Minecraft Refreshed Edition is a modpack aiming to "Refresh" Minecraft's gameplay and visuals whilst still staying true to the original game (and maybe bring back some of the older features lost to time).
There are too many tiny changes in this modpack to go over every single one here, but here are the biggest ones:
Feature Update Mods
-
Amplified Nether - DOUBLES the Nether's height.
-
Fancy Menu - Revamps the main menu.
-
Missing Wilds - Adds fireflies, and improves the birch forests adding fallen trees and new flowers.
-
Explorify - Adds brand new structures that resemble vanilla's structure style.
-
Friends & Foes - The Mob Vote Mobs!!
Quality of Life Mods
-
Right Click Harvest - Right click crops with a hoe to harvest and automatically replant them.
-
Crops Love Rain - Crops grow faster in the rain.
-
Continue Button - Join your last played server or world straight from the main menu.
-
Cherished Worlds - Favorite your worlds saving them from accidental deletion.
-
Kaffee's Dual Ride - Have two people on the same horse!
-
Screenshot Viewer - Let's you see your screenshots in game.
And last, but not least...
Parity & Fun Mods
-
Controlify - Adds controller support.
-
Skin Shuffle - Adds a skin gallery similar to Bedrock Edition that allows you to change your skins in game.
-
Comfortable Campfires - Gives you the regeneration effect when huddled around a campfire.
-
First Person Model - Allows you to see your whole character's body (You worked hard on that skin, now you can actually see it!)
-
Sitting+ - Lets you pose and sit on the ground (with special poses when certain conditions are met)
-
Sound Physics Perfected - Adds reverb in caves, muffling behind walls, and more I can't possibly explain (Check out the mod page for more info, I don't fully understand how it works myself, but I love it.)
-
Effective - Adds cascades at the bottom of waterfalls, splashes when items fall into water, biome ambience, and much more.
Those are the main features in the pack, but there are SO many more. Keep an eye out as you play in your world, you'll find a lot more in the pack than this list shows (just a friendly piece of advice, maybe prepare a little harder for the Ender Dragon Fight. Just in case.)
ANYWAYS, there are some features not yet in the pack that are worth mentioning. The following (short) list is features I plan to implement in the future.
Planned Features:
Tutorial Worlds -
- One of my favorite things from the Xbox 360 edition of Minecraft was the Tutorial Worlds. It was an easy way to get into the game and even when you knew what you were doing they were always fun to explore and find new secrets (anyone remember the Stampy's Lovely World replica??). The plan after the release of Refreshed Edition 1.0 is to bring back one or two of the old tutorial worlds retrofitted for the newer versions and also create a completely new Tutorial World from scratch to have a new take on the subject. I'm unsure when this will be finished, but it's on the list of plans!
Minigame Servers -
- My ACTUAL favorite thing from Xbox 360 edition was the minigame servers! Having a button on the main menu to just hop into a dedicated minigame with other people and have some fun (the Elytra one was undoubtedly the best and I will die on that hill) was amazing. This one is a huge maybe, since a public server of this sort would be way out of my area of expertise, but if there would be people willing to help make this possible (helping with builds, datapack stuff, maybe some modding, etc...) it would go a long way to making this possible. I would love to make this happen, so if you're interested, let me know through the discord.
If there's any feedback you want to give about the modpack or if you want to follow along with its development, come join the Discord!
