This medium-light rustic fantasy-themed modpack revolves around the core gameplay loop of Minecolonies, Mana and Artifice, and dimension exploration mods, with additional mods to enhance decoration, farming, and world aesthetics. No biomes have been added to the Overworld, but most vanilla biomes have been enhanced with additional plants and animals. Some of the thematic goals for this pack are: no tech mods or anything modern or futuristic, no creative flight, no chunkloading, and sticking with a fairly light modded experience.

Important notes:

Be sure to enable Icon Xaero's resource pack to add more entity icons to the map. It has an alert that it is incompatible, but you can ignore this.
Pick Up Notifier is enabled by default. It is highly configurable so be sure to view the config options for it. You can disable it entirely by opening pickupnotifier-client config, "General" section, and turn off "Include Arrows", "Include Experience", and "Include Items".
Distant Horizons is enabled by default. If you have any performance problems at all, try turning it off and see if that fixes them. In Options, to the left of the FOV slider, there's a button for Distant Horizons settings. Toggle Enable Rendering to turn it on or off. You can also try adjusting the other settings and see how they impact performance. If you have any issues with dimensions besides the Overworld, try turning off Distant Horizons first.
There are two different Mooblooms added by different mods. They have different functionality so explore what they can do. The Mooblooms from Bovines and Buttercups can be bred to get different varieties.
