XXL PANTS
The Full Fat Pack
This isn't really trying to be fancy, it's not meant to be. I wanted to play with mods I like, without mods I didn't like, and that's really about it. I desired a return to the nonsensically mod-heavy behemoths I'd learned Minecraft in on 1.6 and 1.7, but with the mods of today, and looking forward. So this is what that is, unapologetically. 350+ mods, minimal config and recipe changes except to get them working smoothly together, and damn near everything you might need to build whatever the hell you want. Because that's the goal of this pack, really. The only balancing I've done is to make things more convenient.
Very important note: be aware of that number there; over 350 mods. This pack is huge, and it's heavy. Under no circumstances should anyone attempt to play this pack with less than 16gb of RAM in their computer.
About the pack itself:
Worldgen uses Traverse, YUNG's Better Caves, Streams and Better Nether with Animania for a pretty different look to the world than many may be used to, it's incredible.
It's.. a kitchen sink pack, it's got most of the mods you can probably think of, probably many more you aren't even aware of. Notably not included, I suppose: Draconic Evolution, IC2/Tech Reborn, Buildcraft, Forestry, ProjectE, ProjectRed, Embers, dimension adventure mods (as this is kinda designed with playing on a multiplayer server in mind). I chose LittleTiles over Chisel&Bits, OpenComputers over ComputerCraft, Advanced Rocketry over Galacticraft, Applied Energistics 2 over Refined Storage, Deep Mob Learning over Woot. I had to make some choices about what not to include.
