Differences between Re-Console+ and Simply Legacy
Both Simply Legacy and Re-Console+ are modpacks made with the intent to give players a vanilla-friendly Legacy Console Edition experience.
What makes them different is feature scope:
- Simply Legacy aims to have an experience closest to the original Legacy Console Edition, while also preserving much of vanilla Minecraft's gameplay and improving performance
- Re-Console+ aims to have extra content to enhance the gameplay experience past the base Legacy Console experience, with visual enhancements and additional content
