A link to the "Minecraft Rebalanced" Collection by RainlessSky.
Survival Rebalanced attempts to fix vanilla survival's lackluster balancing with several small, and some large, tweaks that don't deviate too much from how vanilla survival already functions.

Key Features

Many features in Survival Rebalanced can be toggled in the config. To configure Survival Rebalanced, enter the pause menu, click "Survival Rebalanced", and click "Settings".

Player changes
Both of these are individually toggleable.

  • Permanent Hunger 1 effect
  • Slowed health regeneration

Recipe changes
Neither of these are toggleable. See detailed list for more info.

  • Added a couple new recipes
  • Changed some recipes' ingredients

Loot changes
Neither of these are toggleable. See detailed list for more info.

Mob changes
All of these are toggleable. See detailed list for more info on mob buffs.

Other changes
Neither of these are toggleable. See detailed list for more info.

  • Furnaces cannot cook food; use Campfire or Smoker
    • Do you use the campfire to cook food? Probably not. This is to give the campfire some more time to shine than it currently has.
  • Many changes to Advancements
    • Completely remade "Story" tab, adding new advancements in the process.
    • Reorganized "Nether" and "The End" tabs
    • Added an advancement to "The End" tab
    • Moved "Is it a ____?" advancements to their respective dimensions' tabs
Detailed list of features

Major gameplay changes

  • Players now have permanent Hunger 1
    • This can be toggled in the config

    • This effectively removes Saturation Healing
  • Furnaces no longer can cook food
    • Recommended to use a campfire until you can use a smoker

Recipe changes

  • Diamond pick/axe, leggings, and chestplate now replace 1 diamond with it's block form
    • With how easy diamonds can be obtained nowadays I wanted to make them feel more rewarding to earn like it felt back in the day
  • Iron pick/axe, and leggings/chestplate now replace 1 iron ingot with a block of iron
  • Added Trident recipe
    • Trident costs 3 Quartz, 1 Heart of the Sea, and 1 Prismarine Shard

    • Heart of the Sea no longer generates in buried treasure; see next change
  • Elder Guardians now have a 25% chance of dropping a Heart of the Sea

The following list contains all features in Survival Rebalanced that cannot be toggled. This is an unfortunate limitation of data packs. If you know data packs, you could delete the features' files and mentions of them.

  • Additional explorer maps
  • Improved structure loot
  • Advancement changes and additions
  • Recipe changes and additions
  • Inability to cook food in the furnace
  • Reduced village spawn rate

If you want to remove Survival Rebalanced from a world, first uninstall it from the "Survival Rebalanced" menu, and then disable the data pack. This cleans up all saved data, scoreboard objectives, and active changes from Survival Rebalanced.

KNOWN ISSUES
  • Custom Explorer maps in the Nether do not display terrain and map icons are broken*.
    • *needs testing
    • This is unfixable by me, hopefully Mojang will do something about it.
