Kingdom Crabb

A fun but somewhat difficult magic themed modpack. The pack is focused on adventure, magic and a medieval theme there are no machines! You start at the center of a decimated civilization with nothing but the clothes on your back and a couple of books. As you begin to explore the world you will quickly realize it has been overrun by dragons, monsters and various magical creatures. As you explore discover ancient knowledge of the arcane arts. Build up an arsenal of spells by trading with good wizards, defeating evil wizards, looting dungeons or even just killing monsters! You can conquer the forces of nature growing a great botanical garden to forge powerful armor, weapons, tools, and other mystical relics. Spend some time mining and start a garden for growing your resources. If that's not enough then become a truly mad magical scientist delving into deep research of the arcane arts as a thermaturge and using your research to construct great magical machines from the magical world, possibly even create new life! Whatever you do, don't travel outside at night unarmed! 

Some other oddball mods in the pack are:

tinkers' construct for constructing tools and weapons, paired with tinkers' tool leveling to give the mod more depth and tools some bonus stats as you use them.

Steve's carts to give a sort of medieval industrial feel to automation without going overboard

Project E so you can eventually focus on exploring or building if you wish
