📋 About This Mod

✅ a light touch of dark fantasy added to your world
✅ animated foliage across the overworld
✅ new levels of color and depth
✅ seasonally themed biomes (If Polytone is installed)
✅ simplistic, yet smooth textures
✅ various basic QOL features

A living world, corrupted by darkness. Note: This pack has additional funtionality with Polytone installed, such as custom foliage, fog, terrain, sky, and water colormaps. Polytone is NOT required for 99% of this pack to function. Inspired by incredible works such as Palettized Programmer Art by TheRealDarkBum, Recrafted by MR_CHOO, Vintage Story, and others, Dark Cottagecore aims to transform the scattered and abstract Minecraft into a single, consistently themed experience.

ALLOWED to use in modpacks. CREDIT REQUIRED. NO re-hosting. This pack is meant to be my vision for Minecraft, but that doesn't mean I can't accept feedback. After all, it was supposed to be my vision, but made for the community to use. If you have any comments regarding the pack I strongly encourage you to reach out to me.
