Doves and Cacti is a WIP vanilla+ modpack based around the idea of making minecraft a calmer more slow paced game through an overhaul to exploration, farming, and caving. Alongside this is the addition of new animals and mobs to create a larger more immersive world ingame.
The biggest change in the pack is the removal of the End as a dimension which is done to slow down the game. The elytra, shulkers and Chorus Fruit will eventually be available
The pack features over 20 new crops, 70 new mobs, and 30 new biomes alongside overhauls of existing biomes
