This kitchensink modpack is dedicated towards the Bavarian Erlangen SMP, a group of real-life friends that do not have the greatest computers. The primary focus of this modpack was performance and versatility in the gameplay experience.
Having a reduced number of mods prevents one from being overwhelmed by too many mods, allowing for a nicer gameplay experience.
This pack features mods like
The Aether: To suit one's exploration taste
The Twilight Forest: A new mod to our group that no one has experienced in the SMP, allowing for entertaining gameplay.
Tech Reborn: Appeasing the more techy members of the SMP without being too unbalanced.
Farmer's Delight: This is to open up food opportunities and make food less boring, so to speak, rather than only using one food item for everything.
The majority of YUNG's mods, to allow for more interesting exploration opportunities.
Furthermore, there are mods like Oculus, allowing for good performance improvements, and a generally less-heavy world generation overall.
Corpse and LootR are also good mods for teamwork, as Corpse prevents others from stealing items on accident, while LootR allows for everyone to benefit from adventure, making adventure a positive-sum game.
However, there will eventually be government and town-related mods, as our friend group enjoys organizing themselves into a government system and hierarchy, allowing for some interesting gameplay. (I wonder how the villager dynamics will be?)
There is also a large emphasis on qualtiy of life in this modpack, with mods like Waystones, Building Gadgets, Trash Cans, Carry On, FTB Ultimine, and other mods to allow for a smoother gameplay experience with far less tedium.
