Description
This modpack is intended to give the player basically a vanilla-like experience, but with their options greatly enhanced. One of the goals is that if a player, hypothetically, had never played Minecraft before, they would not really know which features were vanilla and which were modded.
It includes close to 160 mods, which are sometimes simplified or their recipes and other features are modified to integrate them with other mods or vanilla as well as possible (even some vanilla recipes are modified). Textures are also quite heavily changed to make the mods feel even more like part of the same experience.
Also, the JEI UI is made in such a way that the player should have access to all important information without the need of a wiki - with how blocks or items are used.
There is quite a lot of modpacks with this idea, but I spent about five months making this work as well as possible. :)
IMPORTANT: This modpack is intended for Survival mode and some things may be confusing if you were to play Creative mode. It is also meant to be played with hostile mobs on, you will not be able to experience many features of the modpack on Peaceful difficulty.
