SpanzelCraft

Time for more things to discover on your adventure! There are now many villages to find, each styled after the biome they are found in. Be aware however, not only villagers are enjoying new locations to house themselves, pillagers have been reported building new watchtowers around the world as well!

And if discovering mortar and bricks (or wood, or mushroom, or ship..) aren't adventurous enough for you, there are now also some new Mythological creatures to find, fight and tame in the world!

World Enhancements

• Mobs of Mythology ► (New creatures roam the land, some tameable and some best to avoid.. a word of caution: keep an eye on your items when Kobolds are near)
• Towns and Towers ► (Adds many different villages styled specifically to all the major biomes)

All resource packs and mods are updated to their newest versions.

This is a rather small update. It adds some behind the scenes mods to improve performance a bit and tweaks some critters that were giving me a hard time; Rabbits now have a bit better pathfinding (they still aren't rocket scientists, but they know how to navigate a one high block at least) and I gave tropical fishies a very much needed chill pill.

Through Boids, fish were schooling rather realistically and darting through the water in groups. That's exactly how I wanted it, until I started putting fish in an aquarium or small pond and they kept on racing at dizzying speeds. So my current solution is to exempt tropical fish from the Boids behavior and they'll now lazily swim around in small enclosures again :)

World Enhancements

• Rabbit Pathfinding Fixed ► (Fixes rabbit pathfinding efficiently)

Technical Enhancements

• ImmediatelyFast ► (Optimizes mode render priorities to the GPU)
• Concurrent Chunk Management ► (A Fabric mod designed to improve the chunk performance of Minecraft)
• Sodium Extra ► (Adds additional bug fixes and performance enhances on top of regular Sodium)

Housekeeping

Fabric has been updated to 0.16.10 and all mods and resource packs are also updated to their newest versions.

Happy New Years!

🎇Hope you all have a happy and healthy 2025!🎆

Added some fun options to help decorate your builds! Turn item frames invisible or pose armor stands, complete with arms, in any pose you want to populate your scenes!

Decoration Enhancements

• Armor Poser ► (Gives a handy interface to pose and toggle parts of the armor stand, just sneak and right click the armor stand)

Updated all mods and resource packs to newest versions.

❄️With the winter Solstice upon us, the nights are long and dark. What better way to brighten them up than with exploding creepers?! Introducing dynamic lights, making everything from thrown torches, charging creepers or aflame skellies light up their surrounding area like they were placed lights!

Now for the more technical, though very cool, addition! After enhancing many animations in-game, someone was always left out; the player! I mean sure, we got sitting animations, eating, climbing, swimming and the like, but it's time for some expressiveness!

Player Enhancements

• Fresh Moves ► (Animates the player character and even allowing for some advanced animated eye movement! Be sure to check out their guide on how to animate your own skin, but don't worry nothing will break if you choose not to animate those eyes)

Experience Enhancements

• LambDynamicLights ► (Makes any entity that is supposed to give off light, actually give off light!)

Housekeeping

Updated all mods and resource packs to newest versions. Except Explosive Enhancements, the beta version crashes the client for some reason, but I'll be sure to keep an eye on it and update once it's stable with the rest of the modpack.

After expanding the world through Biomes 'O Plenty and Wilder Wild, it's time to start populating it with interesting locations!

World Enhancements

• Yung ► (Overhauls many of the existing temples, mineshafts and other structures as well as adding thematic bridges throughout the world)
• Dungeons and Taverns ► (Adds large exciting Dungeons to many different biomes in the overworld, nether and end)
• Snow! Real Magic! & Snow Under Trees ► (Updates snow so it falls, among others, on stairs, grass and fences)

Technical Enhancements

• Cubes Without Borders ► (This is a technical one, but adds the Borderless Fullscreen option to Minecraft)

Housekeeping

Updated all mods and resource packs to newest versions. Disabled Astromech Droids as it broke Fresh animations on the wolves and pigs. It's still there if you wish to enable it.

I've taken this modpack as far as it would reasonably go while still trying to stick to the vanilla experience, but it's time to let it go, and focus in on fun and adventure!

(Let it gooo~) 🎶❄️⛄🎵

We finally get new biomes in the mix in the form of Biomes O'Plenty and Wilder Wild! But not to worry, I've made sure their addition will not break any existing worlds. The new terrain will blend seamlessly at the edges of your existing terrain :)

World Enhancements

• Biomes O' Plenty & Biomes O' Plenty Renewed ► (Adds exiting new terrain to explore and adventure through)
• Wilder Wild ► (Also adds more biomes, and some fun critters to boot like the almighty ridable Ostrich!)

Fun Enhancements

• Fishy's Astromech Wolves ► (Very personal addition, it allows for certain nametags to change wolves into Star Wars droids ^^)
• Splinecart ► (This one is just rediculously fun, a very easy and intuitive way to create roller coasters out of minecarts!)

Experience Enhancements

• Enchant Icons Colorless ► (Swapped the brightly colored version for the colorless. Shows an icon in front of the enchantment to quickly tell what piece of equipment it applies to)
• Lithostitched & TerraBlender ► (Mods that do the heavy lifting in the background to make sure your world blends seamlessly with the new biome generation)

Updated all mods and resource packs to newest versions.

Right on the tail of the snowy Holiday decorations, 1.5.5 turns its attention to the warmest climates of Minecraft. Adding some touches of green in the form of an oasis in the desert and woodlands for the badlands.

Ever wanted to pick your cat off the bed? Wanted to move a chest, but it's filled to the brim? Worry not! With Carry On you can move everything as much as you like!

World Enhancements

• Scorched ► (Adds the occasional Oasis to deserts and forests and solitary trees to the Badlands)
• Fish of Thieves ► (All the fish from Sea of Thieves, right into the Sea of Minecraft)

Experience Enhancements

• Carry On ► (Pick up entities like pets, animals and chests. Even keeps the contents of the chest intact)

Housekeeping

Updated all mods and resource packs to newest versions. Adjusted Carry On config to ignore Toms Mobs, as picking them up would crash the Minecraft client.

The Holiday Season is upon us, so I thought it would be fun to add some festive decorations to SpanzelCraft!

Build snowmen, presents, lights, Christmas trees and much much more! Or simply go sledding with your goodest of boys, there is plenty to discover in this Holiday update!

Holiday Enhancements

• Macaw's Holidays ► (Add craftable Holiday decorations for in and around the house)

Experience Enhancements

• ImmersiveThunder ► (Creates realistic sounding thunder that grows louder the closer it gets, or fainter in the distance)

Housekeeping

Updated all mods and resource packs to newest versions. Holiday decorations are temporary until right after New Years.
