All About the Project:

This project adds small, carefully chosen mods that make vanilla feel new again. Nothing here breaks the game or changes progression — it simply adds to what’s already there! These mods focus on subtle improvements: better visuals, smoother UI, smarter quality‑of‑life tweaks, and tiny world details. For example: Continuity — adds connected textures so blocks like glass and bookshelves, look cleaner and more natural.
