My Minecraft mod taking a stab at going back to the game's roots, while breathing new life into neglected aspects.

Have you ever wanted Minecraft to get back to its roots, with that feeling of discovery and unknown, and even sometimes mild horror? Do you also wish Minecraft would have some fresh ideas, or come back to scrapped ideas? Well, this is the mod for you!
Goals of this Mod:
Add losers of past Mob/Biome votes and overhaul the winners.
Reinvigorate and rework neglected aspects of gameplay (e.g. Woodland Mansions, Fishing, Llamas).
Recreate that feeling of playing Minecraft for the first time; when you didn't know anything about it.
Leaning into the mild element of fear present in old versions (e.g. the render distance fog, the sky getting darker in waves, much lower general brightness).
Note: I'm not very good at coding unfortunately, so this is all made in MCreator.
Will be updating to 1.21 and expanding upon content!
