MASTERmaxi's Vanilla+

A vanilla-friendly overhaul mod introducing new biomes, majestic wildlife, rich building blocks, an integrated Back Slot & Backpack system, and a complete overhaul of ranged combat.

Features at a Glance

Reimagined Savannas & New Biomes

• Savanna Overhaul: Open grasslands, towering baobabs, natural mud pools, and Mudstone rock pillars.
• Rusty Savanna: Iron-rich red soil plains dotted with sweet melons, wildlife, and thorny Redthorn bushes.
• Scorched Savanna: A harsh, sun-baked wasteland pocket filled with dry acacia skeletons, lava fissures, and mineral-dense mudstone formations.

Wildlife & Living Ecosystems

• Ostriches: Swift, flightless birds that naturally prey on termite mounds. Tame them with glistering melons, equip a saddle, and take advantage of cliff-gliding and high-speed water running!
• Termites & Mounds: Natural colonies that tunnel through soils and wood. Introduce ostriches to keep them in check, or harvest mounds for furnace fuel.
• Muddy Pigs & Truffle Foraging: Pigs now have a Happiness system! Let them wallow in mud pools (sporting mud coats and blooming mud-top variants), feed them, and watch happy pigs root through the soil for rare culinary Truffles.

Flora, Building & Savanna Cuisine

• Baobab Trees: Huge ancient trees featuring a dynamic budding-flowering-fruiting canopy cycle. Pick fresh Baobab fruits right off the leaves without harming the tree! Includes a complete new woodset.
• Savanna Delicacies: Brew energizing Gui Juice, bake Monkey Bread, simmer hearty Baobab Stew, or prepare Truffle Porkchops that bestow Haste.
• New Blocks & Stones: Mudstone (and bricks/polished forms with Stonecutter support), Red Soil, Laterite, and bouncy Feather Blocks that cushion long falls.

🎒 Back Slot, Backpacks & Quivers

Powered by the Accessories API, enjoy dedicated back-mounted gear without sacrificing your chestplate armor!

• Elytra Flight with Full Armor: Place your Elytra directly into the dedicated Back Slot to soar through the skies while keeping your chestplate equipped!
• Backpack Tiers:
• Leather Backpack: 9 slots + 1 upgrade slot.
• Iron Backpack: 18 slots + 1 upgrade slot.
• Iron Backpack with Quiver: 18 slots + 2 upgrade slots with integrated arrow storage. Reversible back into a separate backpack and quiver at any time!
• Netherite Backpack: 27 slots + 3 upgrade slots (completely fireproof and lava-immune).
• Ender Backpack: Seamlessly synchronizes with your personal Ender Chest inventory + 3 upgrade slots.
• Functional Upgrades: Expand your backpack with an on-the-go Crafting Table, dynamic light Lanterns (with LambDynamicLights support), portable Jukebox, or an item-attracting Magnet.
• Deployable World Entities: Open your worn backpack instantly with B, or deploy it into the world as a physical 3D block-like entity with V (Shift + Right-Click).
• The Quiver & HUD: Holds up to 3 stacks of arrows/bolts with priority feeding when shooting, complete with a sleek on-screen HUD ammo counter.

🏹 Ranged Combat, Ammunition & Optics

Ranged combat has been expanded with distinct heavy gear, specialized ammunition, and modular attachments:

• Heavy Bows: Slower pull time delivering high-velocity, extended-range projectile volleys.
• Crossbow Evolution: All crossbows now fire Bolts instead of arrows! Upgrade your arsenal to high-tier Iron and Nether Crossbows for superior stopping power and pinpoint accuracy.
• Prismarine Arrows & Underwater Archery: Shoot through water without stalled drag (0.99F water drag)! Craft standard and heavy Prismarine Arrows featuring custom 3D tips.
• Modular Attachments:
• The Viewfinder: A brass & amethyst optic that works as a compact handheld spyglass or mounts onto crossbows for precision zoom aiming with camera damping.
• Prismarine Arrow Rest: Mount onto any bow to stabilize and enable shooting aquatic Prismarine Arrows.
• Pyrotechnic Tube: Mount onto any crossbow tier to unlock loading and launching explosive Firework Rockets!
• Heavy Arrows & Tipped Ammunition: Craft heavier arrows using iron nuggets and ostrich feathers, or brew tipped bolts for tactical potion debuffs.

🎯 Functional Fletching Table

Give the vanilla Fletching Table the purpose it always deserved!

• Interactive Station: Open an authentic workstation GUI with persistent internal storage.
• Attachments & Upgrading: Freely mount or detach Viewfinder scopes, Pyrotechnic Tubes, and Prismarine Arrow Rests while preserving your enchantments and custom anvil names.
• Blueprint Schemes: Discover ancient weapon schematics in dungeons, shipwrecks, and nether structures to forge advanced military-grade bows and crossbows.
• Batch Ammo Crafting: Quick, convenient fletching for standard arrows, heavy arrows, prismarine arrows, bolts, and tipped munitions.
