Mod Description: New Materials

Overview: Welcome to our Minecraft mod that introduces a refreshing twist to your gameplay experience by adding new materials, carefully designed to enhance your adventure while maintaining the essence of vanilla Minecraft. Unlike many mods that clutter the game with instant tree choppers, our goal is to keep things simple yet impactful, ensuring a seamless integration into the core Minecraft experience.

Why This Mod? Many mods flood the game with overly complex tools and mechanics that stray far from the vanilla feel. This mod, however, is crafted to provide a balance between novelty and tradition. It enriches your world with new, unique materials that open up exciting possibilities without overwhelming the classic gameplay.

Commitment to Vanilla Aesthetic: Our mod stays true to the vanilla Minecraft aesthetic by introducing new materials that fit naturally within the game’s environment and mechanics. You'll find no extravagant tools or overpowered abilities here—just pure, simple materials that enhance your Minecraft world in subtle yet significant ways.

Regular Updates: We are committed to keeping the mod fresh and exciting by adding new materials with every minor Minecraft update (e.g., from 1.21.4 to 1.22). This ensures that the mod evolves alongside Minecraft, providing new content for players to explore with each update.
