# Thoughts on the modpack and what mods fit that vision
|
|
|
|
## Core gameplay direction
|
|
|
|
- Slow but approachable
|
|
- Building-focused
|
|
- Exploration-driven
|
|
- Large biomes and dramatic cliffs
|
|
- Tech progression is optional
|
|
- A no-tech path remains viable
|
|
- Magic should feel distinct from Ars
|
|
|
|
## Terrain goals
|
|
|
|
- Large cliffs and vast biomes
|
|
- One slightly elevated island keeps the player base close together
|
|
- Large rivers and open travel routes
|
|
|
|
## Tech direction
|
|
|
|
- Keep the tech side simple and flexible
|
|
- RF-based systems are a good baseline
|
|
- Mekanism generators
|
|
- Simplified TFMG
|
|
- Diesel generators phased out
|
|
- Keep CC: Tweaked
|
|
- Keep Create
|
|
|
|
## Magic direction
|
|
|
|
- Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks
|
|
- Easy world-shaping magic tools
|
|
- A magic loop that complements exploration instead of taking over
|
|
|
|
## Exploration goals
|
|
|
|
- Vibrant journeys with other mods in the world
|
|
- Village overhaul
|
|
- Bunkers for gun acquisition, while military guns stay uncraftable
|
|
- Many new bosses and major encounters
|
|
- A plane/travel mod like Man of Many Planes
|
|
- Nether stays dangerous and active, with Hellish Trials added
|
|
- End remains barren and simple at first, but hides complex structures deeper in
|
|
|

|
## Key notes
|
|
|
|
Keep gameplay simple while still offering something for everyone:
|
|
|
|
- Farming
|
|
- Bosses
|
|
- Tech
|
|
- Building
|
|
- Exploration
|
|
- Wizardry
|
|
|
|
Balance is important: ammo and guns should be difficult to craft and find, while more relaxed systems like farming and survival play should be highly rewarding.

# Mods that make this possible
|
|
|
|
## Gameplay
|
|
|
|
- Serene Seasons and a greenhouse-style mod
|
|
- Enhanced AI
|
|
- Dungeon and structure mods such as L'Ender's Cataclysm, End's Phantasm, Man of Many Planes, Hellish Trials, and other small structural additions
|
|
- Nether: Atmospheric Nether
|
|
- End: End's Phantasm + Nullscape
|
|
- Overworld: Lithosphere + C2ME, with notick disabled and Lithosphere cliffs adjusted to be steeper
|
|
- A small tech lineup: Mekanism, TFMG, CC: Tweaked, Create
|
|
- Keep these mods optional rather than forcing them onto everyone
|
|
- Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks + Cataclysm spellbooks + GTBC's addons
|
|
|

|
## Final note
|
|
|
|
Many magic mods also expand exploration and progression, which makes magic more central than it first seemed. That is fine; it strengthens the pack's identity and fits the overall direction well.
|
|
|
|
I will keep building on this as I refine the balance between magic, tech, and exploration.

## Personal notes
|
|
|

end city overhaul will be annoying because nobody mods this for neoforge for some reason atleast not on modrinth
|
|
"choosing" to keep end city structure base game :(
|
|

|
|
|
|

|

|
|
|
burning arena
|
|
ancient factory
|
|
soul black smith
|
|

|
|
|
|
uhhhhhhhh guns spawn now but pretty shitty
|
|
ammo spawn more ammount
|
|
guns more frequently
|
|
|
|
make ammo boxes able to be found
|
|
somehow make ammo only spawn with the right gun meaning roll for gun and ammo at the same time
|
|
make bayonets roll with compatible weapons as extra roll so no 100% guarantee with the right gun
|
|
thinking about how addon thingies spawn |
