Thaumcraft Optimized

A Thaumcraft 4 focused Minecraft 1.7.10 modpack

Thaumcraft Optimized is a personal modpack project built around one goal: creating a Minecraft 1.7.10 experience where Thaumcraft 4 is the main focus.

This pack started as something I made for fun because I wanted a more focused Thaumcraft experience without the overwhelming amount of unrelated mods often found in larger kitchen sink packs.

This is still an early work in progress. The pack is actively being tested, adjusted, and improved as I continue working on balance, progression, and mod choices. It is not intended to be a perfect or fully polished experience yet it’s a project I’m sharing while it grows.

The main progression revolves around Thaumcraft 4, with additional mods chosen to expand and support the magical side of the game.

Some of the Thaumcraft additions include:

Thaumic Tinkerer
Thaumic Exploration
Thaumic Horizons
Forbidden Magic
Tainted Magic
Automagy
Gadomancy
Forgotten Relics
Magia Naturalis

Alongside these, the pack includes supporting mods that fit well with the overall experience, including:

BuildCraft
Botania
Et Futurum Requiem
Pam's HarvestCraft
Roguelike Dungeons
Mo' Creatures
Dragon Mounts

Performance & Quality of Life

Since Minecraft 1.7.10 can struggle with larger modpacks, I have included performance improvements and quality-of-life mods to help create a smoother experience while keeping the classic modded Minecraft feel.

Current Development

The pack is still being worked on, with future changes focused around:

Improving balance and progression
Adjusting mod interactions
Adding or removing mods where needed
Further performance improvements
Making Thaumcraft remain the centre of the experience

Feedback Welcome

Since this is a passion project, feedback is always appreciated.

If you try the pack, I’d love to hear your thoughts on:

Balance and progression
Mod choices
Performance
Anything that could improve the experience

Thanks for checking out Thaumcraft Optimized!
