Discreet Branches

Discreet Branches

There's something... wrong in this world.
It seems almost empty.
What happened to its wildlife?

Some Changes

• Neither animals nor structures spawn here, so killing and pillaging are not viable methods of getting food.
• Sleeping doesn't skip the night, it just makes it 8x shorter with the cost of unforseable consequences.
• There are new tools, armor and tiers: wooden (only tools), stone (only tools), copper (+ lapis-lazuli), iron (+ emerald), gold (+ redstone), diamond (+ quartz and netherite).
• Added 10 new foods.
• Changed the recipe of some items such as anvils and rails (both now use copper).
• Simpler enchanting sistem.
• The amount of ores increases the further down you go.
• In the Overworld, some biomes were modified (e.g. Windswept and Old Growth biomes, Desert, Savanna Plateau etc.), and some were included (Nest biomes and Frozen Sky).
• The Nether received a generation overhaul, including:
  • a new biome,
  • increased world height to 192 blocks,
  • 1 new ore
  • and water: yes, you can now place water in the Nether! But it can be poisonous, so be careful.

Creatures

• Your new enemies are only visible through particles, so be aware of your surroundings and any noises you hear.
• Tall flowers, crops and amulets can be used to "reveal" enemies (make them slightly more visible and less resistant).
• They can break blocks you placed when unrevealed (such as stairs, slabs, redstone related blocks, doors, trapdoors etc.).
• Some enemies may drop totems, serving as bonus attributes.

A Change of Pace

The two things this datapack offers the most is a greater focus on farming (for food and safety) and a new ambience of the unknown, with 30 new and uncanny remixes, invisible monsters that will hunt you down and much more to come.

Recommendations

Do not use this datapack in a previously generated world, as it changes a lot of the world generation.

Planting crops in alternating rows can boost their growth speed. (Minecraft Wiki trivia)
