Description

This is my first public modpack i hope you enjoy it!

Defeat powerful enemies and conquer ancient structures, solo or with friends

                             I made this modpack for players who want something simple yet complete.
 Every mod was carefully selected to create a smooth and immersive experience, without unnecessary or off-theme   content.

                 There are no annoying quests or long texts telling you what to do, you create your own story

  To get started, collect some flint and knap it with a stone to obtain rocks. Then use two rocks to knap again and        craft the stone tool parts.

 From there, choose your path: village hero, wizard, or dragon slayer. The world will not be kind. the choice is yours.
