Explore & Construct 2

Explore and Construct 2!

This is the third modpack that I have created to play with my brother! After spending hours and hours on KubeJS scripts and custom item textures it seemed a waste not to share it with anyone who wants to give it a try.

Modpack Focus

This pack focuses on making exploration compatible with the creation of manufacturing facilities and magical progression. Custom KubeJS scrips and quests are used to integrate the various exploration, magic, and tech mods together blending the lines between each mod into a smooth progression through the technology tree. Ultimately, the goal is not to create thousands of resources that you couldn’t possibly use, the goal of this pack is to encourage exploring the world, build a magnificent factory, and discover magical secrets to facilitate that exploration.

Mod Highlights

While every mod in this pack contributes something there are a handful of mods that are fundamental to progression and gameplay

Create

Ars Nouveau

Better Combat

Cold Sweat

End remastered

And what would an exploration pack be without new biomes and dimensions to explore?

Terralith

Oh the Biomes You’ll Go

The Aether

The Twilight Forest

Blue skies

Deeper and Darker

Nevermind all the new boss fights, structures, and dungeons to uncover!

L_Ender ‘s Cataclysm

Integrated Dungeons and Structures

When Dungeons Arise

Questbook

A full quest log will walk you through the essential aspects of the modpack. Equal attention has been paid towards exploration rewards and construction rewards so regardless of playstyle you will be rewarded for progression.

Thoughtful Retextures

This pack also includes a complete retexture of Pretty Pipes to better match Create, as well as minor texture tweaks to other mods to better fit the pack.
