Ooga Booga: Caveman Evolution
Modpackby JonTheMoron
Progress from primitive realism to advanced technology and sorcery in amazing terrain with a pack centralized on Pyrotech!
Description

Ooga Booga: Caveman Evolution offers a new take on the experience of modded Minecraft. From starting in a primitive setting, constructing stone machines, acquiring technology, and performing advanced sorcery, this pack offers multiple world types as well as 200+ mods for you to play in a new progression-themed style. With custom recipes, cross-mod compatibility & integrations, micro-crafting, in-world crafting, specialty workbenches, and much more, experience a new perspective on Minecraft.
Main mods include:
- Animania
- Applied Energistics 2
- Artisan Workstumps
- Bewitchment
- Biome Bundle O' Plenty
- Blood Magic (+ addons)
- Botania
- Buildcraft
- Embers
- Forestry

and more!

To get started, check out the Pyrotechnic Esoterica that you receive in your Akashic Tome upon loading a new world. It'll guide you throughout the beginning stages of surviving along your journey. You're going to need to get familiar with obtaining plant fibers from tall grass, sticks from leaves, and picking up rocks from the ground. Your initial tools will be a crude set, from Pyrotech, from which you'll progress to bone or flint tools, and continue through Tinker's Construct for further ore processing. You'll find all of that as well as the rest of the necessary information in your Pyrotechnic Esoterica, so good luck and enjoy!
We've now had our first official release of v2.0! Over time, the pack will still get consistent updates. Future updates will include bug fixes, additional features, mod integrations, and more.
