Yomi
"When the creator goddess Izanami gave birth to Kagutsuchi, the kami of fire. Her husband Izanagi, fueled by grief, marched down to retireve her in Yomi; The land of the dead. The place where all who die make home."
Yomi, also known as the Land of the Dead, is the replacement for the Nether dimension. While being virtualy identical to the Vanilla Nether, the flaming hot visuals have been replaced with a cold blueish-green to personify the world of darkness much more effectivly. This realm is home to many yokai such as the Shikome, Keneō, Okubi, Yurei, Datsue-ba, Wa nyūdō and Katawaguruma. Homes can be found along the Sanzu River containing lost souls known as Shiryō, who will trade and sell valuable Yomi artifacts.
NOTE FOR SHADER USERS: You may have to configure your shaders if you want to gain this misty blue color pallete.
Sanzu River (Nether Wastes)
Soul of Kagutsuchi (Basalt Deltas)
Wisteria Grove (Crimson Forest)
Weeping Forest (Warped Forest)
Ryugu-jo
"Ryūgū is a fantastical palace that appears in many legends and folktales. It is the primary residence of the dragon god of the sea and his daughter Otohime, and is home to the ocean’s royal court. The palace is populated by aquatic creatures who wear human clothing and have a society which mirrors that of the human world." -Yokai.com
Ryūgū-jō is the alternate of the End dimension of this data and resource pack. Replacing the Ender Dragon with the great Sea Dragon known as Ryūjin. One of the more notable changes is that the previous void of the End has been flooded with a vast ocean filled with coral and other ocean life.
NOTE FOR SHADER USERS: I don't recommend shaders for this dimension. A lot of shader packs cater to the vanilla end and often block out the cool skybox.
REVAMPED VANILLA STRUCTURES
Trial Chambers

With the Resource Pack, expect the names for all replaced items/blocks/mobs/biomes in game along with their changes.
EXPECTED QUESTIONS W/ ANSWERS:
"Why can't I craft X?":
Some Crafting Recipes have been changed to better fit the theme or just for QoL purposes. Here are the changes:
Sorry if there is any confusion!
"Why are creepers mice now? They're so small I can barely see them! >:( are you stupid?":
The Kodama Nezumi is a type of yokai that is described as a regular ball mouse that swells up and explodes upon contact. The only yokai I could think of that could be equivalent to the Creeper. Their hitboxes remain the same, however it is now easier for them to sneak up on you due to the dramatic grass textures and their size. To counter this I made it so this mob has the lowest base HP of any mob so you can quickly defuse them when caught. I also lowered their spawn chances to make it less annoying. For you gunpowder farmers, I have made gunpowder a craft able item in response.

"Biome changes have made X block unobtainable.":
With Changes to "western" biomes. Blocks like Terracotta and Cactuses no longer spawn naturally. However, I did make changes that make up for it.
- Terracotta can be purchased in large numbers from the Tinsmith Villagers
- Cocoa Beans and Cactuses can be found in chests in some villages.
- Note: Green dye is now made from yellow + blue dye instead of smelting cactuses.
- All Purpur Blocks can be found in chests in Ryūgū-jō (End City) structures.
- Red Sand can be found in chests of Burnt Plains Villages
"Why should I use the resource pack at all?":
This project was a resource pack first. It became a data pack when I got to the point where vanilla Minecraft wasn't cutting it for the resource pack anymore. So I made this data pack to utilize the resource pack to the fullest. Even if you refute Optifine, I would still really want you to use the resource pack regardless. Playing this datapack without the resource pack would be like watching a movie with a blindfold on. It's over half the experience.
Those who don't use the resource pack are condemned with an eternity of negative wisdom and itchy foreheads >:(
