Description

This modpack is intended to give you a bit of a challenge while you explore the world and automate yourself into Nirvana. It has a few mods to overhaul terrain and structures, add new features, and just make life easier.

I tried to keep the mods minimal to not make the download size and impact on the memory too large.

This is a modpack I created because I felt either overwhelmed or underwhelmed by the other modpacks on the platform. Some basics:

Minecraft Version

The version is 1.20.1 and I don't intend on changing that. Simply because I prefer 1.20.1 over newer or older versions.

Visuals

Colorful Containers and Mandala GUI for a darker theme that's more friendly on the eyes.
Fresh Textures to liven up vanilla textures.
Complimentary Reimagined as a shader, because I like the look of it.
Wakes for some ultimately useless but visually appealing water effects.
Has some mods that add/change GUI items, so some of them might overlap.
Dynamic Lights for cool lighting effects.
Variants and Ventures for new mob variants.
Xaero's World Map and Minimap for navigation.
Oculus with Embeddium for shaders and optimising.
A resource pack to Create-ify Sophisticated Backpacks.
Appleskin to show saturation.

Mods

Focus Mods

These mods are in my opinion the 'core' mods of the pack. They have a bunch of add-ons for them, but I tried to keep it minimal.

Create because it's the best mod of course.
Farmer's Delight because it adds a lot of new food options.
Ice and Fire because Dragons are cool.

Terrain Generation

Terralith for Vanilla-friendly tweaks to Overworld terrain generation.
Alex's Caves because it adds a lot of new things to explore.
Quark because it adds a lot of nice Vanilla+ features.
Even Better Nether for a Nether overhaul.
End's Phantasm for an End overhaul.
A bunch of Yung's mods because they look pretty good.
Alex's Mobs and Naturalist for more animal variety.
Continents arranges terrain into more sensible landmasses.

QOL

JEI, Jade and a bunch of add-ons for JEI to help with all the added content.
Sophisticated Backpacks for hoarding items.
Sophisticated Storage for larger storage containers.

Added Features

Cold Sweat for added Survival difficulty.
Immersive Weathering to upgrade the environment.
Epic Fight for a combat refresher.
Ars Nouveau to make magic great again.
Scorched Guns to bring some freedom to Minecraft.
Serene Seasons because it makes the world seem more alive.

Utility Mods

Supplementaries for some extra Vanilla+ stuff.
Pick Up Notifier for a cute RPG-style pickup notification.
Polymorph because it is the undisputed GOAT of solving recipe conflicts.
Mouse Tweaks and Inventory Sorter for convenience.
Explorer's Compass and Nature's Compass for finding structures and biomes.
Curios for more equipment slots.
Carry On for the lazy people (me).

I feel that everyting not mentioned here is either inconsequential or doesn't make a change you can actually experience. I hope you download an enjoy it, and leave feedback if you want. Have fun.
