***Notice*** The minimum recommended amount of RAM you should assign to Equinox is 4GB. Any lower and you will experience in-game stutter and crashes. We recommend 4-6GB to have a pleasant experience with Equinox, any more is overkill and overall bad for your computer.

To optimise your RAM usage, we recommend you use these advanced arguments in the Curse/Twitch launcher:

***1.12*** The minimum recommended amount of RAM for 1.12 is 8GB for single-player and 6GB for multiplayer.

***Info*** Although we may not mark a build as release often, we will frequently be updating the Beta channel.

Welcome to Equinox, a very heavily modded version of Minecraft based around technology and magic.

Featuring many fan favourites such as Thermal Foundation, RFTools, Tinkers Construct and Industrial Craft, all the way to Ars Magica, Botania, Mystical Agriculture and Forestry, with everything in between.

Receiving frequent updates and support, Equinox strives to be one of the best and most varied out-of-the-box modded Minecraft experiences anyone can have, casual player and server owner alike.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Lore Based Description:

Equinox is a battle for balance between technology and magic. Whether your motives be good or evil, your practices light or dark. You will be tested. The world is full of monsters that seek to tear you apart, but that's just the beginning. You don't win in Equinox. You'll find yourself bouncing around the skies of the Aether, to barely managing to survive the bowels of the Nether. Hundreds of new items and machines that you never thought possible, there to both aid and hinder your progress in this brave new world, full of biomes yet to be explored. Let's get shwifty.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Friendly to Users and Servers:

Built off the Direwolf20 1.10 FTB Pack as a base, Equinox has been designed and tested to add back many things we believed were missing from the pack, as well as adding many quality of live improvement mods both client and server side to aid in performance and add more content for the player.

This pack has also been tested to run on both Forge and the SpongeForge server software, providing BungeeCord support and allowing owners to link Equinox to Spigot servers.

If using this pack on your server, we request that you credit us in some way. This credit does not require advertising our IP, a simple mention of Matecraft would suffice.
