Description
Complicated Contraptions is a kitchen-sink style pack with PneumaticCraft, Mekanism, Refined Storage, Botania, Immersive Engineering, Create, CC: Tweaked, and Little Logistics (plus Little Contraptions!) as the staple tech mods. Ars Nouveau, Blood Magic, Occultism, Hex Casting, and Apotheosis are the magic mods included, along with lots of other nice mods like Tinkers Construct, Farmer's Delight, Building Gadgets, Sushi Go Crafting, Nature's Compass, Quark, and Sophisticated Backpacks and Storage. For exploration and mob mods, there are Alex's Mobs, Artifacts, Brutal Bosses, Hiccup's Legacy, Lootr, Incendium, Terralith, Twilight Forest, Dimensional Dungeons, Enigmatic Legacy, Scaling Health, Realistic Horse Genetics, Waystones, along with YUNG's Better Dungeons, Mineshafts, Strongholds, Bridges, and Extras.
I also put a few mods in like the FTB Suite and Craft Tweaker and CreateTweaker because I intend to make some custom recipes for more cross-mod interaction in a future update.
If you have any suggestions for a mod you feel would fit in the pack, let me know! I am open to adding mods in future updates, and making alternate recipes for things that usually would be generated in-world to make updating simple. 2.0 update is out, next one will be in June for mod updates and maybe one or two new ones if they release 1.18.2 versions. (Namely Thaumcraft, Astral Sorcery).
I will add recipes like in the 2.0 update to make sure you can (mostly) use the new mods without generating new chunks or doing retrogen. Related tip: Botania has a flower that spawns mobs that drop dungeon loot, if you need more than you can easily find in-world.
