+# Minecraft Rebalanced
+
+Major and minor tweaks to Minecraft's recipes, loot tables and item data with progression as a high priority. This new version of the mod is intended for the 1.21.1 Fabric pack, omitting the equipment and food changes that are now manageable by datapacks in favour of slightly more complex changes.
