liaDoes anyone have any #Minecraft #Modpack recommendations that add to your own personal sandbox projects, rather than giving you a factory game-style pre-determined vertical progression?
I really enjoy the sandbox gameplay loop of vanilla Minecraft worlds where I keep on doing personal projects I come up with myself (build lighthouse, build railway network, build automatic mob farm, whatever). The vanilla game itself doesn't really give me 'tasks' other than, like, tool tiers I guess.
I feel like in contrast, most mods and modpacks have a pre-determined progression path that you have to follow. Ore doubling to tripling to quadrupling. Build machine X or you can't have machine Y. Grind for N resources to continue.
It really took away all the creative fun I had and turned the game into a checklist-like chore.
I'm looking for modpacks or mods that work similarly to redstone in terms of #GameDesign. Easy to acquire, non-gated, infinite applications to your own projects, just a tool in your sandbox.
Some mods are like that, such as #Create. Some mods usually labelled Vanilla+ also fit the bill. But I don't know of many modpacks that really add only this kind of content.
I don't just want decoration mods, QoL/performance mods and tweaks, I want content, tech and magic.
A good example is the old storage mod #ArcaneArchives. Just a simple, non-gated enhancement to storage.
Any recommendations?
