This modpack includes the mods listed below and a brief description of what all the mods are.

There are a few different library mods that dont add anything extra they just help tie up various mods.

Ad Astra

Ad Astra! (translation: "To the Stars!") is a space mod for Fabric and Forge with a focus on technology, travel and exploration. We've got everything you need to become an astronaut: rockets, space suits, space stations and machines. Why not take a stroll on the Moon? Build a self-sustaining bunker on Mars

Additional Lanterns

Additional Lanterns adds many new lanterns with different colors and materials! Lanterns can be turned on and off using an empty hand or with redstone.

Alex's Mobs

This mod is an amazingly expansive one. It adds in about 90 or so new mobs that are both real life counterparts or they are purely fictional. What is even greater is EVERY single mob has some sort of uniqueness to them, they each have some sort of unique function, drop unique items or have a unique mechanic so no single creature is just there for aesthetic purposes. Also this mod has a animal dictionary entry for any of the mobs you may come across in your adventures through your world.

AppleSkin

This mod helps make the food/hunger mechanic as well as the health bar more intuitive. One of my personal favorites for any modded play of Minecraft. The features are fairly easy to understand, holding a piece of food will show a blinking effect of how much hunger a piece of food will replenish, running jumping or doing a variety of other tasks will show the loss of food, also will show possible health gain from food while holding it in your hand.

Bag of Holding

Bag Of Holding adds three different tiers of bags to help with your inventory storage problems. Simply open a your bag's inventory by right-clicking the item from your hotbar. But that's not the only way to interact! Simply use the bags from within every inventory, similar to Minecraft's bundles (but much better actually).

Bartering Station [Forge & Fabric]
Bartering Station adds one brand new utility block: Put in all your gold ingots, they'll be given to the piglins in the area. All the goodies they return will automatically be collected in the station block. Now add some hoppers for inserting even more gold and extracting your returns. Profit has never been this easy.

Biomes O' Plenty

Blue Skies

This mod adds a whole new 2 separate dimensions both with its own environments, it also adds in tons of new blocks, items, mobs, structures and biomes. The two dimensions are named The Everdawn and the Everbright, each has its own theme to them as well, the Everbright is a dimension is very bright, snowy and cold whereas the Everdawn is mostly warm and darker. Each of the two dimensions have two dungeons respectively for a total of 4 dungeons with the author claiming more to come in the future.

Crafting Automat

This mod adds a single block to the game: the Crafting Automat.

• Autocrafts a recipe when it receives a redstone pulse.
• Dispenses the result into any adjacent container.
• Stays true to the vanilla experience.
• Also works like a normal crafting table with persistent inventory.

Clumps

Clumps groups XP orbs together into a single entity to reduce lag when there are many in a small area. On top of this, it also makes the player immediately collect the orbs once they touch the player, so you are not stuck with a bunch of orbs in your face. This helps with mob farms and a variety of other XP orb based task.

Customizable Elytra

Allows Elytra to be dyed and have banners placed onto them, in the same way as leather armor and shields

Diagonal Fences

Easy Anvil

Easy Anvils makes working with anvils much more enjoyable. Not only do items stay inside the interface after closing, also some annoying restrictions are removed. Also name tags can be renamed without even using an anvil. And don't forget about using formatting codes when renaming something: Stylize text as you like!

Easy Magic

Easy Magic makes it so that items stay in an enchanting table after you close the interface. The items are also rendered floating around the table block. Additionally the enchanting interface includes a button for rerolling the currently offered enchantments for a very low cost.

Easy Shulker Boxes
Easy Shulker Boxes brings some extremely useful changes to shulker boxes, making them usable from directly within your inventory. No need for placing the whole box on the ground for checking contents or adding a few item stacks! When you want to extract an item, easily scroll through all items in the box to get what you want. And believe it or not, this works with Ender Chests, too!

Elytra Slot (Fabric/Forge/Quilt)
Elytra Slot is a mod that uses Curios API/Trinkets API to add an elytra slot to the player inventory and allows the elytra to be placed into this slot. While the elytra is in this slot, it will grant the same flight capabilities as if it was in your chestplate slot. This allows the player to gain the benefits of the elytra without sacrificing an armor slot.

Golden Hoppers

Golden Hopper is a very simple mod that adds, as the mod name states, golden hoppers! They are just like a regular hopper but you can filter which item can be pulled and push. It tries to mimic the classes redstone hopper filtering design by only allowing one item to be filtered and you must also use one of the items in the filter, not just a reference. This mod is intentionally simple to keep the feel of a vanilla game.

Gravestone Mod

Every time you die, a grave is placed at your position. To retrieve your items just break the grave.

Nullscape
The End is a barren, depressing, bleak place. As it should be, and always will be. This is a datapack (packaged as a mod for Fabric and Forge) designed to overhaul the End's generation in a way that maintains this identity - a realm of utter desolation. Nullscape will make you feel tiny and alone in the vast expanse of the End. You against the void - nothing more than that.

You'll find everything from shattered islands to floating valleys to crystallized peaks. Nullscape v1.2 introduces a new terrain system based around materials science. Essentially, different regions of the End - on very large scales - have different properties and a different 'feel' to allow for almost infinite variation in terrain shapes.

Visual Workbench [Forge & Fabric]

Xaero's Minimap

Unlike many other minimap mods, Xaero's minimap keeps the aesthetic of vanilla Minecraft, which helps it be a more seamless addition to the game. It is also the first rotating square minimap for Minecraft. Among a wide variety of customization settings, there is an option for a circle-shaped minimap and a separate setting for locking the minimap's rotation (using a direction arrow instead). The minimap can display the surrounding entities, including players, mobs and items, as dots with a custom color or as icons (usually heads). In addition to the default compass directions, you can place your own waypoints that are visible both on the minimap and in the game world. Waypoints help you find previously visited locations or reach specific coordinates, with optional teleportation. The minimap can display the surrounding blocks above ground and below ground (cave mode). These are just some of the features of the mod while there are many more.

Xaero's World Map

Xaero's World Map mod adds a self-writing fullscreen map to your Minecraft client. Works as a separate mod but is a lot better with Xaero's Minimap. The reason why it's available separately is to keep Xaero's Minimap as light-weight as possible. This mod is mostly client-sided. Installing it on the server side is optional for some additional features like world identification.
