Vanilla Additions



This resource pack adds a ton of details to Minecraft, without changing the basic vanilla Minecraft textures. Vanilla Additions will change textures to be more vibrant or to make them suit their biomes better.




Vanilla Additions



Other than tweaking vanilla textures, the texture pack contains some additions in the form of overlays or texture variations. For instance, grass in a flower forest will have a random chance to have flowers on the texture itself. Another feature is texture variations. This means that one item or block, such as a flower, will appear in different shapes and colors throughout your world. This adds more diversity to your world, without adding any new flowers or blocks.


Willet bourbon barrel-aged Density flows with a deep blackness and a mocha frothiness, smells reminiscent of bourbon soaked vanilla, followed by a pleasant oak finish. Eruptive flavors of dark chocolate, dulce de leche, and chocolate coated biscotti dipped in coffee hang out long enough to high five all the taste buds but not long enough to be a lingerer. Coming in a 16oz package, Density truly does equal mass over volume.


Standing in front of the extracts at the grocery store can be a little overwhelming. There are so many choices, from the different types of vanilla on the shelf to the price disparity between all those little jars. If you lean in and look closely, you'll notice something interesting: Some of them say "pure vanilla extract," while others are clearly marked as an imitation vanilla flavor.


The most common way to use vanilla extract is in pastries and other baking recipes. You might not be able to taste the small amount of vanilla when it's added to cakes, muffins, and cookies, but it enhances the other flavors by bringing out the sweetness of the sugar or reducing the eggy flavor for recipes containing raw eggs. That same enhancing power works for savory recipes as well as sweet ones.


Pure vanilla is so expensive because of the vanilla beans themselves, which are the second most expensive spice in the world (after saffron). Vanilla is a member of the orchid family, and the beans are the fruit produced by the flowers. They're known for being extremely hard to grow, primarily because they're limited to growing about 10 to 20 degrees north or south of the equator, but also because the flowers have to be hand pollinated. All that drives up the price of the world's somewhat limited stash of vanilla.


Proponents say real vanilla extract is worth the extra price because the flavor and aroma are unmatched compared to artificial vanilla flavoring. That purity comes from the process of making vanilla extract, which involves splitting the vanilla bean to expose the seeds. From there, the beans are soaked in alcohol to extract their essence. Homemade versions use brandy or vodka but commercial vanilla is made with pure ethyl alcohol. Over time, the alcohol pulls out the flavor and aroma of the vanilla and transfers it to the liquid. The spent vanilla pods can be dried and blended with sugar or salt, just like you would with scraped vanilla bean pods.


Imitation vanilla came into the world in 1858 when chemists found a way to synthetically replicate vanillin, the compound responsible for vanilla's flavor and aroma. Originally, the key ingredient to imitation vanilla was coal tar, but scientists also derive this compound from paper, cinnamon, cow manure, or petroleum.


Vanilla prices range widely depending on the brand, the type of vanilla, and the packaging. At our local Fred Meyer grocery store, the pure vanilla extract we purchased was $10.99 for a 2-fluid-ounce bottle (or $5.49 per ounce). The store-brand imitation vanilla flavor was $3.69 for a 4-fluid-ounce bottle (or $0.93 per ounce). That is a huge disparity, but luckily most of us only use vanilla in small quantities. A teaspoon called for in most baked goods contains 0.17 fluid ounces, so we're really talking about a difference between $0.93 and $0.15 per use.


It's also worth noting that pure vanilla extract lasts for about a decade, even after it's been opened. The alcohol in pure vanilla extract will begin to evaporate after some time, but it takes a while to get there. The synthetic imitation vanilla only lasts for four years, which is still a pretty long time. When we put it all together, the investment in an expensive bottle of vanilla doesn't sound as bad as it did at first glance.


You might think these two substances are vastly different from one another based on the ingredients label, but it is possible to substitute one for another in equal parts substitutions. As you'll learn from our taste test, pure vanilla extract has a noticeably alcoholic flavor, while the imitation product has a stronger presence of vanilla flavor. However, once used in recipes (especially baked goods), the differences melt away and both provide a similar character to sweet or savory dishes.


In general, you can also use this rule of thumb when substituting for other vanilla products. If your recipe calls for one teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, feel free to swap in one teaspoon of imitation vanilla, vanilla paste, or vanilla powder. When considering vanilla paste vs. vanilla extract, the former has a thicker, more syrupy texture, and vanilla powder is a great vanilla extract swap for deeper flavor. If you happened to have a vanilla bean pod in your pantry, you could use it as a substitute (one vanilla bean pod equals about one tablespoon of other vanilla products, in case you were wondering).


The first thing we noticed about the pure vanilla extract was its intoxicating aroma. It smelled lightly sweet and oaky like a wine barrel and reminded us of flowers or perfume. Just by taking a whiff, we could sense the potential of this aromatic liquid. We could almost smell the sweetness of a sugar cookie or the richness of a buttery pound cake.


Our next step was to see how the two tasted in baked goods. Would we be able to tell the difference? We whipped up a simple vanilla wafer cookie made with butter, sugar, eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, and vanilla. We didn't notice any difference in the texture of the two batches, either before we baked the dough or after they came out of the oven. Looking at the two products, you couldn't tell that one was made with pure extract and the other with imitation vanilla.


We also wanted to taste the vanillas in a no-bake recipe. Since heat can cause liquid to evaporate, it stood to reason that the flavor of the two would change in the oven. So we made two batches of whipped cream from heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla. We added a little more vanilla than we normally would for a whipped cream recipe to make sure we could really assess the difference between the two.


When it came down to it, the tasters decided that it didn't really matter which vanilla was used. While the real vanilla had a more pure flavor and aroma, it was barely noticeable once the cookies were baked. And even though they all preferred the real vanilla in the whipped cream, they all agreed that the aftertaste of the imitation vanilla version wasn't actually bad enough to avoid in the future.


As a subgenre of New England IPA (NEIPA), milkshake IPAs are hoppy, rich, and smooth. What makes the milkshake style unique is the addition of lactose and vanilla. Since NEIPA is already brewed with lots of oats and low flocculating yeast, they come across rich and fruity as is. On top of this, milkshake IPAs add creaminess and a velvety texture with lactose and even more oats.


Choose only the freshest and most pungent hop varietals. Fruit-forward and tropical hops like Citra, Galaxy, Mosaic, and Vic Secret help contribute to juiciness. They also pair very well with various fruit additions.


Blueberry and lime is a classic flavor combination that seems to work well in every dessert. For a seasonal late summer beer, this milkshake IPA is refreshing and complex. The lime-like Motueka hops and orangey Centennial are great additions to round out this hazy purple beer.


Glitter Parts (Peach) is a tropically-hopped smoothie laced with fuzzy peach and rich vanilla additions. A base of honey-sweet malt is sprinkled with sticky hops, Citra, Simcoe, Mosaic, and El Dorado, which lend additional fragrances of passion fruit, blended pineapple, and clementine. Put your shades on, because Glitter Parts Peach is like standing in a Georgia peach farm during a sun-shower of glitter rain. *Contains Lactose*


To summarize, the mod is now renamed to 'Unique Map Weather' and also has its weather additions split off into a second mod called 'Unique Map Weather - Vanilla Additions' (which is not needed when combining with ACMOS).


This vibrant red Sour IPA is packed with black currants, pineapple, and hops (Mosaic and Azacca). It's deliciously complex and creamy while sporting a triadic profile of tart fruit flavours and aromas, a lactic sour profile, and a notable hop presence. It's a full-bodied, heavily hopped and fruited Sour IPA with lactose + vanilla additions.


In vanilla Terraria, many Hardmode bosses require other bosses to be defeated before they can be fought, creating a linear sequence of progression. Calamity introduces several means through which bosses can be fought "out of order", which greatly increases the player's choices and freedom during Hardmode.


Blanton's Bourbon barrel aging brings out delectable caramel notes with warm, subtle booziness. Ten Drop special roasted coffee beans create decadent chocolate forward notes, rounded out by vanilla additions. Reminiscent of rich cake, ice cream scoops, and drizzled caramel.


The flavor is where things open way, way past familiar smoked aromatics. Despite that 13%, we found no immediate push from the alcohol, with any sorts of fruity heat budging up just so with the cherry additions. Chocolate and cherries play the biggest role in this beer, with a vibrant red fruitiness and complementing notes of cocoa, milk chocolate, and licorice. There is also an immense amount of depth to be explored over in the caramelized parts, with toffee and rich caramels and brown sugar providing a mellow backdrop against all that darker roast. 041b061a72
