Description

"Hello brave recruit! You are currently speaking to the C.E.O. of MAnA (Material Arcana n’ Automation) Laboratories, a subsidiary of the Research Union of Minecraftia, and you have been selected to partake in our latest experiment! If you are reading this, you should currently be in a simulated reality."

Automate the colors of the rainbow in MAnA Laboratories, a modpack based exclusively on automation. With gameplay inspired by Ultimate Alchemy and Star Factory, people familiar with this genre of modpack will find themselves with a unique, yet familiar experience. Start with nothing but a quest book, an acceleration wand (you'll thank me for this), and a mysterious blob of mana, and use them to create the ultimate factory!

Features:

  • A tight mod selection keeps content focused, with a core of four mods: Create, Thermal Expansion, Tinker's Construct, and Hostile Neural Networks.
  • Recipes designed to be automated, alongside giving you the tools to do so from the very beginning
  • 61 quests to keep you guided, but leave you enough room to solve problems on your own
  • 23 custom items to add some fun flavor and create a unique experience
