Welcome to my lightest modpack yet! Built for a small server of friends who wanted to try out Origins (who can blame them-- you get free powers!), this modpack features Origins (of course), several origins add-ons, and a few quality of life mods. New to modding? No worries! Each of the mods under the modlist spoiler has a description so you know what you're getting yourself into! As for how to use the mods, you'll find a explanation for how to download and use the Curseforge Overwolf app for mods under the modlist!

Mod List:
(Note: Only look under this spoiler if you want an idea of what's in this modpack! If you'd rather be suprised, scroll past this spoiler)

How to Download Curseforge, and download mods with it:

To begin, you'll need to go here and download the Curseforge App according to your computer type. You'll want to launch the Wizard and follow through with it. You don't need the Overwolf desktop app-- just Curseforge.

Once that's downloaded, you might want to make sure Curseforge closes when you close it by going into the settings and making sure you have "Exit Curseforge and Overwolf" checked under "When I close Curseforge". This step isn't strictly necessary, it's just to prevent Curseforge from simply minimizing when you mean to close it.

Next, click on the Minecraft option that will have popped up as one of the games on the main screen. You'll find a page that says "No profile currently downloaded" with "My Modpacks", "Browse Modpacks", and a search bar up top. Use the search bar to look for the "Cryptid Town Survival" modpack, install it, and press play! Now you've installed both Curseforge and this modpack-- no extra steps necessary!

Of course, if you don't want to download Curseforge and are already familiar with mods and modpacks, you can just download this modpack under the "files" tab on top of this page, download the fabric launcher, and put the file in your mods folder.
