Minecraft is a game about creativity; making grand cathedrals and redstone computers, bending the world to your will. The survival mechanics from ten years ago can feel like a chore. **Dolt Modpack How** seeks to alleviate the bureaucracy of survival by simplifying progression and reducing tedium. ![Dolt Modpack How](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/ce441ce40be604df68563e4eaadcccdb8604bb58_0.webp) --- ## Getting Started Wooden tools are gone! Stone is now the first tier in progression. To account for this, stone can now be mined with your bare hands. If you find a boulder, you can craft a stone pickaxe. It turns out that **Copper** tools exist. **Blaze** materials are no longer a progression bottleneck. **Ender Eyes** are now crafted using diamonds, and **Brewing** no longer require nether fortress content. I tweaked many recipes. Check **EMI** if a recipe doesn't work as you think it should. --- ## Sidequests In Vanilla, the End Poem appears after you beat the Ender Dragon, signifying the completion of Minecraft's mainquest. Dolt Modpack How removes the end poem, because it's a modpack about **Sidequests**! In Dolt Modpack, the Ender Dragon is an optional boss that you can defeat for XP, [renewable diamonds](https://modrinth.com/mod/diamond-in-the-rough), and access to the outer end islands. She is a small part of Dolt Modpack's vast interdimensional ecosystem which you can disturb if you are a terrible person! [Mowzies Mobs](https://modrinth.com/mod/mowzies-mobs), [Species](https://modrinth.com/mod/species), and [Galosphere](https://modrinth.com/mod/galosphere) also add [powerful](https://mowziesmobs.fandom.com/wiki/Frostmaw) [hostile](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZUNpWSHTwE) [entities](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bOOWXW5PUo) to defeat, and none of them are more essential to progression than any other. If you're not in the mood for violence, [Exposure](http://modrinth.com/mod/exposure) lets you take photographs, [Farmer's Delight](http://modrinth.com/mod/farmers-delight) ([a](http://modrinth.com/mod/brewin-and-chewin)[n](https://modrinth.com/mod/farmers-respite)[d](https://modrinth.com/mod/nethers-delight) [c](https://modrinth.com/mod/abnormals-delight)[o](http://modrinth.com/mod/dungeons_delight)[.](https://modrinth.com/mod/delight-o-flight)) lets you master cooking, and [Create](http://modrinth.com/mod/create) makes the world less rigid and lets you make windmills. [Clayworks](https://modrinth.com/mod/clayworks), [Woodworks](https://modrinth.com/mod/woodworks), [Dye Depot](https://modrinth.com/mod/dye-depot), and [Supplementaries](http://modrinth.com/mod/supplementaries/) are here to spice up your building palette. --- ## Removals Many legacy (and new) features encroached on the Minecraft sandbox experience™ and have since been Removed (in a remarkably [Reliable](http://modrinth.com/mod/reliable-remover) manner), like **Wooden Tools** above. **Bowls** have also been removed. They put a strain on your inventory that remanifested every time you ate. Foods served in bowls no longer require bowls in their recipes. To balance for Geophilic’s overgrown foliage, grasses no longer drop wheat seeds unless broken with a hoe. Moss Carpets only drop when broken with shears. The most noticeable removal is **hunger**! Food now gradually heals you for their nutrition. If you don’t take damage, you never need to eat. --- ## Exploration Mods like [Atmospheric](https://modrinth.com/mod/atmospheric), [Environmental](https://modrinth.com/mod/environmental), and [Spawn](https://modrinth.com/mod/spawn-mod/versions) adds loads of eclectic biomes to the game. [Geophilic](https://modrinth.com/mod/geophilic) touches up vanilla biomes and brings them up to scratch with modern minecraft! [Natural Temperature](https://modrinth.com/mod/natural-temperature) ensures that biomes can be found consistently. Traveling west or eastwards leads to biomes with similar climates. Traveling north and south leads to new climates. Abandoned mineshafts and dungeons might contain **maps** which lead to rare structures like Ancient Cities or Spectralibur Chambers. --- ## Death When you die, a Totem of Holding will appear to hold on to your items for safekeeping. They are lavaproof and will rise up from the void to meet you! **Recovery Compasses** are now much cheaper, and can be **locked** via right click. Recovery compasses are crafted with 4 bones and 1 spider eye.

--- ## Inventory All items now stack to 100! Bring a **bundle** to collect loose plant specimen, and a **Packing Container** for mining sessions in the quarry! **Backpacks** can be crafted with leather and diamonds. They can double the size of your inventory if you don’t mind losing your chestplate slot. Bundles can contain any variation of 100 items. Packing containers can contain 800 of 1 item. Backpacks give you 3 extra rows of inventory slots.

--- ## Enchanting Enchanting has been [overhauled](https://modrinth.com/mod/immersive-enchanting) [twice](https://modrinth.com/mod/doltastic-enchantments)! **Ancient Books**, nonconsumable enchanted books, are found littered throughout the world. XP is used for enchanting, but is easier to come by. Leveling up takes a flat 35 XP with **no scaling**. With this metric, it takes 20% less XP to get to level 30 than in vanilla. Placing Ancient Books into Chiseled Bookshelves next to an Enchanting Table will enable you to enchant items with the book's enchantment!

--- ## Tedium We add a ton of QOL tweaks to vanilla. Here are just a few: - farmland can no longer be trampled. - Bookshelves and glass drop themselves without needing silk touch. - Stairs and slabs can be crafted in the 2x2 crafting grid. - Blanket durability increase to every tool. ...and much more to discover on your own! --- ## Integration Every item in every mod has been weighed against each other and exhaustively integrated into a cohesive whole. [Dolt Mod How](https://modrinth.com/mod/dolt-mod-how) fills in inter-mod content gaps. Content overlaps have all been dealt with. Items have been combed over and integrated with with other mods. Modded items with conflicting use cases have been cut; **Enderman Heads** from supplementaries were kept over Quark’s Ender Watchers. --- # CREDITS - Dolt: (me) - PoulpoTheOctopus: Feedback, Extensive QA testing, Suggestions, Love - Lucy Lucy, for making several modded materials trimmable - Fuzs, for the skull Recovery Compass texture from his [old mod](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/death-compass-fabric) - Mloren0 from [Enchanting Revised](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/enchanting-revised) for the enchanting table retexture - Shoutout to the regulars in MathSMP: ushank, water ore, tianyulong, aeternal, carmen, hibby, apocip - My goat EvanBones for porting all the mods - Team Abnormals, Peculiar Room, Vectorwing, Umpaz, Tutta, Alexander, Team Galena, Jaden, Mowzie, Mortusaar, MehVahd, and Moonflower, for making some of my favorite mods in this pack
