Been looking to play the OG Sky Bees pack(or perhaps its sequel Sky Bees 2) for a good while but haven't gotten around to it until recently. When I went to try it out, I saw there was a remake for modern versions which excited me as I'm more of 1.20.1 or 1.21.1 player lol.
Actually playing it has... disappointed me a bit. To sum it up in a word, I felt pretty whelmed.
The AI profile picture should have been my first sign but, annoyingly, I wanted to l look past it.

It's not necessarily a bad pack, it just feels... kind of lazy. Questbook is decent and there is a sense of progression to be certain, but crafting recipes and stuff are for the most part unmodified.
Apart from some mildly intriguing Ex Nihilo(or rather Ex Deorum) at the beginning, it's your standard modded Skyblock with a bee mod thrown in.
You've got your drawers and backpacks, crouching for crops, botany pots, Productive Metalworks, and although I haven't gotten quite that far yet there's your standard Mekanism, IE, AE2, etc. No Create though, which as much as I love the mod is always a plus.
Questbook is present and at the very least better than Skyfactory(not that that's a high bar lmao) but it's still sort of the bare minimum, once early game ends you have to fight for yourself.

I'm really focusing on the negatives here but for the most part it's just, as the title says, a standard modded Skyblock pack. Performance is obviously perfectly fine, even with shaders(I used Euphoria Patched Complementary), as most Skyblocks tend to be.

Visuals are fine, they're not particularly bad or anything, just default textures; no real consistency there.

All in all, if you want a fairly barebones modded Skyblock I would recommend it, otherwise go play ATMTTS or something.
