About this Modpack
This is a vanilla+ Fabric modpack with a main focus on exploration, adventure and building.
This modpack is meant to provide a chill and comfy experience. No crazy progression or quests or the like. Just exploration, adventure, and building. It includes almost all the currently available performance enhancing mods, as well as a lot of QoL mods.
- In terms of actual content we've included Create as well as a broad selection of its addons.
- If you're more interested in magic and witchcraft you might want to check out Bewitchment.
- If you like to explore you'll find some stunning world generation thanks to Tectonic, as well as a small selection of beautiful new biomes introduced by Traverse and Nature's Spirit, as well as some spoopy forests provided by Nyctophobia.
- The Nether has also been revamped using Cinderscape.
- The End gets a fresh coat of paint thanks to BetterEnd, and the End Dragon fight might not be as easy as you remember either.
- In addition to new biomes and terrain generation you will also find a bunch of new structures to explore and loot across all dimensions.
- For the builders among you we've included a fairly big selection of furniture and decoration mods such as Adorn, Another Furniture, Paladin's Furniture Mod and many others.
To get the best visual experience you will want to play at a reasonably high view distance. Personally I suggest at least 20 chunks or higher if your PC can handle it.
This modpack is still in early development so there will probably be frequent changes and updates in the beginning.

Can I add custom mods to Serene Pioneers without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) 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.
