The Briar Patch 3 Modpack! An enjoyable mix focusing on additions to Technology, Farming and Agriculture, Quality of life Utilities, and the Minecolonies mod!

Additions to the modpack are done in a mindful way regarding mods that lag game performance with either graphics or server load. That being said - there is a LOT of content added! See for yourself!
