FAQ

• Why is this different from the base game?
  • Check the Gameplay Changes section above to see most major changes to the base game.
  • These changes were made to help balance the game and make it more in line with older versions without being too annoying or making certain mechanics useless.
• Why no Create mod?!
  • Create strays a bit too far from Vanilla to fit into this pack in my opinion.
  • I've thought about creating a modified version of this pack with the mod, but if anyone else wants to take a shot at it feel free to.
• How do I disable a specific mod/feature?
  • Individual mods can be disabled in Modrinth by flipping the green toggle off, however disabling major content mods may cause issues!
• Do I have to use shaders?
  • Shaders are optional and can disabled/configured in Video Settings under Oculus.
  • If you would like to use different shaders you can as well, however they may be incompatible with some modded content.
