Half Stardew, Half Minecraft, Perfect Capitalism

Revisit at 4.0.9 version.

Sunlit Valley (SLV) still holds a place in my heart. It's just good pack, care and love. Properly tailor instead of spamming more mods just for the sake of it's popular to lure people in.

Its Stardew Valley (SV) recreated in Minecraft. It's still Minecraft you know and love, but also Stardew Valley.

Your goal is to try to get rich, build your own way of farming and processing while having a clear goal in the quest book to help guide you.

► Gameplay

Instead of mining and making good gear for boss. You are doing just like SV. Spending most of your time in your farm. Taking care of crops and animals, then spending spare time fishing or mining.

Many elements in SL also make it here. Skill, Skull cavern, NPC (still in process) and more, like Slime ranching. Most of the things in this pack run on the day counter, farm, animals, processing. You'll want to manage your time even more than most survival packs "if you like efficiency."

While there are so many things to do, which can feel super overwhelming at first. But just like freedom in SV. You don't have to be the best efficiency to enjoy the pack. There is no rush, no contest and nothing forcing you to play out of your pace.

Combat is very basic without bloated mod (including mob). So, if you are looking for combat intensive, this pack might not suit your taste. I still wish it had a little bit more, but as we all know. Balance combat in Minecraft mod NEVER exists. Either too easy or stupidly annoying (not hard). It might be a better idea to keep it quite bare-bone too.

► Quest

A little guide that includes both helping hand and the main goal of the pack. There is no storyline (yet?) but the author cares a lot to add even art to the book for a more fancy look.

While some sections are a bit lacking and might miss some pieces. But overall, Quest book helps you get used to the pack nicely, not too handheld and not too vague. If you have experience with the pack, you can even skip it completely.

As with SV. Quest book has a bundle (including reward) set as a soft goal to complete the pack and Perfection that have lot of things to do for the real goal of this pack. So you have a clear goal to chase if you need one when you play any pack.

► Downside

This pack is the most need to be a session base instead of drop-in anytime than any survival with day counter pack. Making multi-player or server a bit weird when not everybody plays together at once and can easily miss out a lot of things or huge follow-up.

NPC still needs more work to make it inline with SV. Since author don't want just a genetic one. We can hope for something much more unique, given enough time.

As we also understand that BGM is very pricey to commission. SLV does lack it while playing. Because the author really cares about licensing and actual work without AI. I guess that is why we didn't have other game BGM slapped in this pack or sloppy AI generate one.

Balancing is still a bit questionable. While author try to adjust a lot, some still stand out and some do get cripple for some reason beyond my knowledge.

//---

This is one of a pack that I give it 5/5 or 10/10 easily. I highly recommend it if you like farming, especially farm game like Harvestmoon, Stardew Valley. While it's lacking romance with NPC like those games. But other elements are here to enjoy, and it is still Minecraft, you know.
