lots of good mods (both well known and lesser known) and quests are nice, but very prone to poor performance and stuttering. exploration is nice and pretty well balanced in terms of items and such

This is a kitchen sink modpack with some changes to progression so that you don’t get overwhelmed with the amount of mods you can mess with in the early game. Overall is pretty fun and there is something for everybody here but because of the nature of kitchen sink modpacks it makes it so that at times it feels disjointed and some of the changes to mods may raise eyebrows

I do love some adventure packs, exploring dungeons and castles and dragon nests, the nether dungeons, the end cities, it is personally enjoyable to explore and see new things. The magic set in the pack is friendly to new users of magic and simplistic, if you’re not getting into thaumcraft, of course. Thaumcraft best mod, fite me. It’s well curated and developed actively by its community and even has a few fun forks.

Performance wise it can be a little struggle on a server, especially with many people on it, but with just a few, its very good enough. I can attribute that to it being the MC version 1.12 being a little derpy, especially with outdated java.

Aesthetics are top tier, with some offputting things sometimes which brings it to 4. The feel of adventure will never really be topped, especially with the inclusion of the swamp dimension mod. Don’t wanna spoil it.

Gameplay is as gameplay is. Magic, tech, exploration, misc, things, it’s got it. It doesn’t bind mods together too often but it is fun to play around in the heightened danger of the mobs, dungeons and bosses. They are jacked, and you better be too or it’s not gonna be hardcore friendly. Heh.

4.5/5, can’t wait for MCE2.
