*Heck* comes with a modest amount of configuration changes and [KubeJS](https://kubejs.com/) scripts that aim to make our mods work together well, fix minor issues, improve balance, change and add recipes, and most importantly unify most items and materials in the pack which would otherwise exist in multiple formats. We also have a couple of texture and localization changes to make things fit together well.
