Introducing Build and Thrive, a modpack that (should) give an use for building

I've always felt that the vanilla game didn't encourage building enough, despite it being one of the oldest mechanics, I tried to fix it with this pack.

Keep in mind that it is unfinished, you can report or suggest anything on the github, discord or even r/BuildAndThriveMC

    Cool ig, but it kinda just feels like “Minecraft but we made it 100x more tedious for realism” from the description

    Very cool pack, I like all the design elements listed. Have you considered letting mobs break blocks on higher difficulties? Or some other way to make it so you can’t just set up a dirt wall day one and be completely safe.

    Not bad. You make some very intentional changes to the game here:

    – transporting water with real physics is a good incentive
    – requiring animals to have grass and room is a nice touch, I am not sure how effectively this is enforced though

    – keeping villagers taken care of is also nice.

    While I like the changes in spirit, I have to wonder if the advanced restrictions really makes it more fun for players:

    – no sleeping – well now you’re just waiting out the night if it’s dangerous, or being shot by a skele while trying to bridge the roof for your house.

    – mobs and villagers – now players have to be more intentional about taking care of them, but is there a nice gameplay curve here? Like can I still get a little bit benefit for low effort farming when it’s early game and I don’t have the resources to dedicate – then do I get proportional more benefits later when I can afford to be intentional about my farms? Or is it just higher barrier to entry and the same runaway value proposition after medium level of effort

    – elytra’s people have kinda tasted the forbidden fruit here, I don’t know how you can still give players the dopamine of getting and using an elytra while keeping it balanced , but its a meaningful question
