(just read included readme for servers) STOP USING VANILLAFIX AND BETTERFPS WITH RLCRAFT, THEY ARE NOT COMPATIBLE OFFICIAL RLCRAFT WIKI BEING CREATED HERE: https://rlcraft.wiki.gg/ MERCH!! New RLCraft merch has been made, check it out here! https://www.geeksunleash.com/collections/shivaxi This started out as a simple little thing I was putting together for my own server and friends, and since then it's turned into something pretty ridiculous. I've gotten some requests about releasing it as a modpack so here it is. RLCraft, the RL standing for Real Life or Realism and is a take on another mod I made for Unreal called RLCoop that generally has a similar goal, is my interpretation of what I've always wanted in Minecraft when it comes to pure survival, adventuring and RPG, and immersion. I hand selected many mods and individually tweaked each and every one to fit the exact play-style I was looking for, making sure they all worked fluidly with each other, adding my own custom scripts for various changes to vanilla behavior, etc. Bottom line is, this ain't your dad's Minecraft, and you're going to die...a lot. Just be prepared for that. This tends to happen whenever I make mods for any game for some reason...it usually ends up being unfairly difficult. PUBLIC SERVER INFO!

QUICK START GUIDE -Right click to pickup an item you're looking at or crouch to pickup items in a radius around you -Can't punch trees, blocks require their tools for harvest (except weak blocks like dirt, gravel, etc), otherwise won't drop anything -Make flint tools first, get flint from gravel, get sticks from breaking tree leaves, hold flint and right click on a hard surface (stone) to smash flint into flint shards, punch tree leaves for sticks, stick + flint shard on top = flint knife, use flint knife to cut grass, gives grass fiber, 3 gr
