Enjoy player-built settlements, unique crafting recipes such as waystones, server events, extra fishing features, and more! What is Matcha Flavoured? Matcha Flavoured is a datapack that revitalizes MC by changing several key features. It aims at slowing down early progression and rewarding players for approaching the game how they want to play instead of mob farms being the best and only way to farm resources. Some key features: Simple Voice Chat mod (optional) Fully plug and play! No datapack install is needed. Cushions, Dapple Forests, and other Minecraft 26. 3 features are in! Keep inventory is on. Instead, you lose hearts on death, down to a minimum of 8 in early game, and you can increase your hearts up to 30! Hunger and healing have been reverted to Beta version of Minecraft Mobs are lower health but more interesting! Zombies run faster and spiders spit webs Goodbye potion system, hello cooking! Eat a raw ingredient for a short lasting effect or use it in a recipe for a stronger effect! 6 new fishing rods and over 40 new fish to find across twelve different fishing biome clusters! Unique Gear with special intrinsics! Reward and world changes upon defeating the ender dragon Player shops Individualized loot chests And more!
