Mechanics Magic and Munchies is a modpack made for the sole purpose of creating a “Light-weight” but impactful mudpack that is based around three things: Industrialization, Sorcery, and good food.
This modpack is also 100% (to our knowledge) Spooky Spider-Free (Although with Origins you can become a spider if you wish….), the only spider (and insect-like creature) in the mod is the cute, lovely, and classic spider that we all know and love. If you do find a spooky spider, send a report with evidence and the mod’s name.
Since this modpack is still in development, each update could completely change the flow of the modpack, so keep in mind what version you download!
Each Gameplay Mod Explained in Brief:
The Mechanics:
Advanced Mining Dimension: This add a dimension that has the sole purpose of being used to mine. It is advised to use any form of automated mining (such as computer craft’s mining turtles)

Applied Energistics 2: it adds network-based tech and has one of the best storage systems that any mod can offer while still being decently easy to start up.
Bigger Reactors: Adds a clean and powerful, but expensive and dangerous way to generate power via the use of nuclear energy!
CC: Tweaked: Basically, allows you to program various items within the mod to do whatever your brain can muster! BUT… it can also be used to automate resource production. EX: Just input (without the “Quotes”) “Excavate (diameter of blocks you wish to mine)” in the console of a mining turtle, he’ll mine until Bedrock! Or until it runs out of fuel…
Iron Chests: Add various tiers of chests, each has grander and grander sizes of storage
Iron Furnaces: Adds various tiers of Furnaces, each getting faster and faster.

This mod does step on the toes of the other mods within this modpack (function-wise), however while it's may have the same ideas, it is vastly more complex and powerful.
