Why does this modpack exist?

My friends and I are long-time Minecraft players who have already played through several modpacks. Even though we usually play tech packs, we wanted to try something different. And what would be better than a role-play based modpack. And since we knew exactly what we wanted we thought, why not make our own modpack out of it. Maybe there are others who think like us.

What can you expect?

Actually, the selected mods are based on one idea. We want to build massive and huge nations.

World generation

The standard Minecraft worlds are nice but not quite what we have in mind for our project. So we need a cool generator – TerraForged! TerraForged is one of the greatest world generator that I know. You can customise anything. Starting with biome weights over a accurate heat map all the way to poi girds. With the right settings, you can create awesome worlds with gigantic "natural" mountains, wonderful rivers and accurate biome borders. We satteled for an 15000 square block island with snowy forests in the north and toasty deserts in the south. I will add the preset we generated in the next update. – I already added it 😀

Farming

To support the farmers among us, we have added some mods to enhance the natural flora and fauna. As our nations are a few blocks apart the space needs to be filled naturally. This works great with fields and animals. For this we used Pam’s HarvestCraft 2, Simple Farming and Flower Seeds. With these mods you can plunge directly into farming. But we haven’t forgotten our animal friends either, and with Alex’s Mobs, exotic birds and aquaculture we have expanded the animal world in abundance.

Building

Since we want to support role-play, there must of course also be an improvement in the construction possibilities. Mods such as decorative blocks, cooking/farming for blockheads, lotta terracotta and macaw’s bridges will be used for this.

Tech

But of course, we don’t want to miss out on the tech world either. However, we wanted to keep it simple. Even though redstone farms are commonplace, we needed something more exciting, so we had to create. In order to process raw materials more quickly, we threw immersive engineering into the mix. And all that stuff can then be stored in drawers or simple storage.

QoL

Of course, we have also integrated some Quality of Live features. Mods like WAILA, global xp, fast-leaf-decay, tconstruct, cha-s, ftpchunks, backpacker and jei are also included.

The best thing to do is to see for yourself. This modpack is for creative explorers who want to build their own world according to their ideas with a few small supports.
