Mike's Quest - The Heatfall Modpack 1.20.1

Mike's Quest - The Heatfall is a Minecraft modpack designed for a story-driven playthrough. Its primary purpose is to transform the game world into a desert wasteland, which is progressively being consumed by a dangerous infection. Players must fight through this infection, construct a "mossy core," and restore the world. The pack includes mods that replace most biomes with deserts, though this can be adjusted in the biome_replacer.properties config file, specifically for biomes from the "Deserts and Dunes" mod. Lush caves can still be found underground, providing a natural source of moss blocks.

A crucial feature of this modpack is a datapack that adds Moss blocks and hearts of the sea to desert village chest loot pools. These items are necessary for crafting the mossy core, and the datapack must be activated during world creation. For enhanced immersion, players are instructed to use commands to set the weather to "rain" or "thunder" and to activate the shader included in the modpack. The story involves Earth being scorched by solar flares, leading to a radiation-filled wasteland and the need to find "the Core" to purge the infection.
