Coolstuff
Coolstuff is a Vanilla+ mod that expands Minecraft with cool, surprising, and occasionally absurd mechanics while preserving the feel of the original game.
The mod enhances familiar mobs, projectiles, combat interactions, and items instead of replacing Minecraft’s core gameplay.

AI Disclosure
Coolstuff was developed with the assistance of generative AI tools, primarily ChatGPT(CODEX), which were used to help write and refine a substantial portion of the mod’s code and publishing text.
The concepts, mechanics, game design, textures, models, sounds, testing, balancing, and overall creative direction were created and managed by me(Wentory).
AI was used as a development tool and not as a replacement for the creative work behind the mod.
