🐸 GenxeSMP — Kitchen Sink Shenanigans
GenxeSMP is a kitchen sink modpack where you can cook like a goblin chef, automate like a mad scientist, explore like you totally meant to go that way, and still decorate your base until it looks like a fancy pondside café. It’s built for variety: tech, magic, food, exploration, loot, building, and a mountain of quality-of-life so you can spend more time playing and less time arguing with your inventory.
⭐ Core Gameplay Pillars (the “big toys”)
- Create — belts, gears, and contraptions that make you whisper “I can automate that” at 2 AM. (Warning: may cause sudden factory expansion.)
- Mekanism (+ Generators / Tools) — advanced ore processing, machines, and power for when one furnace feels like a personal insult.
- Applied Energistics 2 (+ wireless terminals & expansion add-ons) — ME networks, autocrafting, and storage that stops your base from turning into “Chest City: Population You.”
- Refined Storage (+ integrations) — an alternate storage route with handy cross-mod support if that’s your vibe.
- Apotheosis (plus related modules) — progression-friendly loot, stronger enchanting, and “how is this item legal?” moments that keep gear upgrades exciting.
- Ars Nouveau + Iron’s Spells ’n Spellbooks — spellcasting, utility magic, and combat options for the axolotl that chose violence (politely).
🍲 Food, Farming, and the Frog Chef Lifestyle
This pack leans hard into the kitchen sink concept, and the kitchen is fully stocked. You’ll have plenty of crops, ingredients, and cooking paths—whether you’re roleplaying a tavern cook or optimizing meals like you’re speedrunning dinner.
- Farmer’s Delight — the core cooking & rustic farming system that makes food feel “real.”
- Pam’s HarvestCraft 2 (Crops / Trees / Food Core / Food Extended) — massive ingredient variety and food crafting. If it grows, you can probably turn it into something delicious.
- Croptopia + Farmer’s Delight Croptopia — more crops and meals, plus nice cross-compat.
- Cooking for Blockheads — kitchen utilities that make food crafting less “where did I put the pot?” and more “yes chef.”
- Farming for Blockheads — seed shopping and farming conveniences that save a ton of early-game hassle.
- Delight Add-ons — a buffet of expansions like Cultural Delights, Ender’s Delight, My Nether’s Delight, Ocean’s Delight, Miner’s Delight+, Expanded Delight, Display Delight, and more.
- Botany Pots + Botany Trees (plus tiers/compat) — grow things passively so you can keep building, exploring, or committing harmless amphibian mischief.
- Spice of Life: Carrot Edition — encourages food variety; the more diverse your diet, the happier (and stronger) your little frog adventurer feels.
🗺️ Exploration & Travel (for frogs who wander)
- JourneyMap — map, minimap, and navigation so you stop “accidentally” living in a cave for three days.
- Waystones — fast travel that keeps exploration fun instead of exhausting.
- Towns and Towers + Moog’s Structures — more interesting places to find, loot, and move into (temporarily…)
- Lootr — better looting for multiplayer so the first frog there doesn’t steal everything.
- Small Ships / Immersive Aircraft — extra ways to travel when your legs are tired and your ego is large.
🏠 Building & Decoration (make the pond palace real)
- Macaw’s series — doors, windows, roofs, bridges, lights, stairs, paths, fences, trapdoors, and more for clean builds.
- Handcrafted + Chipped — a bigger block palette and décor variety for builders.
- Supplementaries (+ Amendments) — functional details and extra building toys that make bases feel alive.
- Chimes, Fast Paintings, Macaw’s Paintings — small touches that go a long way.
🧰 Quality of Life (Less “inventory pain,” more “ribbit”)
GenxeSMP includes a strong QoL lineup so you’re not fighting the UI while the frogs laugh at you. Here are some standouts you’ll notice immediately:
- FTB Ultimine — vein mine / multi-mine for faster gathering without breaking your mouse.
- FTB Chunks — claim land and protect your builds (your pond, your rules).
- FTB Quests (+ ExtraQuests / optimizer tools) — optional guidance and goals so kitchen-sink freedom doesn’t feel aimless.
- JEI + EMI — recipes, uses, and lookup tools when your brain says “nope.”
- Jade (+ add-ons) — hover info so you know what you’re looking at without playing guessing games.
- Mouse Tweaks, Inventory Sorter, Crafting Tweaks — inventory/crafting cleanup that should be vanilla.
- Carry On — pick up and move certain blocks/containers (because sometimes you just need to relocate the chaos).
- Polymorph — fixes recipe conflicts so crafting doesn’t turn into a mystery novel.
- Corpse — easier recovery after you “tested fall damage for science.”
- Better Advancements + Advancement Plaques — cleaner advancement UI with a bit of flair.
- Comforts — sleeping bags/hammocks for adventuring quality-of-life.
- TrashSlot — a fast way to delete junk when your pockets become a landfill.
- Nature’s Compass + Explorer’s Compass — find biomes/structures without 3-hour frog marches.
⚡ Performance & Visual Options (Smooth like an axolotl in a river)
The pack is tuned with performance helpers and optional eye-candy so it can feel good on servers and still look great. Shaders are available if your PC is feeling brave.
- Performance helpers: Sodium, ModernFix, FerriteCore, Entity Culling, ImmediatelyFast, FastBoot, FastFurnace, Clumps, and friends.
- Visual flair (optional): Complementary Shaders (Reimagined/Unbound), dynamic/animation helpers, and lighting polish.
In short: GenxeSMP is a buffet. Cook everything, automate everything, explore everything, decorate everything. Become the amphibian legend your world deserves.
Tip: Back up your world before updates. Even axolotls believe in safety nets. 🐸🦎
