Description:

Realistic Overhaul is a modpack you have never seen before. It remakes Minecraft pretty much, making it have something that it shouldn't - be realistic. It was not the original point of the game, but due to community wanting more and more realistic stuff, I decided to go for it and make a modpack implementing these changes.

TO-DO (in near future):

Add Diseases (looking for mod)
More Food & Sea Stuff
Add Pollution (looking for mod)
Wait for True Darkness and Torch Burnout to port to 1.20
Add something similar to Weather2 mod
Make craftings more realistic (especially custom ones)
Make spiders small (KubeJS isn't developed enough for swapping Spiders with Cave Spiders)

TO-DO (asap):

Force First Person (not sure If I can do this without a specific mod)
Remove Ancient Cities
Figure out how to disable monster spawners from appearing in structures
Find alternative for Dynamic Trees

List of changes to the game:

Overhauled food & health system, also added thirst
Deleted almost all monsters from the game, pretty much all unrealistic mobs
Now Survival is harder to start off
You no longer have a GUI in most of the blocks
New recipes have been added to compensate for the lost of monsters (most are temportal though)
New animations and sounds
You can no longer visit Nether or The End, now you decide the "endgame"
New building blocks and physics, build carefully and watch out for unstable points!
You now spawn in a village, rather than appear out of nowhere
Implemented a new day-night cycle, day now lasts 12 in real life hours!
