Overview

Quark is a comprehensive content mod for Minecraft Java Edition designed to enhance the base game under a strict philosophy: every feature added must feel as though it could belong in the default game. The mod is named after the subatomic particle because it is composed of many small, independent features that collectively create a significantly enriched experience.

One of Quark's defining characteristics is its modularity. Every single feature can be toggled or configured via an in-game menu (accessible via a 'q' button on the main menu). The mod is divided into several categories: Automation, Building, Client, Management, Mobs, Tools, Tweaks, and World.
