Reminiscence Modpack brings back the classic feel of old Minecraft while keeping the modern biomes you want to explore. This pack removes the hunger bar, sprinting, and enchanting to bring back the simple rules of early Minecraft. It generates old-school terrain with retro lighting, sounds, and textures. The pack also includes new items that fit the vintage style, like handy backpacks, a bigger food system, and the famous Aether dimension.
