Maybe some of you can help me on my search. I'm looking for a mod that lets me be a small part of a larger minecraft world. I know that the core of Minecraft is to shape the world, but is there a way to live within it, experience and explore without having to build massive constructions and gather Ressources? I'm not looking for a survival mod as in "the game is super difficult now" but rather roaming through the world, picking some berries, watching animals, being stunned by the environment in general. However vanilla Minecraft is rather static and waiting for me to initiate interaction. Animals for example do almost nothing but standing around. Also not looking for an RPG Mod.

Ideally gameplay would come solely from the nice friendly feeling of being in an amazing world. Not sure what that exactly would look like, but you might? :)
