Steam & Stardust is a tech, adventure, and exploration modpack, largely focusing on Vanilla-like improvements. Utilizing 300+ mods to provide a customized experience, while offering improved control for your client settings and performance. It features more biomes, expansive weapons and armor, new structures, stronger bosses, unique progression, and new game mechanics. The focused tech additions are Create, Mekanism, and AE2.
Additional dimensions or expansions of dimensions are included, such as The Aether, Dimensional Doors, Ad Astra, and all of YUNG's overhauls.

Quality of Life: New features like Waystones, JourneyMap, Notes, HorseStatistics, Gravestones, AllTheTrims, Building Gadgets, Cameras, Better Beacons, Fast Ladder Climbing, and much more. Lots of visual and inventory improvements are also provided. Fletching table use, and a Sawmill for woodblock variants! Is rotten flesh piling up? Smelt it into leather! Horse buffs! UI and GUI fixes or additions for default features or additional configuration. Please note there is a togglable Simple Voice Chat.

World Generation: New biomes, and structures, with revamped dimensions and default structures. Dungeons and Taverns, When Dungeons Arise, the YUNG's suite, Biomes o' Plenty, Luki's Grand Capitals, Moog's Structures, and Deep Dark Regrowth. We even have Trial Chambers! Enhanced Celestials for elaborate moon cycles. Incendium expands existing biomes and the build height of the Nether. Better Archeology! Quark!

Dimensions: The Aether, one most know about, but we've included Aether Redux and Aether Villages to spice things up. Ad Astra adds new celestial bodies to explore. Become an astronaut and create rockets, space suits, and other machines. Explore, but beware of the void and its destructive tendencies!

New challenging mobs and bosses from mods like L_Ender's Cataclysm, Mowzie's Mobs, Infernal Mobs, Legendary Monsters, BE Style Wither, Ender Trigon, Zombie Awareness, and Weeping Angels. New and enhanced gear along with combat mechanics. Collect Artifacts and Special Drops for boosts! New enchantments and enchantment caps. You can even enchant your pets, thanks to Domestication Innovation! Timeless and Classics Zero, along with supporting add-ons to add guns to the game. Ballistix adds new explosives and ICBMs.

Tech: Create, along with 30+ addons for more features and better integration with other mods. Mekanism, along with a few supporting add-ons. Applied Energistics 2, Sophisticated Backpacks, and Storage Drawers for storage expansion. Electrodynamics (mainly for Ballistix) also adds machines. Automobility, Immersive Aircraft, and Small Ships for new traversal methods.

Building: We've got mods to bring all sorts of building additions as well! Macaw's Suite, Fantasy Furniture, Supplementaries, Design n' Decor, Amendments, Immersive Paintings, Lasers Bridges, Armor Statues, Target Dummies, and more! Plus any blocks added from other mods! Vertical slabs and new block variants thanks to Quark. Build a Torchmaster to keep mobs away too!

Keybinds & Overrides:

Look, there are a lot of mods in this pack, and most will try to use the same keys by default. Keyboard sizes vary greatly by player, but I have a full-sized keyboard and then some. I have included the options file, so I have set some keybinds. I have not yet set a custom keybind for absolutely everything. Please note that this will also provide settings that I have configured for my own game, though I did lower some specifically for export. I advise you to review and test those at your discretion.

You should be able to navigate and manage those keybinds more easily, thanks to some mods. Don't forget you can do multiple keys to a command, like ALT + [KEY], CTRL + [KEY], or even [KEY] + [KEY]. Please note that if you use multiple keys, it will tell you there's a key conflict if one of those is used elsewhere. But it's fine.
I wouldn't recommend trying to hash out every single key at the start. Just review a fair bit, and let yourself change keybinds as you play to find what's most optimal for your gameplay.
