Description

Welcome to Grandmaster's Optimized Neoforge!

This modpack focuses on optimizing Minecraft Neoforge 1.21.1 while still containing interesting mods, ranging from small QoL ones like Quark or Client Sort to greater mods that add dimensions and mobs, such as DivineRPG, The Undergarden, among others. This modpack offers security to the players (with SecurityCraft and TaCZ) along with scalability in the long term with mods like Better Furnaces Reforged or Sophisticated Storage. It also touches the Nether and The End with the mods Incendium and Nullscape respectively.
