Description
This modpack was aimed to be super light but with still all the key features of a skyblock, and working in hardcore questing mode. Suited to beginners, as well as anyone who enjoys playing modpacks. It should all be relatively achievable without having to fight the super difficult bosses, although you still can if you want to.
I have two other modpacks, feel free to check those out if you enjoyed this one!
HQM Mystical Gardens: A slightly larger modpack that teaches aspects of a variety of mods, and is focused on forestry and plants.

Planting Mayhem: A very large modpack that includes a huge variety of mods, from trees, to seeds, to tech based work. This one however is not a questing modpack.
