Meideval Times

Medieval times is a good start into bigger Modpacks because it has not many mods, but trains you, how to play with mods. 

You can found your own village, loot dungeons, kill and tame dragons, build a castle from over 8000 different blocks on a very beautiful mountain thanks to the new terrain generation. Villagers need homes and jobs. they have animations e.g. when they are falling trees as a lumberjack. The lumberjack then brings the wood to the storage, where you can sell it to the tradesman to recruit more lumberjacks. Dragons can be used to fight, fly fast, or make dragonsteel with the dragonforge. The Gorgon can petrify everything that is living, there are trolls and dreads that attack you at night, rivers can flow, zombies and spiders behave more naturally and you can brew wine.
