About this Modpack
This modpack, created over the course of the past 1-2 years, was meant to give Minecraft a fresh feel with a few Handpicked mods that not everyone might know. Making minecraft more beatiful and getting new and interesting features also were some of my main goals. And in my Opinion, I definetly succeded. With mods like Distant Horizons in combination with terralith, You get vast worlds to explore. or you just want to relax at the next beach and do Some fishing? "Tide" has that covered. Or take to the skies with the simple yet immersive Aircraft that "immersive Aircraft" adds to the game. Enjoy a medieval-style world, that promises to entertain you for hours, be it in Singleplayer or in multiplayer.
Have fun playing this modpack,
