MechanicCraft

MechanicCraft is a medium-sized modpack for Minecraft 1.12.2 with the objective to find ways of utilizing various technologies to aid you in surviving, thriving and conquering after crash-landing on an unknown distant world. Will you overcome the challenges of surviving on an alien world, or will you allow yourself to succumb to one of the many dangers that lurk around every corner, under every rock, and in every cave, biome and landscape you explore?

MechanicCraft is primarily a tech modpack, featuring many popular and tried-and-true technology mods from modded Minecraft's best and brighest mod developers. The main premise of MechanicCraft is the introduction of survival elements such as thrist, body temperature, and hostile alien creatures. The way to survive and overcome the challenge placed before you will always be based on technological innovation: to maintain a livable body temperature, you design and create equipment that serves to keep you alive in hot or cold environments.

MechanicCraft is currently in public beta. This means that the modpack is stable enough to be played, but is not completely finished and may be missing simple features that are planned for later implementation. Here is a list of the (mostly) complete features:

• Core gameplay mods (the mods that will form the majority of the gameplay)
• Decent performace (there are lots of performance improvements, I don't have specific numbers but I will at some point)
• Quality of life (things like mouse tweaks, improved keybindings, etc)
• Cool stuff (things like the custom main menu)

Features that are planned or very unfinished:

• More cool stuff (better menus, Mo Bends, etc)
• More quality of life
• Better integration between mods using custom crafting recipes and processing recipes
• Quests desgined to guide the player on the correct path towards technological innovation
• Custom mob spawns to make various world locations more unique and interesting
• Starting area: crashed spaceship with various starting items
• End-game goal
• Story elements: dialouge, tutorials, in-world structures and events
