unnecessary

This pack is unique in the experience it provides. It's highly reminiscent of the early days of a Minecraft speedrunning meta, where you didn't reset a run on a trivial mistake and nether fortresses were the primary focus. The pack is most feature-compete for the nether so I have played mostly and will focus on that.
Once I learned from external sources how to progress in the pack (a bit unintuitive to figure out), it was rather easy to get a hold of. Looting a fortress, gathering resources here and there, summoning the wither, and fighting him in the cage was a fun loop that didn't feel too random. The mobs were best dealt with running away, making the pack feel more fast-paced, though there are a variety of strategies that are effective to deal with mobs besides just kiting, which I am highly appreciative of.
Right now it's a bit of a short pack that gets its wings from replayability, which is currently a bit low given there are only about 15 minutes of gameplay finished, but as the pack shapes up I think things will fall into place rather quickly.
Takes up a bit more resources than your standard 1.12.2 pack. I softlocked my entire system several times because I left another app open with it.
Having art direction be under the hands of the modpack to such a degree is invigorating. Curious to see where it ends up.
The scepters and future items needed to progress should come pre-bookmarked in JEI in my opinion.
I'd happily check it out after every major dimension update in the future. This was a fun pack.
