Description
Highlights exploration with Tectonic and Oh The Biomes We've Gone and fighting off giant spiders from the Arthropod Phobia Expansions mod.
I find the ArPhEx mod a lot less scary than I've seen people make it out to be, so this modpack is my own version of what I want in a playthrough featuring this mod. It has about double the spawnrates of the mod's mobs to make arthropod encounters more frequent, since I felt that I wasn't seeing enough of the bigger spiders which have some neat drops.
The modpack features a few quality of life mods to make exploration better. The major mods used are Quark, Sophisticated Backpacks, VeinMine, FallingTree, Carry On, Easy Villagers, Philip's Ruins, Towns and Towers, Explorify - Dungeons and Structures, Enhanced Celestials, and Xaero's Map mods.
