Modpacks these days are missing the point. They like to focus on certain catagories, but that can hold a modpack back from its potential. This is meant to be a lightweight modpack, with about 70 mods and no shaders or any resource packs that might decrease performance. The main focus of this modpack is Ars Noveau, and there are lots of incentives to explore. You may also easily play with friends in this modpack, using Essential! This modpack has a heavy focus on magic and exploration, but keeps many vanilla mechanics.

Most important mods:(ones that have the most impact on your gameplay)

Ars Noveau (and its addons)

Repurposed Structures

Auto Leveling

I_Enders Cataclysm

Default Skill Trees

Mowzies Mobs

Nameless Trinkets

A few of the performance/ QOL mods:

ModernFix

FerriteCore

Clumps

Entity Culling

Natures Compass

Waystones

Enchantment Descriptions

JEI

RPG hud

Travelers Backpack
Tree harvester

Just two resource packs- a resource pack to make shields a bit less intrusive on your screen, and fullbright. If you feel fullbright is cheating, feel free to enable/ disable it by pressing esc and selecting resource packs.

There is no mods to add more biomes in this mod, and that is by design. Instead, Tectonic enhances the vanilla biomes that already exist by making the generation more realistic.

All credit to the people who made these mods, I didn't make any of them.
