Welcome to the Monkey's Pack! This is a comprehensive modpack built for Minecraft 1.21.1 on NeoForge, focused on bringing together some of the best and most intricate systems for Magic, Tech, and Automation.

This project is a solo endeavor, built and configured by myself alone. My friends have been invaluable as dedicated testers and idea-sharers, but every configuration tweak, mod choice, and overall balance decision comes straight from me. It’s a labor of love designed to offer a deep, rewarding experience!
