This is a collection of my "essential" mods for Isaac Repentance thus far.

The main goal of this collection is not to reinvent the wheel, but rather to sand down the rough edges and make the wheel roll a lot smoother, so to speak. Many mods are here to provide features to tweak the game difficulty, be it by bringing previously powerful items back to their former glory, or offering options to tweak controversial mechanics like boss armor or item weights.

What you won't find here is new items, new characters, new stages, or memes, as these fall outside the purview of this collection.

It is perfectly safe to click "Subscribe to All" and use this pack as is. It's been rather well tested against both Single Player and Co-op gameplay and is stable, at least at the time I'm writing this. After subscribing and launching the game for the first time, be sure to close the game and relaunch it, as some mods, such as MiniMAPI, require this process to work properly.

Once in-game, you can use Mod Config Menu (L key) to configure things to your liking, personally, I keep Boss Armor set to 80%, apply several changes to Co-Op Plus to make its effects more minimal, and disable some of the unnerfs in Unnerf Pack that I personally don't like.

The only mod you might need to disable from time to time is "Standardized Item Weights" and this is only if you're playing Tainted Cain, as it screws with the recipes for Bag of Crafting.

If, rather than subscribing to all, you'd rather scroll through, the list was organized loosely in this order:
- Music
- Graphics
- Additional Features
- Bugfixes
- Unnerfs
- Balance Tweaks
- Main Menu Tweaks

Unfortunately, steam's collections system seems to not care about allowing me to reorder things, so this order might get out of whack sometimes if I add or remote items over time.

If you're reading this, I hope you enjoy this curated collection of mods, I've spent a lot of time figuring out what things I like, how to get them to work together, and reporting bugs to mod developers doing this, and of course, my work is never done.
