Various Starting Loot

#### A datapack that changes the standard loot of the bonus chest, now it depends on biomes.
### You have to enable “Bonus Chest” to make the datapack work!!
## 🖼️Examples


## 🏞️Supported biomes:
– #### 🌳Vanilla
– #### 🌋Terralith (From version 4.0)
## 📚Modes:
**Datapack has two modes**
– First one is enabled by default and changes spawn bonus chest
– If you enable the second mode, loot will be given to the all new players directly in their inventories as a chest, that they can place and get loot
– To enable this mode use `/function various_starting_loot:settings`
– In this mode you don’t have to enable bonus chest at all
## 📂Installing as datapack
– Download and install datapack in the world
– For a new world: You can click the “Data Packs” option when creating a new world and select this datapack
– Enable Bonus Chest
## 🔧Installing as mod
– Download and put mod in your .minecraft/mods folder
– Enable Bonus Chest
### ❓FAQ:
1. **How to enable bonus chest on server?** Add –bonusChest argument to your JVM arguments
2. **Is it possible to get chest with bonus loot again?** Yes, use `/function various_starting_loot:loot`
3. **Support for “X” datapack/mod** Will be done someday if this datapack/mod is popular

Variated Spawn Eggs
This resource pack adds numerous more Spawn Egg textures based off the ones added in the 25w08a snapshot! It is meant to show the visual differences of each mob. The way to obtain these eggs are through /give commands with specific [Component Data](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Data_component_format).
To easily use the commands, I recommend using [MCStacker](https://mcstacker.net/?cmd=give) to quickly create and copy/paste the commands in-game.

Variable Spawner Hardness
Makes spawners take longer to destroy depending on your difficulty for a slight extra challenge.
Default spawner hardnesses
– Peaceful: Same hardness as vanilla (5F)
– Easy: Same as end stone (9F)
– Normal: Same as ender chests (22.5F)
– Hard: Same as ancient debris (30F)
– Hardcore: Same as obsidian (50F)
Unlike some of the blocks mentioned above, you can still destroy a spawner with any tool you want as long as you don’t use your bare hands.
Config
As of v1.3.0, the spawner hardnesses are configurable in the `variablespawnerhardness-common.toml` config file.

**Vanilla Enhanced — Minecraft, but better.**

– **No compromise:** Optimized to run well on modest systems.
### Highlights in action

**Golden skies that sell the scene.**
Sunsets become a moment worth pausing for — gentle gradients, richer highlights, memorable horizons.

**Biomes with personality.**
Color grading and contrast are tuned so forests, mountains and plains feel distinct and cohesive.


**Caves that invite you in.**
Subtle glows and realistic shadowing turn spelunking into an atmospheric experience.


**Light that moves with you.**
Shadows soften and shift; reflections follow your motion — the world reacts, not just sits pretty.

VSS|原版风平滑剑
A vanilla-style smooth sword, achieved by modifying the model, which causes almost no additional performance overhead.
**Vanilla Style**: The number of elements in the sword model is reduced to a minimum. Theoretically, this significant reduction in the number of model elements can also slightly boost the frame rate.
**_Flash Style_**: Compared to the Vanilla Style, it adds glowing outlines when enchanted—experience the flowing light!It can still display PBR effects in a light and shadow environment!
All versions feature 16x textures, identical to the vanilla game.
Additionally, this resource pack fixes the asymmetrical crosshair position in the vanilla game, and reduces the field of view obstruction when the player wears carved pumpkins to 15% of the vanilla intensity.
一款原版风格的平滑剑,通过修改模型实现,几乎不产生额外的性能消耗。
**香草风格**:剑模型的元素数精简至极少。理论上由于极大地减少了模型的元素数,也能微小地提高帧率。
**_灵动风格_**:相较于香草风格增加了附魔时的发光描边,感受流动的光线!在光影环境下还能呈现出PBR效果!
所有版本的纹理都是16x的,和原版一样。
此外,本资源包还修复了原版不对称的准星位置,并将玩家穿戴雕刻南瓜下的视野遮蔽修改为原版强度的15%。
