+**Key Features**:
+- Check out 92 convention "booths" built to show off mods, modpacks, and other modding projects!
+- Explore a gently winding lakeside campground with hills, bridges, roads, and ornate towers.
+- Traverse the map with snowball guns, hex wands, grappling hooks, rocket launchers, and triple jumps!
+- Find up to 100 uniquely textured trading cards scattered around different parts of the map!
+- Revisit the world where it all went down - or just check it out for the first time!
+- Observe a pink flamingo! (huh?)
