===What is Gamemode 4?===
Gamemode 4 is a collection of [https://www,minecraft.net  Minecraft] datapacks to enhance the vanilla survival experience. Gamemode 4 has added varying levels of content from simple ideas such as [[Bat Grenades]] to fully fleshed mechanics such as [[Zauber Cauldrons]]. These additions are named modules because of their ''modular'' nature. It is encouraged to mix and match modules to create your own custom experience.
