Ironcake

This modpack is one that I put together for my friends and I to use.

It includes some nice QOL features like IPN for auto tool replacement, JEI for item searching, Controlling for keybind searching, Journeymap for a comprehensive minimap/fullscreen map/waypoints, Inventory Sorter, and a default config to avoid frustration with conflicting keybinds.

It also includes some mods that I consider to be vanilla enhancements, like Effortless Building, FTB Ultimine, Right click harvesting, Sophisticated Backpacks, Nyf’s Quivers, Toolbelt, Curio slots, Waystones, Nature’s compass for biome searching, Lootr for individual player loot from world gen chests, and many of Macaw’s mods for decorative blocks.

The main things that expand this beyond vanilla are all very optional to engage with and can be configured to your liking in the mod configs. This includes Epic Fight for combat overhaul, Weapons of Miracles for further expansion of combat overhaul, Blue Sky for new dimensions and bosses, Alex’s Caves / Mobs for new challenges and progression, and Create for machines and automation. 

I hope you enjoy it like I have, and feel free to make suggestions in the comments!
