About this Modpack

This is my biggest project yet, i hope you like it!

a healthy mix of tech and magic mods, including Create, Ars Nouveau, Mekanism, Ice and Fire, and Valkyrien Skies, combined with an assortment of dungeons, dangerous structures, and creepy creatures to test your skills against.
this modpack includes expansions on undead and arthropod mobs, as well as adding several warring factions that the player can side with.

Arachnophobia Warning
if the spider-like mobs are too upsetting you can remove them by disabling 'Arthropod Phobia Expansions'

if the world generation seems too crowded or sparse for your liking, try messing with the config for Sparse Structures.

Spoiler
