!(This pack is made to be friendly to beginers, and even first time Minecrafters, but harsh and unforgiving to those who seek to master it. While it is simple enough to get into, and very addicting, finishing the main quest will be one of the hardest things you have ever done in Minecraft. Should you seek to claim that you have "beat" this pack, then prepare for a challenge that will test your patience and your resolve, and especially your knowledge of modded minecraft. I do so hope you enjoy the journey, Myself and my friends have worked very hard to make this pack feel unique and inspiring, beautiful and challenging.
You could say that we put our Heart into it xD)!

This pack Features several Mainstay mods I will henceforth refer to as "Cornerstones"

Ars Nouveau
Botania
Create
Mekanism
Hexerei
Applied Energistics 2

All of the above have had many non conflicting add ons included. There is alot of extra and interlocking content for all of them
It is worth mentioning however this pack does include Sophisticated and Refined and Functional Storage as well, so for those players more sensitive to the overwhelming nature of juggling so many items, you have all the Best In Class options available. I included bigger chests too.
There are a slew of other QOL mods included that can be configed to be turned on and off at your leisure, such as Tree Choppy, and Ultimine.
I have fixed any broken recipes or conflicting recipes that myself and my community have discovered along our journey the even further increase the interchangeability and interconnectedness of the Cornerstones.

The Heart of Rhu'Naria is a custom item and crafting tree.
Rebuilding The Heart is intended to be an extended challenge to the player that:
1) Helps tie the different mods together, to make them feel more connected
2) Provide a sense of challenge, and purpose to the pack
3) Immerse the player in an Original Story that reveals itself more and more as the task of rebuilding the Heart progresses

It is in practice, a personal spin on ATM. Where instead of taking a small piece from 500 mods, instead the crafting path of The Heart will force the player to utilize near Full-Mastery of the Cornerstone Mods and their add-ons, to confront all Bosses and face many other obstacles in between. It is not just about speed running to get the needed ingredient, the Challenge rewards the player for finding reliable and sustainable ways to supply said ingredients. 
The Heart is intended to be Speed-Run Proof, you will find it takes a fair bit of work and commitment. Energy, Infrastructure, supply Chains, base management, Mana and Source Generation, and so on.
As the player progresses both
-The Quest Book
-The Crafting Tree of The Heart
The player will unlock more and more of the contents of the Rhu'Naria book item, which contains an original fantasy story with an original setting, The "Lore" of Rhu'Naria.

The Heart itself manifests in the end as an actual craftable, holdable item.
When held in the players active hand or off hand, it grants the following effects.

-Immunity to Death, all forms of Death, this includes the very most bottom of the Void itself, this inlcudes the Admin command /Kill

-Creative Mode Flight without cost of Mana, Source, Energy, or Fuel

-Every positive potion effect at the Maximum Power, indefinitely


Please leave your feedback in the comments or on my discord as I am planning to expand and refine this aspect of the pack over time.

(PS: The Heart of Rhu'Naria itself is pretty OP, but the amount of work that must be done in order to make just one Full Heart, outweighs any overpoweredness it would have.)

This pack is unfinished, but I work on it every day. The quest book will be finished soon with the guide book not far after. 

This pack is developed and balanced to be playable in Single Player and Multi Player on Mid Range PCs.
