ice, or Glowstone blocks back into Glowstone dust! For a list of all unpacking recipes visit the Better Unpackables Unpacking Recipes Wiki Page.
• Nether Wart Blocks to Nether Warts This allows converting nether wart blocks into nether warts!
• Craftable Horse Armor Now you can always protect your horse!
• Better Craftables Some things in minecraft should just be craftable or smeltable! This mod adds a bunch of quality of life crafting and smelting recipes.
  View Recipes

Inventory Management

• Smart Copper Golem We love the little guys! But, they are normally so dumb and forgetful.. not anymore! Now they remember what items were in chests they have visited (for a time) and can share that information with other copper golems! (YAY! Teamwork). They can also sort similar items such as different colored wool into the same chest. Enjoy your new smarter but just as cute friends!
• Mouse Tweaks
  Inventory management is a pain. This at least makes it a little more bearable. Using your scrollwheel while hovering over items, will now move them into and out of open inventories!
  More Info

  Better Right Mouse Button: Now if you are holding a stack of items, while the right mouse button is held down, if you drag over a slot multiple times, an item will be put there multiple times. Helps with putting recipes in crafting benches.
  Better Left Mouse Button: Now if you left click an item, and continue holding down left click while you drag your mouse across the inventory. Items of the same type will be picked up and added to the stack you picked up. If you hold down shift while dragging, items of the same type will be "shift clicked". Easily pickup and move items. If you hold down left mouse button without picking up and item, and hold down shift, every item you "drag over" will be "shift clicked".
• ItemSwapper
  Doing a lot of building, with a lot of different blocks? Wish you could easily swap tools/weapons without having to open your inventory? Well now you can! Hold down the R key to open an interface that allow you to swith the block/tool/weapon in your hand from another in your inventory. With intuitive groups, stone blocks will show other stone like blocks in your inventory. Tools with show tools, etc.
• Bundles Beyond
  Bundles are very useful! However, only being able to see the first 12 items in them... that isn't. Now you can see everything in the bundle. You're welcome.
• Peek
  Placing down a shulker box to see what's in it is boring. Now you can however over it in the inventory! Also, why walk around opening a bunch of boxes to see what's in them, now an item or name is displayed on the box in the world, so you can get an idea of what's inside!
  More Info

  Not Just Shulker Boxes! You can also see how many bees are inside a bee nest, or view the coordinates of compases.
  The shulker box will display on it's top the item that you have the most of in the shulker box. No need to place signs or item frames in your storage system!

  Sorts your inventory, so you don't have to!

  Totem's of undying no longer need to be held in your hand to work! Now you can keep holding your pickaxe and your torches!

  This also works to replace tools/weapons when they break, potions when you throw them and food when you eat. Now you can keep just the important things in your hotbar.
• Bundle as Quiver
  Have different types of arrows? Or infinity and only need one? Why take up inventory space! If you have any arrows put them in bundles, you can use them with your bow or crossbow without having to take them out first!

Now.. Where is that again?

• Xaero's World Map and Xaero's Minimap
  See what the world looks like around you, see where you died, find your dog and locate players.
  More Info

  There will be a circular minimap in the upper left hand corner to help you navigate! You can turn this on or off by pressing the Z key on your keyboard. Pressing the M key on the keyboard opens up the world map, allowing you to pan around and zoom in and out.
  By default the map will only show the location of death points, waypoints, players and mobs that are tameable like dogs... so you can remember where you sat them down.
• Locator Heads
  The player locator bar is great... except that you can't tell whose dot belongs to who. Well... Now we put their heads on the bar! It's not morbid it's useful!
• Death Locator
  Adds your recent death locations to the locator bar. Paired with the minimap, you will never forget the last place you failed to stay alive.
• Locator Lodestones
  So... you use lodestones and compasses to keep track of locations. Now you have a bundle of compasses. Wouldn't it be nice if you didn't have to dig through them? Well now, if you carry them on you, they will all appear on your locator bar! Even from within bundles! Hold down tab.. and the name of the compass appears so you can see what it is!
