New modpack for the fifth season of Hybrid SMP;

The new 2.0 version update overhauls the modpack to a more Vanilla+ experience, with the goal of long term, slow and gradual progressive gameplay.

The main design philosophies for this update are to expand upon vanilla systems and offer more convenient improvements for vanilla-style gameplay;

Mods such as Easy Anvils, Easy Magic, Visual Workbench, and Trimmable Tools are added to enhance regular vanilla features like crafting, enchanting, and tool management;

Tools and incentives for building infrastructure have been added, such as:

Building Gadgets (building faster in larger scale)
Via Romana (rewards building roads and paths between points of interest)
Magic Feather (offers creative flight but only in becaon range)
HB's Ore Clusters and Regen, and More Geodes (points of interest underground that are static and cannot be moved)
Horseman (improves riding mechanics and makes using mounts more viable)
Boatload (improves boats and adds boat types)
Create (offers tools for long distance travel and automation of generating resources)
Farmer's Delight and Spice of Life: Carrot Edition (incentivizes and rewards farming different crops)

World generation is mostly centered around vanilla, with a few additions and improvements:

Geophilic enhances vanilla biomes by adding small details and making them more visually appealing
Autumnity adds two autumn themed biomes, adding a slight variation to worlds without overwhelming the player with many new and different biomes
Cascades: Hybrid Beta will be added server-side to improve world gen and add natural points of interest, such as sharp mountains and cliffs and underground rivers
