Astral Pines
I started making this modpack just for a few friends, but I ended up putting in a lot more effort than I planned.

About this Modpack

Hello! This is Astral Pines
Edit: Guys, I did not give up on the modpack, the next version is just taking a little too long to be finished...
A modpack I originally started making to play with some friends, but I ended up getting really into it and refining it even more...
It features a bunch of really awesome mods!!! Like Create and several of its addons, so you can build all kinds of crazy factories for anything you can imagine.
There's also Iron’s Spells and Spellbooks and T.O. Tweaks , letting you cast spells like crazy and feel like one of those mages straight out of a Souls-like game!!!
On top of that, I’ve added a bunch of structure and terrain generation mods, which make exploration super exciting and help balance the overall experience. You’ll grab some amazing loot from structures and feel totally overpowered, until you meet your first unique creature and get wiped out in 10 seconds haha.
And there are tons of epic bosses too, thanks to Mowzie’s Mobs , Alex Mobs and Ender’s Cataclysm.
I'm also planning to add a custom mod made specifically for Astral Pines when the official release comes! I feel like my goal for this project can’t quite be reached using only pre-existing mods... (though I absolutely love all the mods already included, I just think my vision goes a little beyond what's currently available.)
Important: The modpack is still a work in progress... So I’ll be frequently changing things, tweaking configs, adding or removing mods , all to make sure Astral Pines delivers the best experience possible.
Any feedback is super appreciated too :)) I truly believe player support is key to the growth of the project, even if it’s something more casual. I’m counting on you guys!!
