Victus is a magic/victorian era/frontier themed modpack with an official server with a friendly non-toxic community, and active support. It has lots of magic, and tech, and we spend a lot of time making sure the server is lag free. Come try it out for yourself!

When you first start out you'll be a simple homestead selling crops to make ends meet, and as you progress you can build you base into whatever you want. You could make a cute little ranch, and raise animals the right way, create an exploitative, and destructive factory, or anything in between. Along the way you can also explore the various magics, and dungeons in the world, or meet some of the locals, and create a family. Child labor sounds fun right?
