About this Modpack

The Spirit of The Game
Planes, Trains, and Cobblemon is a modpack that, in it's core, focuses on premoting the survival-based exploration and building loop.
Cobblemon, Integrated Dungeons and Structures, and Ice and Fire premote exploration rather than mining to obtain better gear and items.
In addition, the modpack has mekanism, create, and Immersive engineering to premote automation so that there is very little grinding that must be done in the game.
The modpack includes Epic Fight and Paragliders which enhance the traversal and combat experience while exploring.
Valkyrian Skies
Expand the limits of what's possible using Valkyrian Skies and Create to build your own machines, tanks, ships, planes, and anything your mind can dream of.
Graphics or Performance? You choose!
The modpack is distributed in 2 versions; the base version and the lightweight version. The base version is tuned for beautiful graphics with distant horizons and oculus. The lightweight version (version numbers denoted with an "L" after the version number) is tuned for performance, so that even lower-end computers can still experience the modpack!
If you are lagging check the distant horizons settings in options -> top-left window icon, change cpu load and quality preset to minimum
Both versions are compatible to play together in multiplayer.
Build All the mega-structures
The modpack works great for building all those massive structures you've never had time to gather resources for in vanilla. The world generation features many different biomes with Oh the Biomes we've gone and Biomes of Plenty, and beautiful sweeping terrain generation with the Tectonic mod.
Minecraft is most fun together
This modpack is no exception. We include revive to revive your friends in combat, and open-pac mods for land claims, parties, and guilds to enhance the multiplayer experience.
VR Ready
The modpack includes vivecraft, and vivecraft compat which allows you to experience your creations in VR! Fully compatible with multiplayer, and optional on clients.
Notes
I recommend around 11GB of ram for the regular version and 8Gb for the Minimal verison
The modpack may crash the first time starting up or loading a world, just try it a couple times
