Minecraft: The Quest for Gaia

(Icon is a placeholder, a proper icon is to be done. Perhaps I should go for a minimalist one?)

This modpack, built around Botania, is focused more on the magic aspect of the mod. The end goal is supposed to be the Guardian of Gaia, hence the name, but you can choose whatever end goal you desire.

I decided not to include any if not most tech mods because I feel that they would interrupt the experience within Botania.

This modpack also provides mob grinding utilities for the late to end game. Might be unbalanced, tell me if so, and I can probably tweak it. Should be fine though.

I made this pack mostly for myself but if you ever needed a modpack built around Botania, I think you might enjoy this one.

This is also my first pack, so if you feel that there’s a lack of a certain mod or another, that’s a fault on my part. Please tell me what you think of it so that I can improve upon it, thank you!

A lot of the mods included are pretty cool, some even more so!

Why don’t you check them out and show your support to the mod creators?

(Side note: I’ll probably provide links to the actual modpages later but I just don’t have the time right now)

I haven’t really touched most of the configs for each mod, but please let me know if I should adjust something!
