Lore of Rhu'Naria: Age of Gears

What is being added?

Refined Storage : This adds an easier to craft ME system for storing items. It is noteworthy however that this ME system cannot hold anywhere near as much as the ME system from Applied Energistics 2, but should make digital storage easier to access early game

Sophisticated Storage: This one has been requested for a long while and yes I am finally caving. Here are your extra OP barrels and chests.

BYN - Blocks you need adds hundreds of new blocks and decorative variants to the game which can be both found in the world and crafted at a table. Some blocks are more intuitive to craft than others but all of them are indeed obtainable in survival mode

Xtones - adds even more blocks and variants to the game all of which are obtainable through crafting in survival mode

Fairy Lights - the princess of Rhu'Naria has requested fairy lights for decoating purposes and I am sure you will all agree these lights and decorations are really something

Nether Delight and Nether Delight Add on - Adds a cpl dozen more foods to the game based off of crops and edibles found in the Nether Dimension!

Create Advanced Crafting: several new Create recipes such as for totem of undying and other harder to get items

Create Cobblestone & Create Easy Stone Generators: adds several new blocks to the game which generate Stone materials at the cost of Stress Units

Create Kart: Adds the ability to craft Go Karts using a mechanical crafter and other Create processes. Yes, an actual working motor with wheels you can drive around.

Daily Rewards: Adding a daily login reward system that has yet to be configured. Players will receive rewards for logging in 1 hour after login, and even greater rewards for logging in the next day and day after. I will be taking suggestions as to what daily rewards should be offered and configure them for 0.0.8

We are also adding several server side tools, such as Kubejs, FTB quests, ftb filters and some other admin related mods.

Added over 65 new items to the game that are original items coded by yours truly

introducing a new Legendary Item and a Crafting Tree for a new relic called "The Heart of Rhu'Naria". You will be able to actually craft the Heart of Rhu'Naria in game using a series of inter connected craffting recipe chains. While holding the Heart, player will receive Immunity from fall dmg, creative mode flight with no mana or FE cost, Immunity from Death

The Heart of Rhu'Naria is based off of the Lore of the Realm which you can find in our discord https://discord.gg/aZBgjQGkQb
Wa'Tozers heart has shattered and scattered to pieces over the Earth, and her power now seeps out to the surface in the form of Crystals! You must find and process all of the necessary Crystals to capture, refine, and purify, and condense these powerful energies into blocks and materials for the recipe to Rebuild The Heart of Rhu'Naria!

Added several new Crushing Wheel recipes for convenience, all geore and geore blocks will now crush into thier matching crystal shard type

Fixed the recipe for Ground Pork not being obtainable in survival, now you can simply use a Smoker or smelt uncooked ground pork in any type of furnace

Fixed the recipe for Basalt Bricks in the Some More blocks mod, now basalt decorative variants can be crafted in survival.

Resurrected Shadow Metal and Refined Radiance from the dead code of Create. These are metals that no longer have recipes which were used for Create in Create 0.0.4 

Shadow metal and Refined radiance can now be crafted using recipes found in JEI, and their matching casing can be crafted using a deployer

All Heart of Rhu'Naria materials show up in JEI by using @Kubejs in search bar of JEI

Added a new starter kit config which does not include a backpack for technical reasons, but does include generous basic gear and guide books.

Adding the base foundation of what we have completed for the Quest book as of the date of this post

This update moves us to forge version 47.4.20


What are we removing??
I am removing MineColonies, the additional entity in the world add extra un needed stress to the hardware especially when we have times of heavy activity.
I am removing Croptopia, it is a very old and unfinished Foods mod that we all love dearly but it is time to move on. The guide book in the game for it is broken and cant be fixed. Many of the recipes within it are not very intuitive either. 
Removing Mythic mounts because all of the entity that it generates add un needed and unwanted stress on server resources in multiplayer
