About this Modpack
DISCLAIMER: THIS PACK IS STILL IN BETA, SO THERE ARE BUGS AND PERFORMANCE ISSUES
The Artisan Frontiers is a modpack I have spent the better part of a year on. I have had tons of input and put a lot of my own blood, sweat, and tears into this to make it as vanilla-friendly and fun as I can. It takes aspects from adventure, puzzles, combat, building, and even farming then it amplifies them by 10. There are over 10 new bosses, 2 new dimensions, plenty of new weapons and armors, and infinite ways to play. And the content will just keep on coming!
This modpack aims to include a plethora of RPG elements while not being extremely overwhelming or lackluster. With a seamless fit between all additions to create a one of a kind Minecraft experience for everyone (I know, such an original description you definitely haven't heard before) but that is where this pack aims to be different, with no linear path or quest line to do anything, you get to do what you want when you want to, no walls are hiding you from unlocking something, or certain key items trapped behind a boss.

AF features:
- An entire fishing, combat, building, and farming overhaul. To make all of these items fresh and more fun to use.
- Plenty of new and optional bosses to fight and level up your skills with
- Speaking of skills, an entire new skill tree, with other skill trees unlocked once you reach the end and choose a class
- Tons of new armor sets and outfits, which can be fused with your strongest armor to get, -as an example- the strength of Dragonsteel, with the design of a wandering wizard
- New biomes and structures with an entire village overhaul, making villagers seem more real and less like exploitable AI
- New visual overhaul with particles, fog, and sounds
- Overhauled nether and end, with an entirely new aether-like dimension (an eldritch dimension is also soon to be added)
- And an immersive world that grows and changes with you!
This modpack is made for exploring and going your own path. I hope you are able to forge your own and build the world you have always wanted to.
Not all those who wander are lost
