Rolling Waves

The Colonization Update is finally here! After mucho testing, we are proud to reveal this major pack upate, replete with MineColonies, Integrated Structures, and more, notwithstanding some optional graphics goodies on top.
Based around the magnificent Minecolonies mod, we've added the following set of mods:

- blockui-1.20.1-1.0.194 (dependency)
- Byzantine-1.21.1-39 (Byzantine Styles Pack for Minecolonies)
- domum_ornamentum-1.20.1-1.0.291-snapshot-universal (dependency)
- minecolonies-1.20.1-1.1.976
- multipiston-1.20-1.2.43-RELEASE (dependency)
- stylecolonies-1.20.1-1.15.39
- structurize-1.20.1-1.0.784-snapshot (dependency)
- towntalk-1.20.1-1.1.0

... and for some extraordinary villages, dungeons et al, we have also added the full IDAS set of

- DynamicTreesQuark-1.20.1-2.5.3
- idas_forge-1.12.1+1.20.1 (Integrated Dungeons and Structures)
- integrated_api-1.5.3+1.20.1-forge
- integrated_villages-1.3.0+1.20.1-forge
- integrated_stronghold-1.1.2+1.20.1-forge
- Quark-4.0-462
- quark_delight_1.0.0_forge_1.20.1
- Zeta-1.0-30

Some smaller addistions are also included:
 
- create-stuff-additions1.20.1_v2.1.0

Plus the usual collection of regular mod updates and patches. 

We now roll with this set of delightfully animated Resource Packs (many depend on EMF/ETF).
(Note that these are all OPTIONAL! If your client is slow, try removing them) 

• boss-refreshed-v2-1.19-1.21,
• creepers-refreshed-v1.0 (Camo Greepers),
• creepers-refreshed-fa-v1.0 (Fresh Animations for Creepers Refreshed),
• FreshCompats_v1.6 (Supplementaries Fresh Animations integration),
• idasalexsmobs-1.20 (IDAS Alex Mobs integration),
• idasbop-1.9.3-1.20.1 (IDAS Biomes-o-plenty integration),
• intstrong_alexsmobs-1.0.0-1.20.1 (IDAS Stronghold Alex Mobs integration)
  ,

Remember to have the Fresh Animations add ons above the Fresh Animations resource pack so they load properly. Ignore any warnings about "made for another version", they're fine. (Note: We tried the Refreshed Golems resource pack but couldn't get it to work, just invisible golems. Graphics problems also made Better Cats 0.09 fail, sadly. And we dialled FA back a version to stop hollow pigs and cows appearing)
The Simple Clouds mod also works great with the pack, but eats up a LOT of GPU resources, so it might be best for single-player worlds only for now.
Finally, there are couple of wgen mods that are not (yet) used on our server, but included in the pack. Changes to Wgen may significantly affect older worlds, so use with caution. They are 

• iceandfire-2.1.13-1.20.1-beta-5.jar (the dragons may cramp your style),
• tectonic-3.0.15-forge-1.20.1,
• Terralith_1.20.x_v2.5.4,
• lithostitched-forge-1.20.1-1.4.1

It seems RAM is still optimal at 6-8GB, but you can give it more if you like. And the mod Canary was removed, because it actually caused more problems than it solved with these extra mods in the pack. And there is still a bug caused by The Factory Must Grow that sometimes spams the client with errors when looking at entities. 
May you have fun getting lost in the waves of machinations!
