Usucha is a work-in-progress, semi-lightweight* modpack centered around the design of the [Matcha Flavoured datapack by klei_wright.](https://modrinth.com/datapack/matcha-flavoured) _*Semi-lightweight meaning there's quite a few mods, but hopefully little to no impact on performance. Most mods are just library mods/dependencies. I may have accidentally gotten carried away._ ## Notes about credit + contact I have not gotten official permission to include Matcha Flavoured into a modpack. That being said, I'm pretty sure the datapack's license allows it. If it's an issue, please contact me via the email address below. # Core principles Usucha centers around **casual gameplay**, playing with friends via **e4all (A fork of e4mc)**, and **taking it slow without compromising on challenge**. Days are longer, twilight lingers, and night can take an unsuspecting traveller by surprise. _(As of Matcha Flavoured 1.10, it's not nearly as surprising (or frustrating), but the balance of mobs is still different enough that you will probably have to get used to it.)_

In-depth description of features/changes (Lots of yapping)

## Progression Progression in Matcha Flavoured flows differently to Vanilla Minecraft. It's no longer a rush to get the best tools, or the biggest mob pit, or the most efficient Villager farm. It's meant to be experienced, not just blown through like routine. This modpack adds on to this style of progression by adding things like **Comforts**, which allows more flexibility in how you set up (or don't set up) a base. It's meant to accomodate for playstyles that are less encouraged in Vanilla. ## Visual enhancements (Kind of?) Matcha Flavoured recommends\* the usage of mods such as **AmbientSounds**, **Better Clouds** and **Cosy Critters & Creepy Crawlies.** Those mods are included, along with **Falling Leaves**, **LambDynamicLights**, **Particle Rain**, **Puddles and Floods**, and more. If shaders are your thing, it also includes **Sodium** and **Iris**, and comes with some preinstalled shaderpacks, mostly on the lower-end side. **Shaders are NOT enabled by default.** If you're really running a potato, I'd suggest starting with the **Miniature Shader** first so you don't crash your game or set your computer on fire or something- It's basically just Vanilla plus some dynamic shadows. ##### \*I swear I saw the recommendation of some of these mods somewhere, but I can't find it anymore. Apologies if I'm wrong! ## Building and farming Usucha adds **Farmer's Delight** and a few add-ons, and also a hefty dollop of **Macaw's building block mods.** This is personal preference on my end as I and my friends like to build, farm, and cook, but these are totally optional and can be disabled before you create a world. **Note:** Some of Farmer's Delight's items clash with Matcha Flavoured's items. For example, there's two types of tomatoes- but one is used in Matcha Flavoured's recipes, and one is used in Farmer's Delight and its addons. I can't really change this as of right now, as Matcha Flavoured's "tomato" is *actually* beetroot in Vanilla, so if you play with Farmer's Delight enabled, be prepared for a little jank. I'll probably try to merge the two types at some point. As far as I know, the Macaw mods don't clash with anything aside from maybe having textures too saturated for the rest of the resourcepack. I'm working on it! ## Multiplayer and personal expression Usucha aims to incorporate proper P2P multiplayer into Java Minecraft without sending telemetry to third parties or pushing you to pay money in a game you've already paid for _(cough cough)_. As of right now, it uses **e4all,** **Skin Restorer,** **Skin Shuffle** and **Cosmetica** to achieve this, allowing for _anyone_ to play with friends. **Lootr** is also installed to allow everyone to get their share of loot. The drawbacks of this approach:

It can seem daunting to someone with zero experience in modding (e4mc and its forks are inherently a little more 'technical' and not very Bedrock-y)
Skin Shuffle makes a copy of your imported skins and saves them in the Minecraft folder, which can be a pain in some circumstances
Cosmetica comes with no preset cosmetics, as far as I'm aware, which means you must model your own or find cosmetics scattered online.

Ideally, I want to make a GUI for e4mc/e4all that would add a "friends" feature of sorts, and allow for easier usage for less technically inclined players, but that's outside the scope of this modpack and won't be discussed further. ### If you want to install Essential, I will not judge nor stop you, but be aware that you MUST uninstall/disable e4all, Skin Restorer, Skin Shuffle and Cosmetica. There are known compatibility issues between Essential and the currently installed mods! ## An attempt at privacy Without pointing fingers, I feel there's no need for "opt-in" to be the default for data collection. I've installed mods such as **No Telemetry** in an attempt to mitigate this. It *does* disable chat reporting, so if you need chat reporting or telemetry for any reason, you can uninstall or disable the mod. ## Accessibilty (Or, currently, the lack of it) While I want everyone to be able to experience Usucha regardless of disability or preference, I've run into a couple snags while trying to implement it. Currently, **Controlify is NOT supported** as it may have a memory leak, or an incompatibility with a mod I'm not able to narrow down. More details are in the "Known Issues/Incompatibilites" section. I apologise!! ## Other misc features I've attempted to optimize some parts of Minecraft itself with mods like **Sodium**, **Clumps**, **Packet Fixer**, **Stutter Fix** and **Language Reload**. I'm not too knowledgeable on optimization or the inner workings of Minecraft, so if these are unnecessary, please let me know. **Polymorph** has been installed while I work out the kinks with crafting recipes, though this may break some aspects of Matcha Flavoured. Quality of life mods like **Xaero's Minimap/World Map**, **TrashSlot** and **Tree Harvester** have been installed, but these can be uninstalled/disabled according to preference.

# Details The pack is currently in Beta, and has a few kinks that need to be worked out. There will be inconsistencies from mods I've added (Stone knives from Farmer's Delight, etc) which I'm working on fixing. A to-do list is below, along with a list of all mods currently installed, and a list of known issues.

To-do

Fix "Watchdog (Client shutdown from post-main)" exit bug
Add more accessibility features (AKA Fix Controlify not working)
Remove stone tools from included mods, replace with copper (Half-done as of 8/11/26, should probably find a better means of implementation)
Custom textures for included mods (Items + extra GUI elements- Looking at you, Trashslot)

Known Issues/Incompatibilities

### Issues

Game does not shut down cleanly, and will log a crash report when closed. ("Watchdog (Client shutdown from post-main)") This is caused by Cosmetica, and I cannot fix it until the mod itself is updated. This does not affect gameplay or data integrity.

### Incompatibilities

Controlify: Will periodically freeze the game when not focused on the window. Seems to work fine if you stay in the game.
Essential: This is intentional.

# Contact If you need to contact me, please email `gabrieldavis21@proton.me`. *P.S.* *Please let me know if I've misspelled Klei's name as Kiel anywhere in this modpack/changelogs. I have a tendency to misremember/misspell their name CONSTANTLY.* *I will NEVER intentionally include a mod or texture that was generated by AI. This is personal preference on my end. If you spot a mod that had some 'help' from an AI agent, please let me know using the contact info supplied and I'll find a replacement or remove the mod entirely.*
