Natureal's goal is to provide the modded experience, without going too far. This means everything is immersive and comprehensible in-game. Through consistency and intuition, this mod pack should be enjoyable for all parties!

For example, there's no minimap mod. Or so you may think! You must craft the minimap instead! The same goes for the topic of zoom mods; use a spyglass for that!

This was inspired by Crucial 2's ideology — to keep things vanilla. It's essentially the opposite of mod packs like All The Mods, which condense a ton of vastly different mods into their pack.

This is likely due to Java's GC being run.

This is normal, and can be mitigated by allocating more memory to your client. I recommend 6 GB as a minimum! You can also use flags.sh to generate a launcher profile using Aikar's flags and your specified amount of memory.

No. Nor is this fully* compatible with OptiFine resource packs. Natureal mod pack uses Sodium, Iris, etc.

* Natureal includes a few mods that add resource pack features from OptiFine, but Natureal itself doesn't aim to be fully OptiFine-compatible.

Unfortunately, many of the nature-based replacements for tech mods aren't up to my standards. For example, chest-based storage systems don't have what makes AE2 great in my opinion; crafting patterns. As such, I decided to include a couple of technology mods to fill that gap. The pack's primary focus is still nature, though.

It's your choice whether to use these mods! Alternatives such as Create are provided and supported for those that prefer a more kinetic world.

As for the Dr. Who related mods, they were added by request of the Natureal's testers. Why not?

Press space. 😄

It's a quote from Thom Yorke's Analyze, a song on an album regarding human issues. I felt it was fitting for a mod pack focused on nature!

If you're running a dedicated server using this pack, you may notice multiple quotes mentioning nature in the MOTD. I'm not sure who said these. I just took them from a list I found online.
