SERVER FILES WILL BE COMING, JUST NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THEM! :(

Also many thanks to my girlfriend, who inspired me to put this pack together. <3

BUT WHY: 

This modpack is something that I made for myself and my girlfriend, but I wanted to upload this project to not only better update it, but also let others play some of the best mods this pack can offer in 1.18.1!

WHAT'S IN THIS PACK:

Powerful artifacts, gear, and weaponry are yours to forge, discover and obtain. The mods that allow for a player like yourself to thrive are Artifacts, Forbidden and Arcanus, Meet your Fight and more! Just know that to even get to some of these artifacts, you'll need to explore new locations and fight new mobs. Such additions come from Biomes O' Plenty, Terralith 2.0, Blue Skies, Dungeon Crawl and more! Another player may appreciate the selection of mods for building and decorating their own plot of land, such as Quark, Twigs, Chipped, and Simply Light.  If you are industrial-savvy, Create (and its addon Crafts & Additions) will give you what you need to make complex machinery and intricate inventions. Not only this, but Refined Storage has been added for those who seek a more streamlined form of keeping your loot.

Oh, guns are in here too, but they aren't an afterthought. Infact, this doesn't mess with the game balance. With mods such as Scaling Health, Majrusz's Progressive Difficulty, and Progressive Bosses, your stay in Minecraft will be a challenging one. It won't leave you without a chance, but you may need to invest in enchanting, stacking artifacts, and finding powerful gear sooner rather than later... Maybe pack a pistol too.

Finally, this pack will encourage you to explore all parts of the world to reach the End and defeat the Ender Dragon. End Remastered allows for such encouragement, requiring you to find 12 unique Eyes of Ender scattered all over the world. Some will be easily obtained through exploring biomes, caves and raiding structures, while others will be tied to specific feats, enemies or bosses (such as killing the Wither). This all culminates in exploring a dungeon exclusive to the End Gate. Once you beat the dungeon, use the eyes and go to the End to beat the game! Good luck, just be sure not to forget an eye or two!!

WHAT'S NEXT:

My biggest hopes for this pack are to add more mods as they get updated, make a pass on balancing and refining aspects such as combat or exploration, and even add full revamps to the End and Nether when mods for those dimensions are released. I also hope to add mods that will add more cohesion and compatibility to the current mods we have right now! If this pack at all sounds like something you would have a good time with, then I encourage you to give this pack a try! Feel free to also post your experiences with the pack in the comments, and give the pack a review if you want me to know what to keep or cut out. The review is totally optional though. :) I hope you enjoy!!!
