I am a game dev student, and this is my modpack for testing game design! It turned out way better than I expected, so I decided to share it here!
I have carefully selected 300+ mods to build and improve upon what I consider to be
Minecraft's Core:
1. Exploration
2. Adventure
3. Creativity
5. Mystery
NOTE: Joining your friend's world through Essential works great without issues or lag! :D
So please share this pack with people who might like it. I would be grateful🙏

Gameplay Twist
When you die, you lose lives. To gain more, you have to eat new foods. This way, you have to discover new foods, leading you to the corners of your world.
Our Goal
With these mods, I wanted to achieve a more varied terrain, flora, and fauna,
while adding a few fun additions on the side.
Giving you countless more ways to personalise and decorate your environment and home.
Seeking to create a Minecraft for those with curious minds.
I made this modpack to create a world greater than ourselves, where I could witness it living its own life, leading to moments seen in the images above. I wanted a game world of variety, immersion, and possibilities, and I truly believe I succeeded.
