Briar Patch 2

 
       The Briar Patch 2 Modpack!  An enjoyable mix focusing on additions to Technology, Farming and Agriculture, Quality of life Utilities, and the Minecolonies mod!
      The BP2 is a performance minded modpack which strives to maintain a quality gaming experience!  What does that mean?  Additions to the modpack are done in a mindful way regarding mods that lag game performance with either graphics or server load.  That being said – there is a LOT of content added!  See for yourself!
