Bookstore SMP

This is a modpack that was used for the Bookstore SMP survival server! This can be downloaded separately and played on your own, but the pack's main purpose is to serve as the base for the "Mostly Vanilla", or "Chocolate" survival server!

There have been some tweaks and such to balance out some of the features in the modpack that help it keep within the "vanilla" feeling. All mods were hand picked with the player's experience in mind! Speaking of, 5 "end game recipes" have been added in the form of craftable player heads of the moderation team in Belle's Bookstore. These do not have a purpose other than looking nice and giving lost players a goal to work towards as the main focus/theme of the pack is community building and interaction through the various mods found in the pack. A lot of the mods were added with the average player in mind, so that anyone can create impressive looking builds and contraptions without knowing every single aspect of the base game.

I have been sitting on this update for a while now, so I figured I best release it as it does better out there then stuck on a workbench. Hope you enjoy!

(Forgive me for any inconsistencies in the changelog, this has been worked on/off for the past 4 months at least)

ALSO!
Happy One Year Anniversary!! The original pack was released on April 19th, 2021, and the last update was on May 15th, 2021, so a big thanks to those that have downloaded it and played it!

Changelog (oh boy)

• Updated the Mod heads to better represent different aspects of the pack
• Player head is now craftable and used as a base
• Waystone recipe now makes a bit more sense "in universe" as to how it is made
• Recipe is not difficult, but isn't a cakewalk as it negates other forms of transport
• Updated Tinker's Mechworks with Create mod items/blocks

• Updated the main menu with some neat features

I consider this pack in a mostly finished state. I hope you guys enjoy it, and hopefully, there will be another modpack sometime in the future with my name on it as the author. As always, I don't own any of these mods, all rights to the mods belong to their creators.
