While the default settings are very unbalanced and honestly hurt a lot of things more than they help, the mod is SO customizable through configs and datapacks that you can basically make it anything you want.

By default:

-Sugarcane grows to world height, and cactus grow 5 blocks tall.

-New enchanting system, which is very great and I don’t need to make changes to ever.

-Spawners can be upgraded, and in the config you can change the item required to upgrade different stats, by default it’s pretty easy to make it ridiculous. You can also change the level of Silk Touch required to mine a spawner and keep it.

And the systems which I always have to change extensively, Affixes and gems

By default, gems spawn from enemies at a decently high rate, they spawn in structures and they can be created by the player using other gems. Gems aren’t very strong generally and are very chance based.

An affix is another way to refer to a stat, affix gear from my understanding just means “gear with a stat boost” For example, an iron sword with increased crit damage, or a shield with increased movement speed. Anyone want moon gravity pants?

Generally, these are weak on low tier equipment, which can be gained from random zombies, and in overworld chests.

High tier affix equipment can be gotten plentifully in the End, high tier affix gear is ridiculously powerful and needs to be purposely tweaked if not fully removed most of the time. If you don’t care about balance, then you shouldn’t worry about this part, go explore the end!

You can “salvage” the gear and gain “affix materials” which allow you to apply affixes to any gear, not just vanilla! You too can finally have your cotton candy affix sword! If you don’t have any mods that add gear, that’s okay, you can use it to reroll your affixes instead! It’s basically an enchanting table that works on previously affixed gear.

As I said before, you can change (almost) everything in the mod! Don’t like the enchanting? Goodbye enchanting! Only want the sugarcane to grow a little? Sure! Perhaps you wish an affix to deal 100 thousand damage? I don’t see why you would, but you can!

I generally remove ALL natural ways to get affix gear, and allow you to gain the crafting materials yourself through a complex crafting tree using the KubeJS mod. This is generally beyond a normal player, I suggest disabling boss spawns so that the equipment is rarer.

Extremely fun and adds great content to the game. Enchanting setups are fun to progress through and the affixes are just amazing

This mod is an older mod that has always been cool, but has had various issues, mainly balancing. But the dev has been active and continues to make serious improvements, it’s a staple mod for any adventure pack imo.

Like, yes please give me my eff X pickaxe thanks, i also need a ridiculously fast spawner thank you very much, who doesn’t want to run 200% faster or have cool attribute on his stuff ?

Apotheosis is in my opinion one of the best mods out right now. Not everyone will be into Apotheosis because, like ProjectE and other mods, I find it absolutely breaks balance in an otherwise steady modpack.

Apotheosis’s most prominent features are an expansion to enchanting and a new tool upgrading system that relies on socketing gems for increased modifiers. Hence the name, the sky is the limit to how powerful one can become when harnessing all of the mod’s features. Want to one-shot a beefy mob with a stone axe that does 19 damage unenchanted with your armor that combined gives you a 275% speed boost and lights any attacker on fire while teleporting them miles away? How about marveling at a Sharpness 25, Unbreaking 18, and Looting 12 sword from the heavens? With Apotheosis, you can’t literally become a god, but you can get pretty damn close. All of its features mesh well with each other and are well thought out, the textures are beautiful and the new structures breathe life into the otherwise dull caves and dungeons that sprinkle the underground. While not suitable for *any* modpack, it is definitely a fun inclusion if you want to feel the world beckon beneath you.
