Cube of Thought

This is a light modpack made for a group of friends (Кубът Мисъл) including only the most essential optimization mods along with a handful of visual/audio enhancement mods to make the experience prettier & more fun!

Below is a list of all mods and what they do (for whoever's interested):

Vanilla Tweaks - Website with small additions to enhance the game. Those include a Resource Pack, Data Pack & Crafting Recipes Data Pack: Resource Pack: has 2 versions ->

• Main_DarkMode_Cookies (the way I prefer to play, set as the default).
• Main (with some specific additions separated into individual resource packs so you can add/remove whatever you want).

Note: if something that bothers you isn't removed in Main, you can open the resource pack on the website and pick & choose whatever features you desire.

Features exclusive to Main_DarkMode_Cookies (& separated into individual packs for use together with Main):

• Dark UI - Makes all interfaces Dark Mode
• Numbered Hotbar - Adds small numbers to hotbar slots to make quick switching easier.
• Cookie Hunger Bar - Replaces the default hunger bar with a Cookie icon.

All other features (included in both versions):

• Hunger Preview - Adds info to each food item about how much they fill you up.
• Lower Shield - Lowers the height of the shield so it doesn't obscure a quarter of the screen when equipped.
• Brewing Guide - Adds a picture guide showing the ingredients for making all potions.
• HD Shield Banner Patterns - in Vanilla (the game without mods) the banner patterns get compressed in an ugly way when applied to a shield.
• Clearer Wither Hearts - Brightens the texture of hearts for when the players is withered (as they're too dark in Vanilla and hard to distinguish from empty hearts)
• Visual Waxed Copper Items - Makes copper items that have been waxed easier to distinguish in inventories (in Vanilla the only way to tell the difference between waxed and unwaxed is reading their names).
• Ashless Campfires - Removes the ash pile under unlit campfires.
• Plain Leather Armor - Removes features of leather armor that keep the leather color even when the armor is dyed.
• Unique Axolotl Buckets - Axolotl Buckets now depict the correct color of the Axolotl inside (in Vanilla they depict only pink axolotls).
• Visual Honey Stages - Makes Beehives & Bee Nests show how full of honey they are in 5 stages (in Vanilla they have only an empty & full state which don't represent the actual filling process).
• Sticky Piston Sides - Adds a slime texture to the sides of Sticky Pistons so they're easier to distinguish in tight Redstone contraptions.
• Directional Hoppers - Adds arrow to all sides of hoppers to make it clear where they're pointing, again helps in tight contraptions.
• Directional Dispensers & Droppers - Same thing but for Dispensers & Droppers.
• Directional Observers - Same thing.
• Unobtrusive Rain - Reduces the amount of rain particles.
• Unobtrusive Snow - Reduces the amount of snow particles.
• Unique Painting Items - Adds icons to all paintings in the Creative inventory for easy distinction.
• Colored Ping Indicator - Adds more colors to the ping icon when pressing Tab.
