mods that keep to the spirit of vanilla — and sit a little closer to the fire

the household at the hearth: a lit hearth, candles, a crow, and an ember moth
the household at the hearth — drawn from the mods themselves

a small line of minecraft mods that keep to the spirit of vanilla while making the world a little more alive, and its players a little more connected. crows with opinions, letters sealed in wax, moths at the lamp, a windmill that reads the weather, candles that know where your people are. nothing here makes a number go up faster — that is the house rule, and every mod on this shelf keeps it.
