It has stuff like proximity voice chat custom music discs and some small tweaks like more mob heads armor statues and wandering trades to make things cooler.
There are themed build districts that keep growing and a mini game district where people host game nights. Someone even made their own version of Decked Out like Tango did so there is a lot to play besides just mining and building.
