Matcha Flavoured
by klei_wright
Matcha Flavoured is a Minecraft datapack that reworks progression, equipment, trades and death penalties so that slower, less technical players can gather resources at a comfortable pace.
What it does
The pack changes vanilla gameplay for casual players who prefer to play slowly and avoid building mob farms. Twelve food ingredients carry potion effects, roughly fifty new foods are added, and the progression path gains four new alloys along with armour and tool sets. Vanilla equipment and villager trades are overhauled, a few new enchantments and special treasures appear, and death is less punishing than in vanilla.
The pack is installed as a datapack and needs a matching resource pack, both placed in the world and resource pack locations. It is server required and client optional, so a server must run it while players may add the resource pack for the textures. Builds exist for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, plus a data pack server platform, covering game versions 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3. The latest file is 1.12.6-alpha+mod for 26.3, released on 2026-10-14 on the alpha channel.

Key features
Potion-effect food ingredients
Twelve food ingredients carry special intrinsics, which apply potion effects when they are eaten or used in recipes.
New foods
Around fifty new foods extend the vanilla food list, giving players more options for cooking and healing.
Reworked progression
Four new alloys join new armour and tool sets, so the path from early resources to late equipment has more steps.
Overhauled equipment and trades
Vanilla equipment and villager trades are reworked, changing what players can obtain from villagers and how gear compares.
Gentler death and treasures
Death costs less than in vanilla, and special treasures and a couple of new enchantments add rewards for exploring.

Use cases
Slow, casual survival
Players who build and explore at a relaxed pace can collect the same resources a technical player gathers, without mob farms.
Difficulty tiers
The difficulty setting can be chosen to suit the run: a gentler setting for a relaxed game, the middle setting for a balanced challenge, and the hardest setting for a severe experience.
Who it’s for: Casual and non-technical players who want to avoid mob farms and automation. Players who enjoy building mob farms are unlikely to enjoy the pack, as the author notes.
