**Mechnically Challenged** is exactly how it sounds: a modpack focused on the machinery and factory-building of the amazing Create mod paired with the challenge of having to unlock tools, blocks, workstations, and resources through various skills. Perfect for players who want more depth and difficulty than vanilla Minecraft can offer, while not going overboard with the amount of technology or other content mods.<\/p>\n
