Description
Modpack with a focus on exploration and progression.
Mostly avoiding mods that you have to look up a wiki for.
Upgrading/Leveling your character:
- Project MMO - Level up in mining, combat, etc. by doing those activities to get bonuses for those activities. Equipment is level gated.
- PlayerEx - Gain Stat points as you gain Minecraft exp.
- Everlasting Abilities - Spend Minecraft exp to gain permanent potion effects you find.
- Lost Trinkets - Occasionally unlock passives that you can equip.
- Spice of Life: Carrot Edition - Gain more max health by eating new foods.
- Vampirism - Become a vampire or vampire hunter and and collect materials to rank up and gain more double-sided buffs.
Gear Progression:
- Tinkers Construct - Smelt materials into weapon, tool, armor, parts and combine them to create equipment. Most materials have unique passives.
- Silent Gear - Similar to tinkers. Less time to get started, less potential.
- RelicEx - Items for your curio slots that give PlayerEx stats.
- Apotheosis - Some items will have rarity and additional affixes that can be transferred to other items.
