These 2 mods are different, but can be used to make dimensions of ANY block or liquid the mod supports. A fair warning though: Do NOT use the liquid yellorium and liquid cyanite from big reactors. They do NOTHING. I included Minetweaker3 and Modtweaker2 for a future update allowing Tinkers Construct smelteries to be able to convert those into the ingot and block yellorium and cyanite, this is NOT currently implemented by me, as I don't have a fixer script written yet.

The following mods add magic, such as binding items and spells

**Note: ! likely didn't cover EVERY mod in the pack.**

Features offered

**I cannot list EVERY feature, so I will list noteworthy ones**

The AoDRP Loot Ores mod is one of my mods (some not on curseforge). It adds special ores that can be used to farm resources, such as diamond, emerald, redstone, lapis, iron, gold, and coal, The Speciak Multi Ore drops those items, it also drops the item used to make more of the ore, and lapis and redstone can be crafted together to make that item as well. If you want to get items fast, ANY pickaxe from Tinkers Construct should mine it. However, the vanilla ones are for crafting use ONLY in this modpack, and can't mine it. If that wasn't the case, you'd just need a wooden pickaxe to do it.

Ars Magica 2 is actually quite interesting. You can create spells that can do damage, that can create light, can mine like an iron pickaxe, and a lot more. Be warned that going to a dimension created by Mystcraft or RFTools will likely reset your Ars Magica 2 spell level and it's data. There are plenty of spells to craft with this, one of which is for a spell that gives an effect called "true sight", this allows you to pass through a type of magic block that can be used to hide an entrance or exit, as with the effect off, it looks like one of the surrounding blocks. There are also damage spells, and even a mining spell. Try it out, you might really enjoy it!

Mystcraft is designed in a way that you need ink from squids, and dimensional pages (you find these in dungeons or from villagers, and also in created dimensions) to craft dimensions from the pages using a specific type of table, the dimension is stored in a book, be careful with the book, if it is destroyed, and you have no linking book to that dimension made, the dimension is lost. Linking books are needed to get back to the overworld, if you don't have a linking book, it's VERY hard to get back to the overworld.

RFTools uses machines to create and sustain dimensions you create. They require items called "dimlets" to be made. The dimensions CAN be unstable though, so be careful with how you craft them. The machines use an energy called Redstone Flux, or RF. You can find dimlets in dungeons, or in created rftools dimensions. This is the better mod for dimensional crafting, as you can make superflat worlds of all ore blocks, and that includes the mined versions that are crafted into blocks. you can also make worlds of all liquid (with the spawn area being PARTIALLY protected using blocks), using Ender IO, you could pump the liquid out of a liquid world using an Ender-Thermic pump, you need an Ender Tank to do that, i THINK that item was from either MineFactory Reloaded, or one of the Thermal mods (Thermal Dynamics/Foundation/Expansion). There are plenty of other blocks you can use for the worlds, but some draw a LOT OF RF, so, make sure your world has power! On a side note, you will also need a MineFactory Reloaded chunk loader at the location where the dimension power machine is, and where the power source is, along with the wires. If this is not done, the dimension will lose power and will kill you if you are in it.

Tinkers Construct adds new metals and tools, as I said before, the vanilla mining tools are disabled for use in mining. In fact, so are some of the mod tools. Shovels, pickaxes, axes, cannot mine unless they are from Tinkers Construct. So you need to know how to use it before using this modpack.

Big Reactors adds what is basically nuclear reactors to minecraft. Like real ones, they need coolant. Resonant Ender and Gelid Cryotheum are the best for use, but both do different effects. The reactors CAN melt down if you are not careful. The energy produced is RF (Redstone Flux). If a reactor melts down, it EXPLODES. So be careful!

Galacticraft allows space travel in minecraft, you can build space stations, visit mars and the moon, and a lot more1 you need space gear to visit those areas, as you need oxygen.

Forestry adds new trees to the game, it also adds bees, magic bees adds more types of bees to Forestry. Obtaining new trees needs either beehives, or butterflies. Butterflies can be killed to get the pollen they had, which can be applied to other compatible trees. Rubber trees are NOT compatable with Forestry! Neither is the Silverwood tree, or the witchwood tree. To obtain the pollinated sapling, you need a specific item to see the pollinated leaves, then you need a grafter to obtain them. Pollination can be done by butterflies without killing them.

As I said before, Magical Crops can be used to get ores from crops. AgriCraft can improve on the rate you get crops, and is compatible with Magical Crops. When using Magical Crops, it's best to use a watering can to speed up growth, normal bone meal won't work on it, as it has a special form of bone meal to use. The crops can be harvest automated with some items. The ores from the crops can be VERY helpful. HOWEVER, you need to craft the items from the essence dropped by the crops.

This covers what I can think of at the present time. If more info comes my way, I will update the description.
