Quick bug fix patch...again. This will be the last update for 26.2, unless there is some major game-breaking bug, I don't want to touch it. I want to work on 26.3 and if a few minor bugs are left behind on this version its fine.

If you want to help build structures for the new update come check out the Github "Builders wanted!" Issue. I look forward to seeing you

Bugs

  • Ramen and Curries can no longer cooked on campfires
  • Fishing Junk LT Fixed (Not for modded biomes)
  • Various earring bugs patched (Im not telling you what they were)
  • Glow Berry Jam and Mash fixed
  • Books no longer turn into angler's almanacs
  • Shields no longer turn into fake warding shields
  • Bows no longer turn into Compound Bow
  • Fox Pelts actually fixed

When you update you will NOT get a message saying "New player has been updated"

This is intentional don't worry

Description from the author on Modrinth

Matcha Flavoured is a datapack designed to reward casual and non-technical players who don't enjoy making mob farms, or engaging in the technical aspects of minecraft. The goal being for casual players, who like to play slowly, to be able to gather the same amount of resources technical players do in the same amount of time.

If you want something chill, use Easy mode, if you'd prefer a challenge, stick to Normal, and don't play on hard.

If you enjoy making mob farms, you probably won't enjoy playing this pack

THERE IS NO OFFICIAL WEBSITE/WIKI/SERVER None of it is mine, matcha is best played without a wiki.

100% Organic. AI free in every aspect

Major Features

  • 12 Food Ingredients now contain special intrinsics (potion effects)
  • ~50 new foods
  • Progression is reworked, with 4 new alloys, Armour and Tool sets
  • Death is no longer as punishing
  • Vanilla equipment has been overhauled
  • Villager trades have been overhauled
  • Special treasures have been added
  • A couple of new enchantments
  • Hunger has been removed
  • Natural Regeneration has been removed
  • Enchanting has been reworked
  • Plenty of secrets and a dash of horror ;)*

*Horror Spoilers

Explicit horror is really only found in villages, in one specific house which is the only one that looks inhabited. There is no jumpscare or anything just a very creepy vibe, and a very creepy guy, that'll go away when you open a door. Some people say the zombies are scary but its nothing like the broken script, trust!

Installation

You might not want to put this into a pre-existing vanilla world, as items have been shuffled around. If you really would like to anyways, that's fine, but you should probably enable cheats so you can fix where things break-down.

If when you reload the game a chat message saying "Matcha Flavoured is now loaded" is displayed, its working, otherwise you've installed something wrong

  • Help! All my items have weird names and only have vanilla textures!
  • This sounds like you have not installed the Resourcepack correctly.
  • Both The Datapack and the Mod version of Matcha need to have the Matcha Resourcepack installed alongside them.
  • Use the most recent Resourcepack version for the corresponding Minecraft version.
  • For example, on 26.2 use the 1.12.3 Resourcepack version together with the 1.12.5 Datapack or Mod version.
  • Help! I can't sprint!/Some recipes are not working!/There are items that shouldn't exist!
  • This sounds like the Datapack has not been installed correctly.
  • If you are using the Datapack version, make sure the Datapack file is located in the Datapacks folder of your world.
  • Make sure there is only one version of the Matcha Datapack in that folder. Have only the most recent version you intend to play on.
  • If you are using the Mod, make sure the Datapacks folder of your world does not have any Matcha Datapack versions in it.
  • Please explain manual installation!!: When you create your world make sure you manually add the zipped Matcha_Flavoured file into the datapacks temp folder (Go to "More" tab when creating the new world, click "Datapacks", then "Open Pack Folder" and drag the ziped file into there) Make sure you move it to the right column labeled "Selected". If textures aren't showing up, add the same file to the Resource pack folder.
  • But I already made a world!/Need to add it to a preexisting world!: Select a world, click the "Edit" option, then "Open World Folder". Select the "datapacks" folder, drag the zipped file into there

UPDATING Just replace the zips in BOTH (RP and DP) locations, it will be fine, the only thing that will (should) break are items not stacking with each other, or a tool/trade not being updated, both of which can be fixed in-game with Amnestics and Grindstone villager. If you see something like "item.kleispack.filler" that means you only updated the DP and not the RP (Or I forgot a lang)

Some Tips

  • CHECK THE ADVANCEMENTS!! They will hint you in the right direction
  • Early-game is harder now, remember to use every tool at your disposal and TAKE YOUR TIME. If you fail to prepare at each tier before moving to the next, you'll wind up with no health at all
  • If you prefer something more relaxed, switch to "Easy" Gamemode. Reload the world, and make sure the chat message say "You are in Easy"
  • Go to The End when you're ready, no need to rush, shulkers are now early-game features
  • Break Spawners!
  • DON'T play in hard until the game PUTS you into hard

Things that will make your experience worse

  • Re-adding villages
  • Villages are meant to be made not found
  • You will feel lonely at the beginning, and that means when you finally make your own village, it will feel so great.
  • Don't rob yourself of that experience. Try it out before you decide it isn't for you
  • Wikis/Online resources
  • Spend some time experimenting and figuring out the puzzles yourself
  • It will feel confusing at first, thats okay, its supposed to be. The advancements are made to gently guide you to your goals.
  • Figuring out how to make your first furnace on your own is a great feeling. Don't spoil that for yourself
  • JEI
  • You can ignore this rule if its isn't your first play through
  • The crafting book gives you recipes when you need it
  • Structure Mods
  • Speedrunning to Diamonds
  • You'll loose hearts very quickly
  • Diamonds should feel special, take the time to enjoy copper and iron. You'll find the game is more interesting that way

Feel free to ignore me, but it won't be as fun, every decision was very intentional. Try to trust me--just for the first play through--trust that I'm not trying to take away your fun. I'm trying to challenge you to do something I think is going to be great.

  • Im stuck in early progression!: Make sure you check advancements and recipes you CAN'T craft. The first thing you should be doing is making a campfire, wooden hoe, and collecting grass to cook. Then you'll be able to make the mudkiln and continue on the path
  • Accessibility!!!: You can change/remove textures in the resource pack. But if you're lazy or scared! I made an accessible version of the RP: Accesible Matcha Flavoured Please read the installation instructions on that page
  • If the true darkness is too dark, go to the DATAPACK Matcha_Flavoured\data\minecraft\dimension_type and follow the instructions.
  • If you need fast leaves go to the Accesible RP versions
  • Or use this: Matcha-Vanilla Flavoured Resource Pack

This Pack was ORIGINALLY Made by One Guy

So there's bound to be bugs and issues I haven’t found. Please excuse my amateur production and if you have feedback or suggestions, let me know here.

Major Known Bugs

  • Keep Inventory not working! On purpur servers (and maybe some other things), keep_inventory is handled per dimension. Set it manually with a command, Ill think about adding something that sets it every time a player enters another dimension.

Special Thanks & Inspirational Artists

*None of these people know of nor endorse me!

Raspmarry

I really enjoyed my time with Raspberry Flavoured. I think the design and attention to the resource economy and progression was stellar. Truly reworking the create mod into a brilliantly designed progression. I can’t give this modpack more praise. Electrum, Shakudo, Hepatizon, and Divine Fragments were directly inspired by this mod; plus much more!

Go check out Raspmary’s modpack here.

JermsyBoy

My resource pack was made to mirror JermsyBoy’s original texture pack as closely as possible. I thought he did great work but unfortunately has since stopped developing the project. Further, the textures had copyright protections on them, thus my pack was made to mimic it whilst still allowing everyone to modify and steal textures as they wish.

His original texture pack.
He also has a youtube channel, and has some stunning builds.

MiziraGamez

Provided a framework for endless repairing (No XP cap).
