  W
hen you live among the wilds you know what you truly want -  a pack focusing on mods which bring order from the brambles and disorder.  A pack teeming with lots of quality of life enhancing features! 

  Tame the world and make it your own with mods focusing mainly on tech, nature/farming, and game utilities.  Did we mention bees mods?  How about champion mobs to fight for extra spice, a custom mining dimension - "The Underworld", and toolbelts?  Did we mention also Minecolonies allowing your own personal town/city?

This pack will continue to add newly developed 1.16.5 mods which contribute to a hang-out world environment.  I.e. open world sandbox style minecraft!  Start off with humble beginnings and shape the wild world as you see fit.

Current and future mods to be added are mindful of keeping easy world/server loading.  Occasionally new things will be tried in the pack - if it bogs down the game it goes!  If it's fun and loading is kept low it stays!
