Easily customizable main menu backgrounds and buttons. Everything related to the buttons can be customized, including text, size, position, texture, and function. Buttons can be added / removed.
FTB Utilities adds many in-game commands - use in-game help / info commands for additional information. Chunk claiming and chunkloading is available! Default settings are quite generous, and they can be customized. Teams and ranks can be created on multiplayer servers to manage command permissions, chunk claiming/loading permissions.

The Baubles mod adds equipment slots. They are accessible by a hotkey menu (look at in-game keybinds). Other mods can be installed which have compatible items to place in baubles equipment slots! In the example photo a toolbelt is equipped.

Tool Belt mod is one of the utility mods that included with Starter Kit Deluxe. It can hold compatible items and tools and be opened with a hotkey in keybinds. Very convenient for quickly swapping and storing tools and items without needing to take up precious inventory slots.

Champions mod is added which gives all hostile mobs a small chance to spawn as a champion of that same mob type. They can spawn with multiple tiers of difficulty, each higher tier being more rare than the previous. Champions have additional health, modifiers, and abilitties. Everything can be customized in configuration settings, including chance to spawn, tiers, modifiers, and abilities.
