Vanilla Refresh Data Pack
Vanilla Refresh Data Pack (1.21.1, 1.20.1) is a data pack aimed at enhancing the gameplay experience in Vanilla Minecraft by adding small features and addressing minor issues. Each feature can be toggled on or off according to your preferences, allowing you to customize your Minecraft experience just the way you want it. Additionally, Vanilla Refresh includes Creative Mode tools, such as wands for teleportation, mob erasure, and vegetation clearing. You can also enter spectator mode and perform various actions. The data pack is easy to install and works seamlessly with existing worlds. With over 30 features and ongoing additions, Vanilla Refresh continues to make Minecraft even better. And don’t worry—if there are any features you don’t like, you can disable or re-enable them anytime via the settings menu.
