Description
This is a base Forge modpack to use for mod testing, experimentation, playing, or modpack making. I often have a lot of mods I mess with and want my default setup to try them out without a bunch of accidental bloat files from other mods that I've disabled. It can also be used to start building a modpack from as well, though it's just a bunch of basic utilities and Quality of Life mods added in.
What's in the tin (less than 65 mods):
