exploration mods for wimps with laptops

Question

Hey, I know this isn't a popular style, but I don't actually really like fighting mobs/bosses very often in Minecraft. I don't mind fighting a few zombies or skeletons when entering a cave, or trying to survive through the night, but overall it's just not really my favorite part of the game. My favorite part of the game is exploring new places, and I love finding sunken ships and buried treasure (but i absolutely despise Drowned, so sometimes I make a world on peaceful solely for the purpose of finding sunken ships).

I've been looking through threads for good exploration mods, but so many of them come with bosses to defeat, or crazy new mobs, or super challenging dungeons ( I don't mind the idea of dungeons but sometimes I look at people playing the mod and immediately know I would never be able to get through them lol). My question is, are there any good exploration mods without these things? Maybe with new structures, biomes, places to go, but without being super challenging.. Also, I play on my macbook. It's one of the newest versions, and has done really well so far, but I'm worried about some mods being too much for it. I currently only have Optifine and JEI installed. I also don't use shaders mostly because I don't want to slow things down, but I do think if I only have a few bigger mods it should be okay.

Any suggestions? Are there any good exploration-based mods not centered around combat or defeating different bosses/mobs? thanks in advance for your answers, I really want to explore different mods but I am NOT good at fighting in Minecraft lol

if you're willing to swap to fabric, Spectrum might be of interest to you - though it's not 100% exploration centered, it has plenty of secrets and things to learn about - i advise against looking things up, the book should have everything you need to know

Philip's Ruins adds a LOT of ruin structures

apparently half my comment just doesn't exist?

the following mods are better than optifine(for "or" it's forge version first, then fabric) :

Embeddium or Sodium (massive rendering improvements)

ModernFix (Memory Usage and Load Time improvements)

Oculus or Iris (Shaders)
