Description
A small modpack containing a collection of mods that I felt greatly enhance the vanilla experience without going too deep into tech and over the top magics!
Do not manually update to the latest abnormals-core due to an incompatibility with the Create mod! I will release a modpack update when Create has closed the relevant issue.
As the modpack appears to have attracted some users, I feel like I should clarify how the versioning can be expected to work.
Versioning for this modpack follows the semver standard. This means that all versions will be in the format MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH (such as 1.0.0, 1.1.0, 1.1.1 and so on).
PATCH versions can be expected to contain config updates and mod updates as long as those mod updates are only bug fixes and such.
MINOR versions can be expected to contain new mods that add no world generation or mod updates that add new features but nothing that affects the world generation.
MAJOR versions can be expected to include breaking changes. World Generation, mods being swapped out for alternatives (due to things such as performance reasons, abandoned mods etc) and so on.
There will never be a MAJOR version without a heads-up of what's coming days in advance and all changes for patch, minor and major versions will always be outlined in the patch changelog.
