A modpack focused primarily on exploration (overworld, overworld caves, end, nether, oceans, plus two new dimensions and new bosses), but also vanilla tweaks, building (numerous new wood types, blocks, furniture items), endgame content (new weapons, armors, challenges, and enchantments), farming and cooking, new mechanics (relics which that give buffs to the player), and much more. This modpack provides a much more in-depth Minecraft experience while still feeling like Minecraft. The possibilities for what you can do and what you can explore are endless.

Installation

Automatically through Curseforge launcher by downloading the desktop and installing this modpack, or manually by downloading the file from the website, unzipping using WINRAR or other software and dropping the individual mods into the mods folder in the .minecraft directory (this requires a forge install).

Performance Requirements

High end PC is recommended for gameplay with above 60 fps at 16 chunk render distance with shaders (BSL, Complimentary Shaders, and Sildurs Vibrant Shaders recommended). Even if you do not plan to run shaders, I highly recommend externally installing Optifine for the performance improvements since this is a heavy modpack (download here: https://optifine.net/downloads and installation guide here: https://youtu.be/WCfDJ7ZFB1c). If you are experiencing a low framerate I would recommend lowering render distance, setting graphics profile to fast, and using the optimal Optifine settings, guide here: https://gameplayerr.com/best-optifine-settings-for-fps/. If you are experiencing framerate inconsistency and stuttering you need to allocate more RAM to Minecraft to keep up with all the mods, if you have 8gb assign 4gb, if you have 16gb assign 8gb, if you have 32gb assign 16gb. Guide for how to allocate RAM to Minecraft Forge here: https://cubedhost.com/help/en/articles/1648388-how-do-i-allocate-more-memory-to-my-minecraft-launcher-client-side.
