Incredibly well made, if slightly buggy

Curseforge is full of a lot of "modlists", modpacks that don't do much more than providing a bunch of unintegrated mods in a package together - anybody could make one of those packs.

Integrated MC is not one of them

This pack has loads of hours of development by dedicated developers, and fulfils its aims of being an integrated modpack; a massive amount of recipes have been overhauled, everything fits together really nicely, and (nearly) every single structure in the pack has been integrated with modded blocks.

The developers actually listen to and work with community suggestions and ideas, and the community itself is really helpful too.

Gameplay is really fun, often involving dungeon raiding, adventuring, building, or experimenting with the different mods the pack has to offer.

Quests are really well made too, and guide the player through some of the changes made in the pack and the base mods, and also providing helpful charts of bosses available to fight and equipment progression trees.

I probably wouldn't recommend this pack for those who are big fans of automation packs, while IMC does offer Create and other mods for automating, it's not really geared toward that playstyle. It's definitely still fun to tinker around with automation in the pack though!

When I initially played this pack performance wasn't so great, but it's vastly improved and I now get generally 60-70 FPS even when hosting LAN worlds (did I mention the pack has e4mc so you can do WAN multiplayer now?).

Currently, there are a few supposed item duping/voiding bugs mainly relating to Inventorio and Tom's Simple Storage, but the devs are pretty onto it about patching issues, so these will probably be gone in the near future.

The modlist does contain a few notoriously buggy mods (Ice and Fire, Alex's Mobs) as well as a few MCreator mods, but it runs pretty well anyway and I haven't noticed any issues with them.
