Explore and Construct

Explore and Construct!

This is the second modpack that I have created to play with my brother! After spending hours and hours on KubeJS scripts and custom item textures it seemed a waste not to share it with anyone who wants to give it a try!

This pack focuses on making exploration compatible with the creation of manufacturing facilities. Using Create as the main mod driving crafting paired with Tinkers' Construct custom KubeJS scrips are used to integrate the various mods together blending the lines between each mod into a smooth progression through the technology tree. Ultimately, the goal is not to create thousands of resources that you couldn't possibly use, the goal of this pack is to encourage exploring the gorgeous 1.8.1 terrain (enhanced with  Oh The Biomes You'll Go, and Terralith 2.0 among others), and build a magnificent factory to facilitate that exploration.

This pack also includes a complete retexture of Pretty Pipes to better match Create and the crafting recipes used to craft the items as well as minor texture tweaks to Mob Grinding Utils, Little Logistics, and others to better fit the pack.

Shaders, dynamic lighting, etc. ready out of the box! Not Optifine compatible without removing several performance mods but you likely won't miss it! I recommend BSL Shaders (not included).
