Small-ish modpack of 'essentials' including core mods, and mainly tech mods, intended to be expanded upon and updated whenever necessary, so better for small servers with close friends.

The pack is mainly about crafting / building / tech, but also features some exploration mods for variation and of course plenty of fun, miscellaneous mods.

Almost the full package, including important config changes such as single versions of an ore spawning, certain features turned off for my private server etc.
