Enhancer

What is Enhancer?

Enhancer is a package of features that improve the base game experience without adding new dimensions, bosses, armor and weapon sets, or mobs. Almost all additions are created to give extra uses to existing, near-useless items.

It also includes a lot of generation changes and a bit of rebalancing. The mod is made to feel and look like vanilla; for when you want something new, but don't want to spend a dozen hours on a wiki.

This mod also works as an addition to nearly any modpack: it doesn't conflict with anything, nor is it 'invasive': If you don't want to look for features from the mod, they're never shoved in your face. Below is a complete list of additions and changes the mod introduces; for further details, see the changelog.
