[Development on Hold]: Development of the modded version of the Green Flameblade server is currently on hold. We are developing the vanilla version of the server first. Eventually, both versions will run concurrently. Please see the Client Enhancement modpack for the Vanilla server: Green Flameblade [Vanilla]
IMPORTANT: Be sure to download the most recent version of 1.16.5 Optifine for best performance: https://optifine.net/downloads
Overview
The Green Flameblade modpack is an immersive medieval fantasy themed modpack designed for the server that shares its name. Due to the efficiency requirements of hosting advanced multiplayer, this pack was designed to be as light and efficient as possible while still adding a significant amount of content, from diverse weapon choices to flashy magic to mythical monsters to fight. This modpack can actually launch and run on 1GB of RAM, though I would recommend allocating 4GB-8GB if you can spare it since lower RAM values can tax the cpu by constantly forcing it to do garbage collection and the like. This version includes a number of clientside mods to enhance the experience. If you would like a more bare-bones light weight experience, check out the server version of the pack: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/green-flameblade-server-version
About the Name
Green Flameblade is a reference to one of my RPG character's personal weapons, a sentient sword that burnt with green fire. In the past, I enjoyed creating versions of the weapon in various games I played, including modded Minecraft. However, I was always disappointed at the lacking amount of item visual customization in the game. I would use Tinker's Construct to make a somewhat similar looking weapon, but it was still very generic. A goal of starting the Green Flameblade server was to allow for greater diversity in the game for storytelling and roleplay. Early into the development, I stumbled upon the Armourer's Workshop mod, which allowed one to fully customize items, armor, and even player models on the pixel level. Now that the pack is updated tp 1.16, Armourer's Workshop is currently not an option. However, I have included many mods that allow one to customize their appearance and playstyle as much as possible. Epic Fight mod makes your character's animations more realistic and adds a whole new immersive combat system to the game. Chisel and Bits allows you to carve those extra details in your creations. Pam's Harvestcraft adds countless new foods and farming options. Tetra and Knight's Armory allows you to customize your character's fighting style based on many weapon types that are compatible with Epic Fight mod (in progress). So, in essence, the name Green Flameblade refers to the unlimited creative possibilities made possible through these mods.
