Verdant Shell Edition
Verdant Shell Edition is data-resource-pack based off of Matcha Flavoured 1.12. The goal of this datapack is to overhaul the game progression to be more rewarding while also making several changes to core gameplay mechanics in order to be less frustrating, less dependant on rng to progress and to make the game more challenging by making the selected game difficulty more meaningful.
