Test and play it

  So you may have gathered mods that you like tweaked them a bit and have found a great combo of alterations, mods and some ideas but... Have you tested them in a actual gameplay? To test a modpack that you have made, you must take the time to play it! Or you can go one step further and play it with your friends just to know if changes should be made! A pretty straight - forward step but an important one! Fact : If you are experiencing lag issues or lag spikes you can add: Better Fps or optifine or.... Tweak some changes from the ingame config such as: Viewing distance, fancy effects (blocks, textures and such). Or be sure to use the correct version of core mods needed for the main mods that you have added as it seems that if you use older or mods that have a confilct with each other it can cause lag... So... be sure to have fun and pour your creativity into your favorite game!

Overpowered Items

  Let's talk about one thing we all know... Overpowered items! What does it mean: Overpowered is something that gives certain buffs, has high damage or something that enables you to become invincible. Adding a mod that has items like: baubles, artifacts, wings or mounts can be considered overpowered if left unedited. Having overpowered weapons, amulets or even armours is okay! For example: Screenshot from my world... A gorgon's head... From the mod Ice and Fire. When a gorgon is killed it will drop it's head while the body will fall and start to spew out blood. Found in a temple under the first floor. I'd say the hardness to kill one is 4/10 as you only neeed a shield, a sword and to wear a blindfold or else you'll become a stone.. Dragon scale armour... While it may sound easy to slaughter a dragon it is not at all.... Dragon scale armour (in RLCraft) is an early great armour to have as it provides well (amazing aesthetics) and a good way of protection against mobs...

General Balancing

  Balancing  in a modpack is the  2nd most important thing when  making it. But instead of chaning tons and tons of recipes, you  can simply add mods that make the game difficult.. In what aspect? In item obtaining and using... Such as Reskillable! A mod  that requires progression through exp for the player  to use better armour and items  such as: - A full  set of diamond armour requires  the defense to be upgraded. - Swinging a diamond enchanted sword will do nothing if you don't have the required levels of attack. - To make an anvil you need to upgrade  your magic. Many different  vanilla aspects are affected by this mod! Adding this mod or similar like X Life health. These type of mods make the game  "hard" not  un-playable... Tough as nails is another great mod that hardens survival! It adds well temperature and a thirst bar! If you just happen to take a walk outside on a desert biome in the day, you'll start to ...
