Create-centered modpack I made for playing with friends.
Consists mainly from Create Mod addons. Main ones being Aeronautics and Power Grid.
Modpacks goal is to integrate fun crafting methods from Create and realistic and detailed electricity system from Power Grid into Minecraft in pleasant way.
Modpack includes:
- Custom minecraft and modded recipes for better Create mod integration
- Recipe Viewer clean up (tag groups, hidden chiseled blocks etc.)
- Default mod configs
- Power Grid is the only source of electricity!

Worldgen is powered by Terralith and Tectonic.
Planned features:
- Quests!
- Custom main menu and panorama (with FancyMenu)
- Custom GUIs (for mod config menus and such) for less cluttered keybinds
