tl,dr; Great pack for MP who like stardew / farm vibe. Boring for rpg / fighting / action vibe.

Overall : Great pack, really enjoy it as stardew player.

This pack really get me off guard from the get go. I need to throw many of my modpack / minecraft knowledge to play this with mindset ‘this is stardew on minecraft’ and it’s good. Bring back memory from my early time with stardew and modpack together to try learning what pack author try to tell me.

It’s progression is stardew, but you still in minecraft, so many thing is tweak to fit it and feel right on. Enough to may me want to sell this pack with my friend to play MP together, it’s feel quite lonely alone, due to lack of good npc and dialog. But it’ll be a blast for friend who enjoy stardew valley.

Fishing minigame is just right, but mod & pack author need more work to balance it out since the difficulty is all over, cheap fish annoying to catch and many are dead still. It’s still true to Stardew except it not upgrade the skill to become easier when level up which is quite disappointing (this problem from mod itself, not pack.)

I think quest book is good, some may think too handhold, but I think it just right for ‘integrate’ stardew to minecraft. It’s have a lot to tweak so it’s kind of need to.

For the bad part, lacking, looking forward improvement…

*Many nitpick is true to stardew original game through, lol*

– Currency is still a bit mass. Craft 2 exile do better to have a pocket and auto storage, conversion.

– Item price seem to still need some more balance. I really do have easier time with stardew when I focus on money making to make progress. (Food still not worth trouble which is really sad as minecraft mod are more advance. Hatchet fish is a cheat mode early, yadayada)

— the farmer almanac is not useful. You can see growth but not regrowth (I guess due to being the same?) some extra info like melon / punpkin still take space like vanilla is nice cheery on top.

– Adventure part is lackluster. While you can encounter rare PoI like vanilla, but you gain so very, very few from it. Monster also don’t spawn during night on surface for reason, make it even more desert. Beside of looking for slime and bit of this and that. It’s almost no point to explore overworld.

— This also extend to cave and mining. While monster is spawning, but the ore is kind of like …. less and vanilla, so for mod player I feel a bit lacking.

– Combat also very, very vanilla. While it fine for ‘stardew valley’ I do believe many may expect more, me include. I don’t mean to have 15+ boss to fight, but may be some for more adventure and action with nice reward on top.

– Lack of npc/event to talk in this genre is huge and I don’t think it’s easy to do without rework lot of thing around. This make the game feel lonely and to be honest, boring real quick since you get time gate progression a lot from this genre. I think even some script event to trigger on special day like village sale … or may be day base special wandering trader… bloody night that allow just zombie to spawn… some to spice thing up from time to time. You know it.

– Bounty board is a chaos! Adventure asking for wither on T0? that’s bonkers. Why doing netherstar quest (2k) for just 2 gold coin (512 each)!? This really need to tweak a lot more.

I really recommend this pack for some who like to change the pace or try farming vibe. It’s a good pack. May be too vanilla, but it actually more.

Very good pack. You should play it. It is very fun.
