• Eco Pack (with climate change)
  • Integration with Technic mods, etc.
  • Track planted trees vs chopped wood, killed mobs, etc.
  • Ecological footprint influences weather
  • Extreme weather scenarios and desasters
  • Tornados, poisonous rain that kills crops and animals, bush fires,...
• Survival Pack
  • Body temperature becomes survival aspect
  • Use local heat as base value
  • swimming will cool down
  • standing near fire will warm up
  • craftable warm clothes
  • metal armor will worsen heat issues
