About this Modpack
The official modpack for the Peninsula MC private modded SMP server.
This modpack features a few tech mods, various mods and scripts to expand the early, mid, and late game, and many QOL mods.
The early game will have you scrounging for clay and flint to begin even the most basic of crafting recipes, requiring you to make use of some of Minecraft's underused resources. Your wooden tools will be much more useful, as Iron and even stone tools require more effort to obtain. The night cannot be skipped, meaning you WILL have to fortify
In the mid game, you will be experimenting with multiple tech mods, including Thermal Expansion, Mekanism, and Create, as well pursuing many creative endeavors involving photography and painting.
In the late game, you be looking to the stars...
PSA for new players — You will need flint, clay, and a campfire.
To join the Peninsula MC SMP, you have to be whitelisted. Contact me with your MC username if you want to join :)

Can I add custom mods to PeninsulaCraft without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (forge) and same Minecraft version (1.20.1). Common issues: ID conflicts with recipe mods and incompatible coremod versions. The Mado dashboard mod browser only shows compatible mods and warns about known conflicts.
