Infinite Power

Tagline: “Lucraft’s wonders and OreSpawn’s nightmares collide — craft nothing like you expect, find bosses behind every hill, and fight until your inventory weeps.”

1) High-level vision

A hardcore adventure-survival modpack where:

All crafting recipes are scrambled (so the player can’t rely on known recipes — experimentation and discovery are key).
Too many bosses to count — OreSpawn + Lucraft provide dozens; we crank up boss density and add scripted boss waves.
Emergent progression — you’ll unlock tech/magic/mob tiers via exploration, boss drops, and quests, not simple recipe knowledge.
Replayability focus — randomized recipes each world/seed; permadeath optional; leaderboard support for speedruns.

2) Core gameplay loops

Explore — find dungeons, biomes, and hidden arenas that spawn specialized bosses.
Fight — defeat bosses to obtain unique loot that unlocks new crafting/machine recipes or skill nodes.
Discover — because recipes are scrambled, you must experiment at specialized workstations and use scanning tools/books to record new recipies.
Progress — accumulate boss trophies, tech parts, and grimoire pages to open endgame content and final boss gauntlets.

3) Suggested mod roles & examples

(Use these categories to pick compatible mods for your chosen MC version. I avoid naming fringe/unreliable mods for accuracy; swap in equivalents as needed.)

World / Content

Lucraft (core: tech, structures, bosses)
OreSpawn (lots of mobs, mini-bosses, bosses, dimensions)
Additional boss/content mods (to stack bosses): e.g. Mob Mashups, Lycanite’s Mobs style mods (or similar), dimension mods

Crafting / Recipe control

CraftTweaker (for scripting recipe changes)
A recipe randomizer mod or script-layer (see CraftTweaker approach below)
JEI (hidden or restricted, optional — you can hide recipe view to enforce discovery)

Quests / Progression

FTB Quests or BetterQuesting (quest chains, boss unlocks, progression gates)

Loot / Drops

LootTweaker (change boss drops)
CustomNPCs or similar to add vendor/quest NPCs

Difficulty / Boss arenas

Astral Sorcery-style boss arenas (or configure Lucraft arenas)
Custom spawner tools: e.g., InControl or other spawn control mod

Utility / QoL

Waystones / Teleporters (optional, can be gated behind bosses)
Inventory tweaks (limited, to keep survival tension)
Dynmap / Map mods for server admins (optional)

Balance / Server

Sponge/KubeJS or server-side scripting to add boss waves, scale health/damage with world age

4) Recipe scramble system — design & goals

Goal: players cannot rely on base-game recipes. They must discover or earn recipes.

Options:

Full randomization at world creation: map each vanilla & modded recipe output to a random crafting recipe (shaped/shapeless). Keep some exceptions (e.g., dirt, stick?) or make everything a puzzle.
Tiered scrambling: early-game items are scrambled to other early items; boss-tier items are locked behind boss drops.
Progressive reveal: defeating bosses or completing quests unlocks fragments of the recipe database (think: discovering runes that reveal a recipe).

Implementation approach (practical):

Use CraftTweaker to remove and re-add recipes at load time.
Generate a recipe mapping script (Python/JS externally) that outputs CraftTweaker ZenScript to replace recipes with scrambled ones. Each world generation run should optionally re-generate the mapping file for a unique scramble.
