Where can I find the Add-ons?

Add-ons are the only versions marked as Alpha. Their naming follows a strict format; ### What does the Version Number mean? Add-ons always use this structure: **Add-on-[version number]** Example: Add-on-V3.2 The version number of an add-on always matches the Base Pack version it is designed for. If the base pack is V3.2, the add-on will also be V3.2. ### How do I tell different add-ons apart? Each add-on includes a clear name showing what it adds/changes: **Add-on: [add-on name]** Example: Add-on: Dark GUI

AI Notice

We kinda feel the need to talk about AI usage in our projects. We are against using AI in creative projects, no matter what kind of creativity lies in said project. While we **are using AI**, for correcting grammar mistakes on this Modrinth page, we are **never using AI** in any shape or form in the projects itself or for generating any images, texts or sounds. Or in other words: - Fixing our bad english? -> Yes - Doing literally anything alse? -> Never

Why do updates take so long?

Developing updates for Minecraft projects take time for a reason. Minecraft is an incredibly complex sandbox with near endless possibilities, meaning features need to be tested across many different scenarios to ensure they work as expected. This process alone is time consuming but essential for a stable experience. Beyond that, development is not just implementation, it also involves designing and refining ideas. Creating features that feel polished and well integrated takes time, especially when aiming for a high standard. We also have real life responsibilities that limit the time we can dedicate to these projects. We are also doing this without any compensation meaning that this is not a job but a hobby and we are happy that this is the case. In the end, we prioritize quality over quantity. We would rather release fewer, well made updates than frequent, unpolished ones. We are not Ubisoft or EA
