Legacy description
This is not a modpack. This is the modpack!
This Quilt modpack expands your survival and creative opportunities, as well as challenges.
Note: Development paused, as my PC simply can't handle Minecraft anymore. You may fork this, WITH permission from me.
For a lighter, maintained version, see: Lite Experiences+.
Features:
Optimization
This pack includes top-quality performance mods, such as Sodium, Lithium, Iris, etc. This part of mods was heavily based on and inspired by the open-source Fabulously Optimized.
Progression
LevelZ, most notably is included. You have to gather experience for more hearts, better speed, and even the ability to mine or use bows!
{EarlyStage coming soon}
Dimensions
Explore new planets with Ad Astra or a devilishly difficult dimension with Deeper and Darker!
Overhauled Nether and End!
Overhauled Experience
Better Nether and Better End enhance the Nether and End, respectively.
Yung's mods overhaul various aspects of overworld generation too!
Technology
MI, AE2, and other technology mods allow you to automate your material gathering, and allow expansion in a wholly different direction.
{Create mod coming soon, I'm trying to get it to work.}
QOL
Many Quality of Life mods are here to make things easier for you (balanced by mods that make life difficult).
For instance, Xaero's Minimap
Survival
Fight against hot or cold weather, dehydration, thin, unbreathable air, or a blood moon!
Or how about camouflaging creepers!?!
Check out the full list, as this description can't cover everything!

This pack was tested, and screenshots captured, using lower end CPU and integrated graphics.
