With this update (65 mods total), and countless hours of browsing through mods, I believe this modpack is mostly complete. I think what I have right now though is a pretty in-depth modpack with tons of variety, while still being pretty light overall in terms of mods. I may remove a few mods in the future if I feel like there is too much overlap between mods, lag, etc., but I'm pretty happy with what I have as of now. It was a bit choppy on 5GB of RAM, but ran smoothly with 5.5GB of RAM when I created a new world; however, with a bunch of strong mobs running around (and fighting each other), it became choppy again. I'd recommend ~6GB of RAM with this current mod list. I'm going to stick with this for now, but I want this modpack to be able to run smoothly, even on computers that aren't as beefy, so there may be another update where I remove some mods and/or add AI/combat improvement mods to reduce the overall stress.
