brandonithink's Create Horizons

Welcome to BrandoniThink's Create Horizons, a pack aimed at bringing vanilla only players into the crazy world of Modded Minecraft. Now this isn't just a huge kitchen-sink pack; it's a Create-centric experience built from the ground up to show vanilla players what happens when you swap the diamond pickaxe for a wrench and cogs. We’ve crammed plenty of the biggest Create Addons into this thing—from train decorations, jetpacks, and enchantments to industrial automation—so you will be able to automate anything your heart desires once you figure out how. The main tech path runs from simple gears into the serious power of Immersive Engineering (no crazy tech mods yet, those scare new players).

The One Progression Change: The Refined Storage (a later game item storage mod) Controller has a modified recipe, you'll have to create or automate precision mechanisms before crafting it. - But that's it, I wanted to force myself to use Create's new inventory system for at least a little bit before diving into autocrafters and digital storage offered in Refined Storage.

The world itself has been replaced with something worth exploring. Thanks to Continents and Geophilic, you’ll be building your elaborate factories on massive, structured landmasses. There are new structures to explore all over with Dungeons and Taverns, Moog's Structure Mods and ChoiceTheorem's Overhauled Villages. And don't forget about Distant Horizons, which will let you see the entire continent you're on, giving you a proper sense of scale. It's a gorgeous, cinematic world—just don't get too attached to your body, as you'll find it lying dead when something inevitably kills you (Corpse mod).

This is a pack also intended for server play, there are plenty of more fun/smp-esqe mods added like Automobility, lootr, Some assembly required, Chat Heads, and the FTB library of mods to make the SMP experience more entertaining and easy to manage.

For those concerned about lag: Yes, there are nearly 200 mods, but I've included enough performance and optimization mods (Sodium, Lithium, etc.) to keep your framerate up, even with shaders enabled (There are packs out there with over 500 mods that run fine). You'll also find many of the Quality of Life mods that come with any modern pack (Jade, Waystones, Carry On), plus a whole tool progression line from Just Dire Things for when you finally hit that late-game automation phase and want to start crossing the line into borderline OP territory.

This pack is a medium-sized journey with a completely revamped vanilla experience and enough decoration mods to ensure your factories don't look like concrete blocks. Now get to work.

Automobility for Minecraft 1.21.1 by FoundationGames is not yet on Curseforge - luckily it is on Modrinth and has been included in the pack
