Vintage Wilds Modpack (1.20.1) is a survival-focused Minecraft modpack inspired by Vintage Story, TerraFirmaCraft, and elements of Rebirth of the Night, while staying as close as possible to vanilla Minecraft.

The design philosophy is simple: challenging to survive, comfortable to live in. Gameplay avoids excessive grind and unfair mechanics, focusing instead on meaningful progression and immersive systems.

Features:
