Fruit-themed cows return as a standalone mod in Modern Apple Cows. Three varieties appear in the world: the regular apple cow, the golden apple cow, and the rare enchanted golden apple cow. They all have different appearances and their own animations, including the ability to lie down and sleep during the day.
Seven varieties of rideable birds appear in the world with Chocobo Whistles. Yellow, white, black, red, blue, green, and pink chocobos can be found in the wild, and they must be fed Gysahl Greens to obtain colored feathers. Gysahl seeds can be found in chests and then grown like a regular crop.
Standard enemies become much more dangerous after installing DarkMobs. The mod reworks mob attributes so that ordinary encounters require more attention to distance, attack timing, and chosen equipment. Creatures may have increased health and damage, and some gain additional abilities.
Rivers begin following the terrain in Streams Reflowing. Water flows downhill from higher elevations, forms cascades, collects in lakes at different heights, and eventually makes its way toward the ocean. The current can carry items and boats, and when water falls over ledges, it retains its speed instead of instantly turning into a calm pool.
Witches Drop Blaze Powder changes just one loot table but has a noticeable effect on obtaining certain resources early in the game. After installation, witches have a chance to drop blaze powder upon death, so a small amount of this material can be obtained without necessarily hunting blazes.
More than 240 additional slabs are introduced in the More Beautiful Slabs building collection. Rather than relying on a fixed set of textures, the mod can take the appearance of existing full-sized blocks, allowing the new variants to automatically retain the style of the installed resource pack.
Gradual weapon upgrades form the foundation of DarkBlades. Progression begins with simple items such as the Dark Wooden Sword, after which equipment is improved step by step until reaching the Dark Netherite Sword and endgame gear. The first key resource is the Dark Core, which starts the entire progression chain.
A volumetric atmosphere and a reworked sky define the style of Aetherial Shaders. The shader adds soft haze and spatial fog, allowing distant objects to gradually fade into the air and better conveying the scene's depth. The sun receives its own visual design with bright effects, while lighting in different biomes becomes more expressive.
Boralances Shaders builds its visuals around realistic light behavior. Surfaces respond differently to lighting, and reflections depend on the material, making stone, water, and other blocks appear more natural. Bodies of water reflect the sky and surrounding landscape in real time, maintaining a clear surface without excessive stylization.
Cartoon stylization forms the basis of Funilla Shaders. Cel-shaded outlines emphasize the shapes of blocks, mobs, and items, creating the effect of hand-drawn animation. Soft volumetric clouds fill the sky, while daytime lighting takes on warm, cheerful tones.
