Overview

OVERVIEW:

Talp's Additions is a mod about expanding vanilla and give the game a brand new feel! The plan is to give you the opportunity to expand your gameplay in every direction, from building and decoring, all the way to farming resources. The mod also aims to add some little details, just to make your surroundings more interesting and colorful: you'll find new flowers, new mobs and a lot of other small additions that will help the gameplay to feel a lot more alive.

With that said, I'll explain you the basics of the mod, briefly talking about every feature, just to give you a general overview, so you can start your journey yourself:
