This is the HOT CHEESE mod pack!
Some Big Mods:
Thermal Series:
Consisting of Thermal Foundation, Thermal Expansion, Thermal Dynamics, and Thermal Innovation, this set of mods allows you to do some great things with technology. Everything is universally upgradeable through several different tiers, and machines can be augmented to perform actions differently or more efficiently. It adds materials like tin, copper, aluminum, lead, and silver, along with various alloys that are essential for progression. This set of mods is a powerful tool for advancing your gear and surviving in style.
Refined Storage:
Similar to Applied Energistics 2, but simpler. This mod enables the use of virtual storage systems for items. These systems are modular and upgradable, they can perform crafting operations, and they can even interface with machines from other mods. They run on energy from other mods, such as the Thermal Series, Solar Flux, or Extra Utilities 2.
Botania:
This is a magic mod that centers around flowers and nature. It has its own Mana system that you can fuel through various methods in the mod. You can use mana and flowers to make interesting gadgets and powerful tools and armor. It comes with it's own tutorial book, called the Lexica Botania, that can guide you along the way!
It is 1.12.2 so some of the mods are still in development, but overall they are functional. It includes magic, a little bit of tech, some tool making, and a bunch of utility and quality-of-life mods. Customized default controls are added to make getting started a little easier, although some of the controls may be different than what you are used to for those mods. Enjoy!
