Description
This is the official grayfruit-approved quality of life/game breaking mod pack. This does NOT include sillier mods like the ones seen in the Jojo video, but just some good tools and tweaks to assist people in breaking the game as hard and as often as I do.

In broad strokes, here are the changes you should expect from using this mod:

-Mod Config Menu/custom starting items
This one is a tiny bit technical, but essentially it's a tool you can use to use other mods and really start to mess around with the game in specific ways, in the form of an extra menu screen. this mod pack also includes the "custom starting items" mod, which allows you to use the mod config menu to set which items specific characters start runs with. use the Isaac wiki or platinumgod.co.uk to find specific item values rather than just scrolling through each item one-by-one, as it gets quite tedious. this is perhaps the easiest way to get the game to break, as you can give yourself items like the Blank Card or Godhead/Brimstone right at the start. there's tons of ways to get creative here with broken item combinations, as you can give yourself three items and a trinket right off the bat.

-Disables Curses
Curses are just plain random increases in difficulty/restrictions on being able to see what the ♥♥♥♥ you're doing. if you think curses are great and shouldn't have been removed I'd suggest just arbitrarily handicapping yourself in some other way. flip a coin at the beginning of each floor and if it lands on heads you have to do the floor with one hand or balancing a book on your head or something.

-Faster animations
A lot of the tedium of some game breaks is having to see certain animations or do certain actions over and over and over again, so several mods in this collection are dedicated to reducing that tedious waiting time. Beggars, as well as machines that accept coins (except for the normal slot machine and the 3-shell beggar) have much faster animations now, as well as what is called "giantbook" in-game. giantbook is the name given to the brief, psuedo-cutscenes that play when using certain items and doing other things like adding two halves of eternal hearts to make a heart container, or when triggering effects that only occur when you take damage. this mod completely removes these small cutscenes and can make certain specific situations a LOT faster in the long run.

-Fast travel mod (GoodTrip)
Exactly what it says on the tin. hold select during gameplay and select the room you want to go to, and bam, tedious walk time saved. You'll still take damage if you teleport into or out of a curse room and it does occasionally restrict your ability to teleport if you're in a room you're not supposed to be able to leave otherwise.

-Scaling lasers/brimstone
Also exactly what it sounds like. remember OG Isaac where you could get fat lasers when you got a lot of damage upgrades? this brings that feature back, allowing for some pretty wacky OP item combos.

-No more empty item pedestals
This seems like a very small thing, but trust me, once you get a good item-fest game break going, you'll want all the free space you can get. in un-modded Isaac you can also just walk out of and back into a room to get rid of empty pedestals, but this mod just saves you the time.

-No more caps on collectibles
Heart containers, coins, bombs, and keys effectively no longer have a cap. I say "effectively" because they do technically have a cap, it's just that once you've reached that cap, you already have more than enough coins or bombs or keys than you could ever use in your brief human lifespan, so it makes them effectively infinite. I have had concerning things happen before with the one that works on heart containers specifically, where I get so many hearts that for some reason it carries over between runs and lags the game significantly, but I found that using the Dead Cat item drained all the laggy, extraneous containers.

-No breakfasting
Long story short, breakfasting is a measure built into the game to prevent some of the more ridiculous game break situations from happening, limiting the items that spawn until all that's left is Breakfast, a boring item that does nothing exciting. this mod removes that feature, not always perfectly, but well enough that I still include it. this mod makes items that re-roll large numbers of held items much more viable, such as Missing No., the D4, and the D100.

-Universal Dice
This is the only mod item I'm including here, as it's quite useful but not completely busted. This dice re-rolls things into other iterations of things from the same category, i.e. it re-rolls pedestal items into different pedestal items, coins into other coins, trinkets into other trinkets, cards into other cards, pills, keys, bombs, hearts, chests, better put an "et cetera" in there just in case I forgot something. It's quite useful and it also doubles your chances of even getting a D6-level of quality item by merely existing.
