SPUD Pack

This pack contains some of the most popular mods for Minecraft 1.10.2 which have been carefully selected to provide a decent amount of automation potential while still being able to run on low-spec machines. This pack contains tech mods such as Forestry and Ender IO as well as magic mods such as Blood Magic and Botania. As for progression, this pack is not against a little work going a long way and so it also includes powerful mods such as Deep Resonance, Draconic Evolution, and Mystical Agriculture.

While it is recommended that you play this pack on a higher-end machine, it should work on a machine with only 3 to 3.5 GB to spare, allocating 2.5 GB to the pack itself. This pack was lightly tested on a potato of a machine from 2013 with an Intel dual-core 2 GHz processor and 4 GB of RAM running Linux Mint MATE 18 Sarah with an Intel integrated graphics processor (on Minecraft's lowest performance options) on which it averaged ~30 FPS while generating terrain.

As you progress, your the game may need more power, but your mileage may vary. For best results, install a performance mod and run the server on another computer. There is no goal nor is there a right or wrong way to play, but if you need direction, I hear there's a dragon loose in The End.
