About this Modpack
About:
Aeolitus is a Fabric based modpack that works towards giving the best expertise without adding new items or changing vanilla too much with full opimization. This was originally to a simple modpack for a friend and quickly led to a full publication. This modpack has been DISCONTINUED. If you wish to contact me, go to my profile :P
The Quality of Life Update!
I'm excited to bring you a host of fantastic Quality of Life mods to Aeolitus! This update introduces a range of new mods. Highlights include Better Mending, which allows you to use xp from your XP bar to fix your tools, Connected Glass, and Enchant Icons to help you easily identify enchanted items.
In addition, I've also added more snow mods to make Tundra and Snow biomes more realistic. This update comes with a new Icon as well (Still working on a permanent icon)!
Also, I've been working on a port to 1.21.4 and forge however a lot of the mods are yet to be supported, Forge will most likely be more different than the current modpack. However, 1.21.4 will be going to beta!
The next update will hopefully be community focused so make sure to check up from time to time! Thanks to listening to this update and hope you see you again soon! :D
