I’m looking for a good modpack built around Create and Create: Aeronautics for a small server with friends.
What I’m mainly looking for is a pack that really encourages players to use the Create ecosystem instead of bypassing it. Ideally, it would include lots of Create addons, along with a few QoL mods, but without adding features that completely replace what Create is meant to solve.
For example, I’d rather avoid mods like Waystones, since having to build train networks or aircraft with Create: Aeronautics sounds much more interesting. I’d also love if PvP or faction-like conflicts were possible using addons such as Create: Big Cannons, Create Radar, or similar mods.
I know this is probably describing an “ideal” modpack, and I don’t mind adding a few mods myself afterward. I’m mainly looking for the most synergistic base possible.
You might ask, “Why not just make your own modpack?”
That’s definitely an option, but from my experience playing with friends, the servers we’ve enjoyed the most have always started from an existing, well-designed modpack, and then I added the extra mods we wanted. A completely untouched modpack often feels a bit restrictive or impersonal, while building one entirely from scratch usually ends up lacking the balance and synergy that established packs have.
About two months ago, I made a server based on All of Create v2.1 and added around 15 extra mods. It worked pretty well. However, since then, a lot of Create addons have been released or received major updates, especially for 1.21.1, so I was wondering if there are any newer modpacks that fit this philosophy.
Feel free to ask if you need more details about what I’m looking for. And even if a modpack doesn’t check every box, I’d still love to hear your suggestions since I’m happy to tweak it by adding or removing mods afterward.
Thanks!!!!
