What kind of modpack? Well, it definitely won't be some mish-mash of mods just haphazardly thrown together. When I first thought about making my own modpack, I was playing a lot of UHS3, Agrarian Skies, Magic Farm 2, and Blood'n'Bones and I loved seeing what the pack authors did to REALLY lay down the challenge on the player via config tweaking or the MineTweaker/ModTweaker mods.
I held off on actually working on it as I was working on learning how to use Mine/ModTweaker and their syntax, but now that I have a decent handle on it, I think I could really do some damage.
As for the "focus" of the pack, what I am envisioning is a pack that is a marriage of sorts between the packs that I mentioned above and a few other packs that I have played recently. It's going to be really difficult, but not impossible. Good resource management (and some luck) will be a huge help.
At current moment I have a few goals for this pack, and I will be developing more as I go on:
- Create an arrangement of mods that provides a challenge while remaining lightweight and relatively lag-less; I'm aiming for less than or equal to 100 mods, although I will allow a variance of 10 mods
- Find ways to integrate the mods together into a well-made mesh with a tough, staggered, but satisfying progression (UHS3 style)
I'm still thinking about the mods I will use, but I have an idea of the "core" of the pack. I will eventually figure out the full list and post it somewhere.
Now, onto something I'm still iffy on. Showing the pack's progress. If you follow me on Twitter, you'll know I took a break from making videos for YouTube due to stress already wearing down on me (I suffer from anxiety, and the fact that I kind of need better equipment to do videos "properly" was getting to me). However, I'm thinking that I will do a series on YouTube very similar to mDiyo's videos as he was building his Magic Maiden modpack. Unfortunately, on September 2nd, I will be returning to school which will force me to record said videos over the weekends, assuming that I'm not absorbed in studying, I will try to upload them over the weekend too, but I can guarantee that I will slip up.
What will this mean for my other videos? I honestly don't know. If I find the time, I will continue the series.
In any case, that's pretty much it from me, so take care everyone. I'm out! Take care.
