Yes, we know it. You want to put your hands on the "bleeding edge" mods. This is the modpack for it. It includes most of the mods from the Forgecraft Server (of course the public ones). So you can have the same experience that direwolf20 is having (9x9's are not included).

Even though 1.9.4 is fairly new and big mods like thaumcraft, mekanism and Intangible are not ported yet, this pack adds new ruins and crafting recipes to fill the emptiness.

New Crafting Recipes/Additions:

Elytra uses Forestry and Reliquary items to craft
Notch Apple is crafted with a BoP Ambrosia
Ender Crystal recipe is tweaked
Ender Pearl Dust can be extracted from some plants
Reliquary recipes use blood magic arrays
And much more..

New Ruins:

Mini ocean monuments
Also I turned some of the /u/MCNoodlor's Chunk sized builds into ruins that you can find.
Also some ruins use command blocks to spawn mobs. While discovering them them they output things to chat. To stop them, use the "/gamerule commandBlockOutput false" command. ALSO NEVER EVER DISABLE COMMAND BLOCKS IN MULTIPLAYER. This will cause command blocks to spawn in the ruins and they are not breakable in survival.
With 1.1 ruins are made fresh, so no more overported buildings, and only mini monuments use command blocks.
Also there are three types of ships in the seas with different loots; black:blacksmith loot, red:pyramid loot, blue:dungeon loot

100% Custom Ore Generation:

Ore gen is altered to force people for caving instead of shaft mining.

Iron and Forestry metals can't spawn below y=30
Gold and Diamond are really common but only spawn as singular ore as well as only between y=11-30
Lapis and Redstone spawn as singular ore near the lava lakes
Emerald spawn in every biome, but only above the y=80
In the nether cobalt ore only spawn below y=64 while the ardite ore spawns only above y=64
Resonating ore only can be found under the lava pools (y=11)
Dimensional Ore spawns in overworld, only below y=5
GROUT spawns in moist places, so is the grown peat that you can harvest.

I highly suggest using Optifine. It improves the wonky 1.9.4 renders.
