# \u2694\ufe0f Explorers
\nThis modpack was originally just built by me and a friend to spice up a survival server we wanted to create. As it expanded in size, I realized that this could become something more expansive than just a cluttered modpack\u2014and it already felt a lot more cohesive than that. I believe this pack is a perfect, fulfilling compilation of mods for anyone who, like me, wants the game to feel a bit more adventurous, thrilling\u2014and actually built for exploring.<\/p>\n

# \ud83d\udd25 Features
\nThis modpack primarily contains mods of four different types (outside of API mods):
\n* Significant and game-altering (BetterEnd, BetterNether, Terralith, etc.)
\n* Small additive or decorative mods (Adorn, Campanion, Promenade, etc.)
\n* Quality of life changes (Axes Are Weapons, Omni-Hoppers, Tax Free Levels, etc.)
\n* Optimization (Lithium, Phosphor, Sodium, etc.)
\nThere are also a few additional resource packs that we feel fit the aesthetic of the pack, and an optional shader pack as well.<\/p>\n

# \ud83d\udcac Feedback
\nThis is the first modpack I’ve ever been involved in building, and it may not be perfect! If there’s sufficient interest in this I would love to keep tweaking it and modifying it beyond what my niche feels is right. I do plan to update this to versions 1.19.3 and 1.19.4 as time permits it, but it depends on when all the mods in this pack get updated to those respective versions. If there’s any mods that should be added or taken out, any resource packs that might fit the vibe, or if there’s any other suggestions, I’d love to hear some feedback!
\nAs well, show some love to the original mod creators <3\n\n# \ud83e\udd14 Plans\nThese are the following plans I have for the future of this modpack:\n+ Update v1.0 to match the current mod list\n+ Update to 1.19.4, will likely take a while before it can come to fruition\n+ Add a few more optional resource packs that match the adventurous aesthetic\n+ Finalize the list of additive mods, may remove some that don't make a tangible difference\n+ Potentially create a GitHub wiki page\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
