Today, thanks to modern modding platforms, everything is automated.
I, for one, lost days, if not weeks, of my teen years seeking out the latest versions of obscure mods online, waiting for downloads, and rooting around in config folders. The process was manual and time-consuming. Veterans of the game might recall how hard it was to add mods to Minecraft in the early days.
If you want to spice up your crafting and maximize your gameplay experience, you can easily add a few, or a few dozen, modifications. But reaching the End doesn’t need to be the end. You have a full set of diamond armor, a field rife with pumpkins and melons next to your lakefront mansion, and you just defeated the Ender dragon.
You’ve been developing your Minecraft world for a while.
