SHORT & SWEET OVERVIEW
Nova Academy's goal is to enhance skilled players' experience within modded Minecraft while allowing new modded Minecraft players the ability to learn at there own pace while in a vanilla environment.
Filled with tech, magic, exploration, adventure, and hundreds of quests to guide you through your journey.
Nova Academy's Story
Many years ago I was just an ordinary player who enjoyed the modded Minecraft gameplay. As time went on it became quite the accomplishment of completing one pack after another, from tekkit to ftb through many other popular packs, let alone the countless of lets plays and tutorials posted to youtube. After being staff for many past popular modded server hosts, I ran into many bugs, issues, tweaks, and people who were very experienced in this field. I began to wonder if it was ever possible for one to design the perfect pack that was suitable to test advanced modded players of there skills and knowledge but also teaches new modded players the way's of mods and how everything works. The challenge was designing difficulty in the manner that it needed to be, through researching, testing, and many trial and errors, it was finally time to make the pack that will change how players come together to make something EPIC! The outcome came out to be an extremely versatile modpack that not only guided those who needed it but also gave the objective basis to those advanced players. To this day the pack stays updated and tends to sway with new changes to give players new aspects to modded Minecraft to keep the excitement and experience going.
Features
( How Nova Academy impacts your gameplay experience )
With many of the top best technology and magic mods, we give you the opportunity to learn how to make machines and electric powered tools and armor that you can recharge with batteries. The get even better! We all have used computers, right? Well in this pack you can make just that but better! Imagine that you have a bunch of machines that you want to have running with just a click of a button while you sit at your computer. Well, Applied Energistics will allow you to do just that; control everything with just your fingertips, even with the selected magic mods like blood magic. Whatever your dream world or base is, you can have just that here in the Nova Academy!
Another amazing design that was brought to the pack was the ability to integrate both new and advanced players together by creating a multi-objective based reward system along with custom script changes to create a different modded experience, all while keeping a vanilla environment with 100's of quests to guide you along your journey.
