DayOfMind Additions

About the Modification
DayOfMind Additions is a thoughtfully designed project from OxfaTech that expands the capabilities of standard Minecraft by adding elements that harmoniously blend with vanilla aesthetics. The mod was created specifically for the DayOfMind modpack but works excellently in any other modifications as well.
