This is kind of a Vanilla+ modpack(sorta), but basically this is for a civilization project. With a map I made in worldpainter, I would simulate different civilizations, and still progress through minecraft as well.
Here are some of the mods:
Essential Mod: Adds emotes, more multiplayer capabilities, etc.
Quark: Adds a ton of tweaks to the game, making Minecraft way more convenient.
Timeless And Classics Zero: GUNS!!!!!!!!
Iron Jetpacks: Adds Jetpacks powered be FE.
There are also Resource Packs and Shaders! Here are some of them:
Complementary Reimagined: An amazing shader making Minecraft look amazing.
Fresh Animations: Changes the minecraft mob's animations and makes them incredible.
