Goosker's Medieval Modpack

Summary

Re-experience Minecraft for the first time.

This is an expansive, yet simple medieval RPG modpack carefully curated to not be overwhelming and stay true to the vanilla feel. No spawning in with 5 books in the hotbar; no spending hours rebinding 100 keybinds. Just a beautiful rendition of what vanilla Minecraft does best but with the same immense exploration as games like Skyrim, bundled with all of the quality of life game mechanics as Hytale.

Disclaimer

This project runs on Java 21 only, the default for Fabric 1.20.1 is Java 17, you will need to manually change this to boot up the pack, but after that playing it should be hassle free. See "How to Play" below!
