BCP SMP

This modpack has a wide variety of mods, but the main purpose is to be a sort of introduction to Minecraft modding. This is a collection of some of the first mods mods that a few people, including myself, have had any experience with. 

BCP SMP also has the secondary intention of letting players select a sort of specialty to focus on throughout their playthrough, The three main mods in the pack are the Create Mod, Tinker's Construct, and Ars Nouveau. Depending on how the player wants to do it, they can either focus on one of these mods, or do little bit of everything.

(We are trying to find a separate mod that lets you choose a specific mod to use but we haven't had much luck)

Other than these 3 main mods, the rest of the mods are mostly focused on slight improvements to Minecraft, such as Yung's Collection of better structures, and Farmer's Delight, as well as a few performance mods like Sodium.

This modpack is good for people who want to get into playing with Minecraft mods, but don't have a good idea where to start. There are not too many mods that a new player gets overwhelmed, but enough mods that they won't get bored.
