This modpack has been carefully designed to create a cohesive Minecraft experience that isn't crammed with junk. I have tried to stay true to the game's core which means tech mods such as Create and Mekanism have not been added. The mods in this pack have been designed to compliment the 5 pillars of the game that is Minecraft. This pillars include exploration, progression, combat, building and farming.

I wanted the world to feel more expansive and wild. As is, the Minecraft world is great, if at times boring. There is no depth to it, everything looks like a pattern. No longer. With the help of CliffTree and Tectonic, world gen is completly overhauled. Abundant atmosphere adds the much needed depth of plant life. Wilder Nature adds some new animal life that livens the often drab forests. The cherry on top is all the new sturctures to make the world feel lived in. This is especially true when you come across the bones of adventurers before you. Oh and this isn't even mentioning the other 2 dimensions.

Progression is a static easy path. Wood, stone, iron, diamond, netherite. That's it. Experienced players can beat the entire progression path in less than an hour without really having any fun with it. No longer. Additional Additions adds rose gold between iron and diamond. New advancements let you have more fun with it. Oreganized adds new ores with their own niches. Bosses' rise adds new tools and magic that change the way you play. Enderscape adds Nullnite, an ore used to create tools as strong as iron but with ender energy. Finding all the new tools feels fun again.

This modpack is supposed to represent an enhanced Minecraft experience. It will enhance exploration and combat, building and progression, even farming! Keep your eyes peeled for updates! It adds mods like Geophilic and Explorify to spruce up your world. Enderscape for a vanilla-friendly end update. Additional Additions to change progression. Better Combat and Extra Bows for combat enhancements. Fishing Frontier (Soon to be replaced) and Farm & Charm for food variation. And so much more!

NOTE: In this early development stage, many mods are subject to change and while I try to keep a good changelog, things fall through the cracks. MAKE BACKUPS!

Roadmap

I will create a complete roadmap eventually, but until then I will have a small and incomplete one. This will have the mods I still need to add and research.

- Find and implement an enchantment/magic mod
- Configure structure mods
- Peer review
- Implement changes
- Finalize and polish version 2.0
