From Modrinth

Reworks minecraft's gameplay to benefit slower, less technical players

Minecraft Matcha Flavoured - A datapack designed to reward casual players. No more mob grinders, xp farms, or villager torture chambers

Matcha Flavoured is a datapack designed to reward casual and non-technical players who don't enjoy making mob farms, or engaging in the technical aspects of minecraft. The goal being for casual players, who like to play slowly, to be able to gather the same amount of resources technical players do in the same amount of time.

If you want something chill, use Easy mode, if you'd prefer a challenge, stick to Normal, and if you want to pull your hair out and scream, play on Hard c:

If you enjoy making mob farms, you probably won't enjoy playing this pack

The discord link provided is not my own, but I like the people running it, feel free to join them. I'm sure you'll have a blast. And of course, they can help you with questions (though I encourage you to try and figure things out yourself c: )

*Horror Spoilers

Explicit horror is really only found in villages, in one specific house which is the only one that looks inhabited. There is no jumpscare or anything just a very creepy vibe, and a very creepy guy, that'll go away when you open a door. Some people say the zombies are scary but its nothing like the broken script, trust!

Installation

You might not want to put this into a pre-existing vanilla world, as items have been shuffled around. If you really would like to anyways, that's fine, but you should probably enable cheats so you can fix where things break-down.

If when you reload the game a chat message saying "Matcha Flavoured is now loaded" is displayed, its working, otherwise you've installed something wrong

  • Help! All my items have weird names and only have vanilla textures!
  • This sounds like you have not installed the Resourcepack correctly.
  • Both The Datapack and the Mod version of Matcha need to have the Matcha Resourcepack installed alongside them.
  • Use the most recent Resourcepack version for the corresponding Minecraft version.
  • For example, on 26.2 use the 1.12.3 Resourcepack version together with the 1.12.5 Datapack or Mod version.
  • Help! I can't sprint!/Some recipes are not working!/There are items that shouldn't exist!
  • This sounds like the Datapack has not been installed correctly.
  • If you are using the Datapack version, make sure the Datapack file is located in the Datapacks folder of your world.
  • Make sure there is only one version of the Matcha Datapack in that folder. Have only the most recent version you intend to play on.
  • If you are using the Mod, make sure the Datapacks folder of your world does not have any Matcha Datapack versions in it.
  • Please explain manual installation!!: When you create your world make sure you manually add the zipped Matcha_Flavoured file into the datapacks temp folder (Go to "More" tab when creating the new world, click "Datapacks", then "Open Pack Folder" and drag the ziped file into there) Make sure you move it to the right column labeled "Selected". If textures aren't showing up, add the same file to the Resource pack folder.
  • But I already made a world!/Need to add it to a preexisting world!: Select a world, click the "Edit" option, then "Open World Folder". Select the "datapacks" folder, drag the zipped file into there

UPDATING Just replace the zips in BOTH (RP and DP) locations, it will be fine, the only thing that will (should) break are items not stacking with each other, or a tool/trade not being updated, both of which can be fixed in-game with Amnestics and Grindstone villager. If you see something like "item.kleispack.filler" that means you only updated the DP and not the RP (Or I forgot a lang)

Some Tips

  • Early-game is harder now, remember to use every tool at your disposal and TAKE YOUR TIME. If you fail to prepare at each tier before moving to the next, you'll wind up with no health at all
  • If you prefer something more relaxed, switch to "Easy" Gamemode. Reload the world, and make sure the chat message say "You are in Easy"
  • Stone tools don't exist you go from Wood -> Copper -> Iron etc.
  • Go to The End when you're ready, no need to rush, shulkers are now early-game features
  • Break Spawners!
  • CHECK THE ADVANCEMENTS Please, god, check them
  • Hard mode isn't really meant to be played out-of-the-gate, its more like terraria hard mode, to keep OP players on their feet
  • Im stuck in early progression!: Make sure you check advancements and recipes you CAN'T craft. The first thing you should be doing is making a campfire, wooden hoe, and collecting grass to cook. Then you'll be able to make the mudkiln and continue on the path
