A Basic Spice

As it says in the summary that this is a modpack that tries to keep the "essence" of vanilla minecraft. This mod contains mostly of quality of life and lag fixing mods but even some tech mods, there for this mod is a perfect starter modpack for a person who is new to playing with mods or just someone who likes vanilla minecraft.

This modpack adds several new fetures like realistic trees that fall when you cut it down, trees that gives you different types of fruits when cut down, this modpack also fetures XL Food which adds alot of new foods to craft and enjoy.

The modpacks main focus is exploration using different mods such as Level up! Which gives you the abillity to level up different skills for example woodcutting, JourneyMap that allows you to see where you've been so you can find your way back, Bailey's Dailies gives you different quests to explore and last but not least GraveStone Mod places a gravestone with all your items in when you die so you won't have to worry about them despawning.

For the New Players:

It might seem ovewhelming while reading the mod list but trust me, most of the mods does thing you don't have to think about like the trees falling when you cut down the lowest wood block. We also have a big focus on villager mods such as Minecraft Comes Alive that give villagers a more personal touch by giving them names ways to interact with them and also become friends or even marry them, and offcourse Mo' Villages that adds villages to more biomes. Sure there's also some advanced mods like Applied Energistics 2 that gives you the option to make huge storage modules but it's hard to do and recuires several tutorials before you learn it.
