Monkey’s Pack

Welcome to the Monkey’s Pack! This is a comprehensive modpack built for Minecraft 1.21.1 on NeoForge, focused on bringing together some of the best and most intricate systems for Magic, Tech, and Automation.

This project is a solo endeavor, built and configured by myself alone. My friends have been invaluable as dedicated testers and idea-sharers, but every configuration tweak, mod choice, and overall balance decision comes straight from me. It’s a labor of love designed to offer a deep, rewarding experience!

⚙️ Core Mod List & Quick Overviews 🪄

This pack combines various themes, offering pathways from classic redstone automation to complex item management and powerful spellcasting.

Industrial Foregoing – A mod full of machines for all sorts of automation, including mob farming, plant harvesting, liquid management, and power generation (FE).

Integrated Dynamics – A powerful and flexible logic and automation mod. Use complex networks of cables and logic programming to precisely control and monitor any appliance.

Create – Focuses on kinetic energy and rotational power. Build elaborate, aesthetically pleasing contraptions, factories, and contraptions using gears, belts, and moving parts.

Create Stuff&Additions – An addon for Create, enhancing it with new equipment, tools, and gadgetry that utilize Create’s resources and power systems.

Mystical Agriculture – Allows you to farm resources! Grow custom crops to yield essences that can be crafted into ingots, gems, and other valuable materials.

Silent Gear/Gems – A comprehensive system for building custom tools and armor using various material parts. Silent Gems adds new ores and materials specifically for this system.

Sophisticated Backpacks – Adds highly customizable and placeable backpacks that can be upgraded with various utilities like auto-smelting, feeding, and sorting.

Sophisticated Storage – Adds advanced, highly configurable barrels and chests that can be upgraded with similar utility modules as the backpacks for complex storage solutions.
