Description:
Welcome back, everyone, to Simple Vanilla Upgrades with its much-needed upgrade: "The Non-happening Update."
The update's goal was to make the original concept of the mod reach somewhat of its true potential, namely, adding small tweaks to the basic (vanilla) game. Tweaks that didn't truly change the core of the game, but were simply added to make the game feel more complete. I know this will sound a little pretentious on my part, but I do think the game sometimes lacks in gameplay and the resolution of certain situations.
With an enormous amount of new features compared to the original mod, the mod now has 16 new tools and items, 3 of them with color variations, 9 craftable blocks, 4 of them with material or color variations, 5 new Armors, 2 new brewing recipes, 1 spawnable structure, many vanilla useful recipes and finally 1 brand new boss mob with 3 variations.
Welcome to the update that I feel Vanilla Minecraft needs, but I know that Mojang will never make, Welcome to the "Non-Happening" Update!
