Wild Realism 2

Have you ever wished Minecraft was more realistic?  Are you annoyed that you have to cut down a tree from top to bottom?  Do you ever wonder what it would be like if Minecraft had a more dynamic atmosphere?

If you said yes to any of these questions, then this is the modpack for you!

What it is:

Wild Realism is a modpack consisting of about 20 mods that, together, make a fairly realistic Minecraft experience.  This modpack was originally for 1.12.2, but I updated it to 1.16.5.  It is more optimized with less mods, but altogether a better experience than before.  A great resource pack and shader to use are Patrix HD Texture Pack and SEUS Shaders

What it adds:

- Many new high-quality animals (Alex's Mobs)

- Ambient noises that make the world feel lived in (AmbientSounds 3)

- New fish to catch and eat (Aquaculture 2)

- Monsters don't spawn (Bad Mobs)

- A few new types of weather and seasons (Better Weather - Seasons, Blizzards, and more!)

- Most hostile mob-drops can be crafted (Crafting Mania and Extra Craft)

- A whole bunch of bird species that will make nests and lay eggs (Exotic Birds)

- Realistic animal genetics for most passive mobs (Genetic Animals)

- Cool visuals to help with immersion (Dynamic Surroundings)

- Trees can be chopped down in one click and grow over time (Dynamic Trees)

- Organization and recipes (Just Enough Items (JEI))

- Footsteps (Presence Footsteps (Forge))

- Bees act a bit more like they would in real life (Realistic Bees)

- Improved horse genetic system (Realistic Horse Genetics)

- Better fps and quality (Sodium Reforged)

- Sound muffling underwater and echo's in caves (Sound Filters) 

- Status effects depending on how you eat (Spice of Life: Carrot Edition)

- Temperature, campfire overhaul, and realistic torches (Survival Overhaul)

- Better terrain generation (TerraForged)

A few disclaimers:

1. I am not super experienced with modding or modpacks, so this might not be the best.

2. You can use Optifine and shaders, but be warned that it will require a beefy computer to get good FPS

3. I do not own and am not affiliated with any of these mods, so do not give me credit for any of their content

Finally, I hope you enjoy this modpack.  If you have any suggestions or bugs, please write a comment so I can fix/add it.
