Features & how they change your experience:
- NPC-driven hub: Using Easy NPC, the pack adds fully custom NPCs with dialogue and trading — build a central town where players get quests, buy gear, or just get greeted by name. This gives the server a "curated" feel instead of an empty spawn.
- Social & roleplay tools: Emotecraft (emotes), Chat Heads (see who's talking), Faz's Roleplay Clothes, Piggyback (carry your friends), and Trotting Wagons/Riding Partners turn multiplayer sessions into something more lived-in than plain survival.
- Fast travel without breaking progression: Waystones lets players link home bases to the hub, cutting down on tedious travel while keeping exploration meaningful.
- Better storage & loot: Sophisticated Backpacks and Lootr rework inventory management and loot tables so backpacks are upgradeable and dungeon loot feels less repetitive.
- Quality-of-life essentials: JEI for recipe lookups, AppleSkin for hunger tracking, FallingTree for faster lumberjacking, and a stack of performance mods (FerriteCore, ModernFix) so the modpack stays smooth even with ~50 mods loaded.
- Server-side permissions: LuckPerms lets server owners hand out staff/DM powers selectively instead of full-op, useful for anyone running a "Dungeon Master" style server like this one.
