What mods..?

 

Since we talked about choosing a theme for your modpack..
I'ts time to discuss about the next important part of the modpack-making, mods!
Mods can be vastly found throughout the web but (for me) the best and safer page is curseforge.
Search mods in curseforge, consider each and evey mod but choose only the ones that will fulfill a specific purpose in your modpack and mods that are useful to you.

There are many mods out there such as:
Recipe helping mods: (JEI)
FPS Stabilization: (Optifine, Better fps, foamfix).
Map/Teleportation: (Journeymap, Antique atlas, map writer, waystones, bonfires)
Visual/Sound Enchancement: (Dynamic trees, dynamic surroundings, shaders)
Combat Addons: (Spartan Weaponry, Spartan Shields, Tinker's Construct)
Tech: (Thermal Expansion, Industrial Foregoing)
Magic: (Bewitchment, Thaumcraft)

I have written some of the very mainstream mods.
The list could go on and on. Mods are a very essential part of any modpack, thus they should be chosen carefully and balanced.

If you wish to make for example an adventure pack:
Add:
Dynamic trees
Battle Towers
Natura
Biome's O Plenty
and many more...!

ZombieCraft

  From many different youtubers playing zombie packs, to other apocalyptic games which I've played or seen. I had an idea! Not to add zombies of course but a mod that will add useful content to the player. That is the mod ZombieCraft ! ZombieCraft is currently made in Mcreator, it's available in 1.12.2 and it has in as of right now: -Military Uniforms: Max Damage Protection: 24 Current Sets: Tan Multicam Swat Combat Pilot Greek Desert & Snow Urban The way to craft one is easy. First of all, have JEI installed *(you will need it). Secondly, to make a set of any of the armours mentioned above you need fabric (which is crafted by 3 cloth). Some of the Uniforms: Simple Tan Combat Pilot Greek Desert Shots are a one time use item! When a shot is consumed it gives back an empty shot which can be re used! They give various effects such as: Adrenaline: Speed 3, Jump Boost 1 and Haste 3 -Ascension: Levitation -Hydro: Water Breathing -Runner: Speed 3 -Zombie: Hunger (15 seconds) and S...

Modpack and NPC WAR

 The modpack I am making is a modpack based on something I was always in search of. Quests, adventure, magic and tech! It mainly uses custom npcs mod as it's main core, for other npcs and such. Furthermore many of the textures (used in custom npcs mod) that you will see are not mine. They were made by NPC WAR. His youtube channel can be found here: NPC'S WAR Youtube Channel The textures I used are here (both in old and new format): NPC'S WAR Custom Skins In this pack you will find: - Custom made biomes from a simple desert to the scary blackstone lands! - A huge variety of npcs in almost every village! - A lot of quests for basic survival, leveling and map related! - Tons of weapons and armor to choοse from! - Many different shops in each area ranging from tool smiths to an exp eater! - A big variety of building styles, block matching and detail to the last block! - The trading system if used correctly, lots of profit can be made from each shop! - Every hostile npc has drop...

Changing recipes

  When it comes to modpacks. Throwing a bunch of mods together, doesn't work always.... They are overpowered as items of significant use can be gained very easy... So that's when crafttweaker comes in to play! Crafttweaker is the  successor of the old minetweaker. Crafttweaker combined with modtweaker can tweak other  mod mechanics and recipes to  the point of removal, customization and with game stages lock and unlocking! A complete showcase of  craftertweaker will be uploaded in  my other blog. Since I used to love minetweaker. Crafttweaker  has changed... So I have to get to know it once again! Back to the point... Changing recipes is a balancing  proccess required in many modpacks. As  it reduces players getting  op items early on.... For example: A modpack will be broken if from early on you can craft a  regeneration amulet or something incredible overpowered.... A modpack can have mods that give resources very easy but each on...
