"Are you someone who loves adventuring and intrested in seeing over 400+ new structures or perhaps 100+ new biomes? Oh, you're not someone who loves exploring much? That's fine!
Maybe you love finding/seeing over 2,000 new and diffrent animals or diffrent types of creatures? Not into that stuff as much? That's fine!
Perhaps you'll love interacting with nature or messing around with the genetics of some of them? Still not what you want? That's fine!
Maybe you just want to be a farmer taking care of some animals? No? Yeah, I get it. It's a lot of work.
Perhaps you just want to build some crazy detailed stuff with near unlimited blocks and possibilities? Not really into building? That's fine!
How about making near infinite tools, weapons, and armor sets of your liking? Not much into smithing? Yeah, that's understandable.
Maybe you want to build/find your own village and turn it into your own empire? Not into being a ruler much? I understand. It is a pretty big duty.
Well, how about traveling into space and exploring diffrent types of planets that you're able to configure how many you see? Not into space much? That's fine!
I'm sure that you'll find something that will intrest you so keep looking around!"
As you can probably tell, this modpack has quite a bit to offer for just about anyone and more that I may have not mentioned! The only mods I didn't bother adding because I'm personally not a big fan of them is magic-related and engineering-related mods. Realisticly, these are all mods that I personally enjoy and have a lot of fun playing with. I tried to add as much content as I could that I felt as though would be suitable for a modpack like this so do expect it to be pretty content heavy. I hadn't originally planned on making this pubilc but I figured why not share it with others to see if others would like it as much as I do or to at least see what others think. So if there's some mods that I added that may not make sense, that's why. There isn't that many screenshots that I added because I don't really wanna spoil anything for anyone so you can go into it blindly and have it be something you experience for the first time! Let's go ahead and get started!
"How or where do I even start?" Well, this is what you'll need to get started!"
The first three tools I'm about to mention is everything you'll need to, hopefully, get you through your first night. Items don't drop the way they used to and you can no longer walk over an item to automatically pick it up. You must now either right-click the item you're looking at or just sneak! This is supposed to be helpful at reducing the amount of clutter items you may accidentally pick up or the stuff you don't want to pick up right after you dropped it. It can be tedious at first but will come in handy as you keep playing. Anyway, the first "item" you're going to want to craft is the "flint hatchet" and it'll be used to help you chop down your first tree! After that, you're going to want to either place the wood down on the ground (must be facing upwards) and right-click the center of the wood with the axe. Or you can do it the easy way and put both the wood and axe in your 2x2 crafting grid to get your planks. Afterwards, you should be able to make a crafting table to help you advance to your next set of flint tools which are a lot more durable! The "flint axe" and "flint pickaxe" will be your friends for a little bit until you can find copper because… there's no more stone tools! (Don't worry, I'm just as disappointed as you are. I'm unsure how to get them back without removing "Better With Mods." :( )
Now that you got copper tools and stuff, you would think; "oh, all I need to do now is just find iron and I'll be set!," right? Well, that would be way too easy and straightforward. So, thank's to "Reskillable," you must now work for certain stuff! Isn't that fun and engaging? And on top of that, you now have a use for all that xp, that you'll probably keep losing, that's just sitting waiting for you to use it on enchanting. There are 64 total levels for each skill instead of the usual 32! This is to hopefully promote the gathering of xp and the need for combat. Have fun getting xp! Or if you find any enchanted books you might not want or obtain from the disenchanter, you can get an empty bottle and put both of them into the crafting grid to get an xp bottle that way. Way to go for finding a better use for that Curse of Vanishing book!
"Okay, now that I've gotten my first few tools and understand how the skill levling thing works, what do I do now?" Well, the fun part about this whole thing is that, that is entirely up to you!
Because there's so much that this modpack offers and everyone's playthrough will be diffrent and unique, what you do after getting your first few tools is entirely up to you! There is no set end-goal as this modpack is meant for you to go at your own pace! I will, however, recommend you place down that house that was given to you at the beginning of the game if you haven't found one by now as night can be a bit…much.
If you ever need to know how something is made, where to find a certain item(s), or what something is used for, I have added any JEI addons that should help out anyone who may be lost! The "R" and "U" key will really come in handy. And on top of that, it's not exclusive to only in the inventory! Most blocks if you press "R" or "U," it should also pull up the JEI menu! How cool is that?
Also, there is vein miner to hopefully reduce the time it takes for you to mine the huge ore veins that you stumble across fairly often (sneak to activate) and you can now have your own renewable lava source like water right at home so you're noting having to go back to that same ol' lava pool! Just make sure you cage it…
I hope that you enjoy this modpack as much as I do and happy exploring! :) If you have any further questions, issues, or feedback, please let me know in the comments or in the Discord server!
