IMPORTANT: This pack requires 5-6GB of RAM. If you do not have that, you will run out of memory and the pack will crash. Do not report Out of Memory errors if they occur during loading - this means you do not have enough RAM allocated.

Smartcraft 2
This is heavily customized (currently WIP) pack designed to encourage construction of long-term infrastructure as well as requiring progression through 'Sets' of mods. A 'Set' is a group of 3 mods that must be progressed through in parallel. Often times this means that a certain crafting method or ingredient from one mod is required in a central recipe of another. This pack is also designed to create a world that you want to explore. There are interesting and important things spread out across different dimensions and biomes - spells, achievements, and resources. Along with that, the world is interesting, and beautiful panoramas highlight the world. But you need to watch out! Mystical creatures also fill the world, creating a more interesting exploration experience fraught with intrigue and danger.
All of this has been accomplished using many recipe and config changes. If you wish to experience this pack as intended, it is recommended that you do not change any of these.
It is recommended to play on Normal or Hard.
