A universe rife with strangeness, full of potential.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Minecraft doesn't have enough content for extended playthroughs, so why not get ALL of the content?
Galacticraft, Industrialcraft 2, Buildcraft, Aether, Twilight Forest, The Betweenlands, Abyssalcraft, Ice and Fire, Lycanites Mobs (nerfed, no spawning things when you break blocks), and Quark are at the core, with a variety of other QoL and performance mods so this whole thing doesn't eat as much time or ram.
Exploration is the main focus, although that exploration is usually facilitated through technology or magic. You will be finding special materials to create more powerful weapons and armor, and there are a variety of balanced options. There isn't "the best" of anything that is very easy to get. Sitting on your *** collecting resources won't do as much good as in the base tech mods.
This is a comparable idea to Dungeons, Dragons, and Space Shuttles. Not a fork or anything, just expect something similar if you have played it.

If you're wondering, the image is Lovecraft and Carl Sagan showing you to an exit in the backrooms leading into a tentacle and eyeball filled solar system, because of Galacticraft and Abyssalcraft's inclusion in the mod.
