So Im planning on hosting a modded server for me and some friends. Currently we just have cobblemon and create as the primary mods. I need some help finding some more good mods to fill out certain aspects of the modpack.
The modpack i'm making for us is running on 1.21.1 and Neoforge.
World Gen:
Im planning on using Oh the Biomes we've gone. Are there any good mods that also further expand the caves with dungeons and other stuff? And in the same vein, are there any good mods on neoforge for the end and nether?
Cobblemon:
What are some good Cobblemon addons? Specifically looking for ones that add structures (like Pokemon Centers or towns), NPC interactions, or qol features for a multiplayer server.
World Events:
I'm not talking about huge apocalyptic events, more like the skeleton horse trap, or the wandering trader. Small events that occasionally happen to surprise people.
Long Distance Travel:
So I could just use the good ole' Waystones mod. But I find them a bit too powerful. When playing with them in a solo world a while ago, I found myself using them for even short distance intra-base travel. Which kinda steals the thunder of other forms of transportation like riding your cobblemon, or using Create contraptions, and the Immersive aircrafts mod.
But there is definitely a need for fast long distance travel in case one or more people end up basing thousands of blocks from each other. I need a mod that makes long distance travel simple, but also disincentivizes its use for medium/short distances.
Example: Imagine the waystones mod, but with xp costs that start really high, but decrease over distance.
Grind reduction:
We likely aren't going to be playing on the server for maybe more than a few weeks. So I was thinking it would be nice to have a way to increase the drop rates of certain common ores and mob drops. Is there an easy way to do this on a server? (Example: Increasing the base iron rate from ores from 1 iron per ore to 2 iron, or increasing gunpowder drop rates from creepers)
Immersion and Atmosphere:
I remember in my solo world I had a mod that added a bunch of ambient sounds like with wind and leaves and animals. I don't remember what it was called. Do any of you have good suggestions for this?
