🍃 Above the Leaves
Forget the ground. Forget the rocks. Your survival journey begins high above the world, suspended in a sea of greenery.
"Above the Leaves" is a unique and challenging addition that completely overturns the traditional Minecraft start. Instead of crashing into trees, your journey begins on a floating canopy of leaves, forcing you to adapt, think creatively, and progress using only what the plants provide.
A real challenge: You must always stay above the leaves to survive.
Note:
If you land on the leaves, you will die instantly, as shown in the image.
🛠️ How to Play:
Create a new world by installing the data pack.
Overcome the initial landing on leaves by spawning in a tree.
Build a bridge to progress in classic Minecraft.
