Hey there,
Are you a vanilla player, wanting to get into modded minecraft but can't find a way without being flooded with to many mods at once?
Are you a modded player who just wants to try out vanilla again, but not AS much vanilla as real vanilla?
I got in exactly this position. We got a realm server (so no mods possible) and i felt like i learned a lot over the last two weeks. I learned how many things we take as granted when we play modded and how many things most of the modded players never use. When was the last time you used a fishingrod to get enchanted books? When was the last time you fired your furnace with blazerods because it was the easiest method?
This pack is meant as a point in between these worlds. Enough vanilla to let a vanilla player find their way through, enough modded to keep a modded player busy for a moment, but most important enough of both so you can and need to get both mechanically working to get best results.
This pack features 3 parts:
First: Vanilla and vanilla enhancements. Here i have quark from Vazkii which enhances minecraft in a dozen ways and lets you do a lot of thinks you really should be able to in vanilla.
Also, thinks like FastLeaveDecay and DoubleJump (adds the doublejump enchantment for boots), Hopperducts and IronChests, Muon and RedstonePaste. All in All: Keep the vanilla theme but lets you do a bit more.
Second: Clientside mods. These Types of mods you can technically use on every vanilla server, as long as its not protected (and there are mods for this version...). From Sound Filters to a Minimap, from inventory tweaks to a better HUD, these are things which just improve your quality of game.
Third: Contentmods. These mods are specifically here to increase the things you can do outside of vanilla but within the theme of it. Botania especially is built very much around vanilla redstone to automate nearly everything. Roots is here to increase the "nature magic" theme a bit more and as both are very neatly documented ingame it's not hard for new players to find a way to use them.
Other than them I added Chisel, Chisels&Bits, Decocraft2 and Architecturcraft for more possibilities to build and create.
I hope some of you will like it and if you have any questions or bugreports feel free to post them here :)
Have fun,
Gilfort
p.s. I might add some small quality of life mods from time to time (without breaking anything you got!).
