First off, this is a modpack that shares many mods with the Slightly Vanilla Flavored modpack and if you haven’t already, I’d heavily recommend you download and play that modpack as well, it is very fun!

Have a problem you don’t know how to fix? A mod you’d like to suggest? Great! you can join the Almond Official discord server here!

Backstory:

This pack pretty much exists because I wanted a modpack that gave a bit more than most vanilla plus modpacks provide, well also maintaining the vanilla plus feeling of having mods that feel like they belong in the base-game.

Modpack Description:

Like I said in the backstory, this modpack aims to add more than other vanilla-plus modpacks like it, while maintaining a vanilla plus feeling, hence the name "Almond" (explained in the naming section). I also designed this modpack to complement certain mods I like playing with, such as create and mods from team abnormals. My goal is also to provide, or at some point provide, something for everyone of all play styles; currently though if you enjoy building complex machines with the power of create, or love adventuring and combat or love finding loot and fun new structures in the world, then you might just end up loving this modpack!

Naming:

The reason for the name “Almond” is because apparently almonds (specifically almond extract) have a very similar flavor to vanilla but with a nice added nutty flavor and I feel like knowing that, the name “Almond” pretty much describes the intention of this modpack perfectly (also because too many vanilla plus modpacks had the words “vanilla plus” in their name so moderators wouldn’t let me use the original name i had picked which was “Vanillaplus-ish”)

Also here are some nice photos I took with BSL:
