An affogato, more traditionally known as "affogato al caffè", is an Italian coffee-based dessert. It usually takes the form of a scoop of plain milk-flavored or vanilla gelato or ice cream topped or "drowned" with a shot of hot espresso.

About the modpack

Affogato is a modpack that represents my ideal version of Minecraft. It's a culmination of all the thoughts and ideas I had for the game over the years put into one neat, meticulously handcrafted package. It consists of a selection of quality mods, which help me in achieving my vision for this modpack, and my own mod, Affogato Core, which adds features and tweaks I could not find in other mods, provides custom mod configs and data, and fixes mod incompatibilities and bugs.

The main goals of the modpack are the following:

• Change game progression to be more difficult, but feel more rewarding at the same time.
• Rework or improve underutilized and/or underwhelming game mechanics and incorporate them into the game's progression.
• Add new, meaningful content to the game that fits vanilla both functionally and aesthetically without compromising core gameplay.
• Put a way stronger emphasis on exploration and other core game mechanics.
• Add convenience features and mechanics, where it makes sense to do so.

Affogato targets the latest Minecraft version and will always try to update as soon as possible.

Installing the modpack

Install the modpack through the Modrinth app or your favorite launcher.

You can play with your friends by either using e4mc (included in the modpack) or setting up a dedicated server with the server installer, which uses mrpack4server.

Playing the modpack

Refer to in-game tutorials, advancements and the recipe book for progression guidance. There are no guide books, quest trees or anything like that.

Recommendations:

• Keep the game difficulty on Hard for the best experience.
• Change the maximum allocated memory to at least 4GB, but not more than 8GB.
• If you have performance to spare (which you will often do because of the performance mods included in the modpack), it's highly recommended to increase the render distance from the default 12 for an improved gameplay experience.
