Travel and Create Again

This is a kitchen sink magic-focused exploration modpack with Ice and Fire. Here there be dragons. You have been warned.

This is also a hefty pack, 500+ mods. 12 GB of RAM should be considered a minimum. You have also been warned.

This is a continuation of my modpack Travel and Create on CurseForge: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/travel-and-create

The original Travel and Create was a rich, structure-filled world with highly crafted quests. This modpack carries most of that pack's mods forward, adding Ice and Fire and a lot of magic mods.

I have not created the bingo quests for this pack, but I may if people ask for it. There are so many mods in this pack with their own advancements that it didn't seem necessary. I did include Completionist's Index, which provides a 'get all the things' challenge.

I have not created lootbags for this pack. I think skipping them pushes for more exploration, which is good in this pack.
