I played a modpack about 7 years ago that basically removed a lot of official content including most hostle mobs, villages and villagers, and a bunch of other content, but replaced it with lots of non-fantastical creatures, a wider range of materials, different medieval era weapons etc. It really felt like you were alone in an untouched world, in a way that Minecraft already really does, except that the existence of zombies and villages juxtaposes that.
Then on the flipside, it had the Twilight forest mod, perhaps the aether mod (I don’t really remember) and this general idea that if you want epic fantasy and magic, you need to leave the overworked, which felt narrativly really nice to do, I think it populated the nether with skeletons and and endermen before official Minecraft did too, I don’t clearly remember.
I’ve longed for that game ever since but I don’t know what the modpack was called, and I’ve never found it again.
that sounds cool as hell, come back and update us if you ever figure out what it is! also just so you know for next time, “justaposes” is actually spelled like “juxtaposes” not trying to call you out just trying to help you avoid looking silly in other contexts in your future!

I swear my spelling is getting worse every day.
