Description
Due to many requests, we have published most of our modpacks on Modrinth. But keep the following in mind:
- There are many content and optimization mods that can't be added to Modrinth (they don't allow it).
- We are also unable to upload serverpacks here.
If you want to play with the full experience, we strongly recommend that you download the CurseForge version.
If what you are looking for is a modpack that adds the basic mods that can never be missing in a game with mods, this is undoubtedly your ideal option.
It's the perfect base for any modpack, and of course, it's completely customizable. You can add your favorite mods!
Of course, you can play a fantastic game only with this modpack without adding anything else, and the game will be much more fun, without breaking the gaming experience. It will be like Minecraft 2.0! Don't hesitate, try it and you'll see how fun a game can be with just a few mods.
Do you need a server to play with your friends?
If you are looking for a server to play any modpack with your friends, Bisect Hosting is your solution! They have the best quality-price Minecraft servers, and with the code "Lupin" you will receive a 25% discount.

In summary, this modpack has been created with two objectives, one, to serve as a base for the rest of my modpacks, all my modpacks have all of these mods! On the other hand, it is the perfect base for your customizations, and if you want to create a modpack, I recommend that you first install the mods in this pack, and from there you add your favorites.
😎 Enjoy a much more immersive experience with mods such as AmbientSounds, Ambient Environment, Falling Leaves, Visuality or Visual Workbench.
🦁 Don't say there's no new content, over a hundred animals await you with Alex's Mobs, and much more! Yes, Alex's Caves has also been included in the latest versions :D
🕌 Structures are also a main pillar in this modpack, that's why all the YUNG's, Medieval Buildings and Additional Structures mods, among others, have been added.
🏅 A lot of vanilla improvements are also waiting for you, Better Archeology, Better Advancements or Better Burning are just some of the many mods added.
✔️ The “essential mods” are those that add little content, but are really important in a game. For example, Inventory HUD+, FallingTree, Jade, Polymorph, Not Enough Animations, and much, much more.
👓 Of course, you can add all the shaders you want, thanks to the Oculus and Xenon mods. The recommended (and already installed) shaders for this modpack are the Complementary Shaders - Unbound.
💑 Do you have friends? Then this is an ideal modpack for you, a lot of ideal mods have been added for multiplayer games, such as, Simple Voice Chat, Security Craft or YDM's Weapon Master.

Minecraft keeps loading? You enter the world but your FPS is low?
Please make sure to increase the RAM in case you need it, most problems are due to this. If you use the curseforge app, it's as easy as clicking on profile options, uncheck the option to use default memory system and move the bar to the right (at least we recommend 4GB or 4096 MB).
Is there an error with your server?
Unfortunately, when setting up a server on your own, or hiring a hosting that I have not recommended, the modpack may not work.
All my modpacks work perfectly with Bisect Hosting, so I recommend 100% to hire such hosting. Also, you will get a 25% discount if you do it through this link and use the code "Lupin".
Please note that for this modpack, we recommend a minimum of 7GB of RAM. If you are a large number of players, you should consider increasing the amount of RAM even more.
