The Welsh Boys
Modpack I made for me and my friends in 2022, now released on Modrinth. Contains nothing welsh.
About this Modpack
I originally made this modpack for me and my friends in 2022, and released it on Curseforge. However, several issues with my PC means I cannot keep it updated if it remains on Curseforge, so here it is on Modrinth!
The modpack contains a few industry mods, a few magic mods, a lot of quality of life and exporation mods too. It is intended to be a free-form heavily modded experience that is not too complicated for new players to understand. It can also be enjoyed in singleplayer or multiplayer, though the experiences do not differ too much in terms of actual play style. A full list of every mod can be found in the changelogs of each version.

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.
