About this Modpack
Essential mods are all you need to improve your gameplay in CivMC!
The Essential CivMC Pack aims to provide improved quality of life, better gameplay, and performance improvements, all preconfigured to maximize your experiences in CivMC server and based on my personal need. Do you want to write a book with tools? Want to have a map where you don't get lost in a big world? Want to utilize scripts using JS Macro? Or do you want to use mods but don't bother configuring all of this? This modpack got you covered!
They are all preconfigured to be in compliance with the CivMC's server rules, so you can start using the modpack right away without worrying about doing it yourself. If you're not a fan of the current configuration, feel free to modify it to your liking, but be mindful of the server rules.
I developed this modpack to suit my needs and preferences for my gameplay experience in CivMC, now everyone can use my modpack. Please reach out to me on Discord @capcolton for suggestions or issues with this modpack.
