Better Smithing Table does not add new recipes or mechanics but focuses entirely on the appearance of the smithing table interface. The standard window receives updated textures and a more modern design, while the arrangement of elements and the way it works remain unchanged.
Mexican food becomes a source of not only nourishment but also temporary effects in Tacos-mod. A beef taco restores 13 hunger points and briefly increases health, speed, and strength, although it sometimes causes unpleasant effects. Crunchwrap Supreme provides the same amount of satiation but grants resistance, speed, and fire resistance instead of increasing attack power.
Ordinary survival turns into a system of risky extraction raids in Exfil Craft. Players receive a separate, safe home world where they can build a base without the threat of mobs and expand their plot using experience. From there, they can travel to special raid dimensions containing camps, bunkers, structures, and loot.
The ocean gets its own branch of equipment and exploration in Prisma Craft. Prismarine becomes a material for armor, weapons, and tools, while a separate Sea Workbench is introduced for crafting aquatic gear. Underwater hunting centers on a harpoon that can be used to search for and catch new marine creatures.
Lightsabers and Force abilities become a separate adventure system in Light Saber Reforge. Ancient temple structures and underground tombs appear in arid biomes, where hostile Sith spirits can be encountered. Rare crystals, individual components, and even fully assembled weapons can be found in chests.
Survival becomes significantly more demanding after installing Tough As Nails. In addition to the standard hunger meter, a thirst meter appears and must be regularly replenished with water; otherwise, the character suffers negative consequences.
The camera begins reacting to almost every action the character takes with Handycam. Walking and running produce a slight bobbing motion, sideways movement is accompanied by a small tilt, and jumping and landing cause a separate jolt. Taking damage makes the image shake more strongly, firing a bow creates a slight recoil effect, and nearby explosions cause sudden camera movement.
Autumn styling comes to the familiar vanilla world with Default Style Fall. Foliage is recolored in red, orange, and yellow shades, and fallen leaves appear on the grass, making forests and plains look as though the season has actually changed. The grass itself takes on a warmer yellowish tone and blends better with the trees.
Artefactus turns standard equipment items into three-dimensional, blocky 3D models, with a separate theme for each material. Decorative leaves, feathers, Nether roots, and other elements appear on weapons and tools, while some details receive subtle animations, such as moving fabric ribbons or occasional glints.
The underground part of the world gains its own realistic style with Mostly True Beneath. The pack replaces stone, ores, and other cave blocks with 64x textures created from real photographs. The main focus is on deep layers, caves, and underground biomes, while the Nether and the End remain unchanged.
