What is Mike's Way?

Mike's Way is my own custom pack which features mods I particularly enjoy. Beyond that this pack is designed to work well as a whole, while focusing on community building with villagers.
There is a lot of loot and treasure to be found, though drop and spawn rates need to be balanced still. Explore! Look around! There's a myriad of new biomes and mobs to encounter!

The Story

You've grown up in a village in the shadow of an ancient ruin. To you these ruins represent a mysterious past which no longer exists.

You've grown up in the cold climates, with a small community to support you, strange and monstrous creatures prowl the deeps where you regularly fish. . . and sometimes you hear a strange song on the wind.
You've awoken alone in a place that feels both strange and familiar.

The story is yours, and through in game prompts you'll be able to establish and grow yours.
