Overview

This Modpack brings together a collection of Mods to enhance Minecraft in a number of key ways:

Constructing contraptions/vehicles

The Create mod is a popular Minecraft modification that allows players to build complex contraptions and automate processes using mechanical components and rotational power.
It enhances gameplay by providing a variety of tools and blocks for building, decoration, and aesthetic automation.
This is further enhanced by the Valkyrien Skies mod which adds realistic physics and allows you to create boats and airships that can float and move in the game.
I've included the Trackwork mod so that it is also possible to create wheeled and tracked vehicles.

Weaponry

As the name suggests, the Create Big Cannons mod allows you to do exactly that, and the Create: Gunsmithing mod provides smaller steampunk inspired guns (Flintlock, Revolver, Shotgun, Nailgun & Gatling).
CBC Modern warfare fills the gap and provides more modern weapons such as multiblock medium cannons to launch Rockets and Torpedoes.

Magic

The Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks mod introduces a classic RPG spellcasting fantasy aspect to Minecraft letting you fight dangerous wizards, raid a plethora of new structures, delve through dungeons, collect resources and spells, and find powerful magical artifacts!

Also included are a few aesthetic improvements like the Biomes O' Plenty mod which adds a slew of new, unique biomes to the Overworld, Nether, and End!
To go along with the new biomes, it adds new plants, flowers, trees, building blocks, and much more!
The Torturable Healthbars mod is included to change the way Mobs appear based on their health so that they look increasingly injured the more you attack them.

Version and compatibility

The Minecraft version is 1.20.1 because some of the mods have not yet been updated to 1.21.* and this is the maximum version that is supported to include all the mods.
The included create mod is Create 1.20.1 0.5.1j (the last version pre 6.0) so it's compatible with valkrien skies.
The included create-big-cannons mod is createbigcannons-5.8.2-mc.1.20.1-forge to ensure compatibility with a pre-6.0 create mod.
