Lightweight modpack that is a collection of medieval style mods I believe are suitable for an enjoyable medieval experience that doesn't overwhelm the player from the start. Includes magic from Electroblob's Wizardy, kingdom building from Ancient Warfare 2, some QoL features, dragons, and lots to explore. It's recommended to use realistic terrain generation for a more immersive, journey style experience. Please let me know of any recommendations of mods to add to the modpack you think would fit :)
