A relatively light modpack for people who like Exploring and Collecting, based around the mod Pokecube.

This pack has a long term "Gotta Catch 'Em All' goal: Only by catching enough pokemobs are you able to advance through the quest tree and get better equipment. This favors a style of gameplay where you can't just jump to the highest tier abilities within an hour.

Pokemob locations have been redesigned on a per-biome basis. Each biome, including vanilla biomes, Biomes O Plenty, Defiled Lands, and NetherEX, has its own unique population to seek out and capture. Head to a cherry blossom grove to catch cherubi, or a eucalyptus forest to find pancham. With each biome having only a handful of different species, they more closely resemble the routes from pokemon games.

ShayminCube comes with a 4000 x 4000 Painted Biomes map which includes all biomes within a reasonable distance from spawn. The map also includes improved wider rivers and smoother beaches. All biomes look nice next to their adjoining neighbors, and there's a general climate gradient. At the edges, the map transitions naturally to normal BoP generation, for further exploring.

Hundreds of structures and ruins are there to explore. Recurrent Complex, Rex's Additional Structures, and Ruins (including additional ruin packs by Gillymoth, Jordan_Greywolf, and ST753M, plus ruins specially created for this pack), and Doomlike Dungeons, including custom dungeon themes using modded blocks allowing for buried factories and exotic temples. Each variety of Doomlike Dungeon has custom chest loot added to fit the theme. Beautiful caves combine features of Underground Biomes, Quark, and Yung's better caves to provide massive cave systems for exploring

"Scavenge" style gameplay. Many items or materials can only be found by looking in different types of dungeon and ruin. Villagers and Pigtificates have been given dozens of new trades.

"Expert" style mod merging. Custom recipes require items from multiple mods for advanced equipment.

Hundreds of quests to guide progression and provide information.

A series of mods containing many beautiful blocks for creating structures of all kinds, and Effortless Building to make construction easy. Monsters only spawn from frequent monster spawners, allowing for both exciting dungeon diving and peaceful building in the same pack.
