But they sometimes feel a bit slow slow... When Story Mode and Dungeons came out, I was obsessed with the new lore! Yet none of that ever made it into the actual game.... Instead of waiting for updates, I decided to bridge the gap myself. Barely Default connects the entire Minecraft canon while staying true to the vanilla art style The Modern Look: I’ve updated "left-behind" textures to match Mojang’s current more detailed style. The result is a world that feels refreshed and densely packed, but still familiar. I aim for you to be able to play with this pack for years and still have you learn new things about it! # Name Dependant Variants! ## [Check out the full list of **named variants** in Barely Default by clicking this link](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kSjHyrZ60fVfBGip9Ho6QbFmMZ1CCtDfqIQLVj4hFvM/edit?usp=sharing) ![A few of the named variants avaliable in Barely Default](https://i.redd.it/s0q08ghzmtde1.png) ## Also check out [the official Barely Default Data Pack](https://modrinth.com/datapack/barely-default-data-pack) by CYKLOPPS and I # More cool features!
