GenCraft - Forge your world, Create your destiny!

This modpack got started because I couldn't play the Java version of Minecraft with a controller =^I

A huge thank you to everyone in the Discord for helping GenCraft get to its first official stable release! Definitely still more work to be done, but we have come a long way =^)

In this pack I've tried to create a version of modded Minecraft that doesn't overcomplicate things, focusing on immersing the player into the world. I've found that a lot of modpacks include game mechanics that break the open-world survival aspect of Minecraft, while others are missing the increased depth of creation/crafting that some of those same mods provide. With this in mind, I tried to separate these two modes of the game and consider how each mod I added effected both the building/creative aspect of the game, as well as how it would change the open-world survival aspect and its difficulty. Easy is never fun. Although I've still got a long ways to go on the balance of the progression arc, I have done my best to try and make sure that both forms of playing the game can be enjoyed.

Along with this, I've also included various mods for Minecraft players that aren't interested in either building or combat. Some people just don't really enjoy the process of a new build, and aren't really into smacking zombies, I get it. From visual mods and resource/shader packs for the aesthetic, to various new mob spawns and world gen mods, this pack also expands exploration and the 'beauty' of the landscape itself. This plus the difficulty mods and new boss/dimension mods for more variations to the late-game, along with the Create series and other mods that add various new blocks for more variety means this pack has a little bit of (almost) everything. An enhanced kitchen sink pack with none of the fluff if you will!

Common issues:

Help! The Minecraft launcher keeps crashing!

• The version numbers of all mods within this modpack should not be changed. If you've updated any mods, attempt to systematically revert your updates until you're able to run successfully.
• Ensure you've disabled Nvidium / Acedium if you're running on an AMD GPU.
• For more information, navigate to the local instance of the modpack you're using to run MC. Within your instance folder there will be a "logs" folder, open this and locate the "latest.log" file. This file should contain extensive logging about the cause of your crash.
• If you are not getting an actual error, try giving the launcher some more time to load. Windows will sometimes identify the launcher as having crashed during the most resource intensive portions of the loading process due to the high resource requirements.

Help! My friends keep getting kicked for flying on my server!

• Multiple mods within this pack use MC's flight mechanic to enable their own functionality. Ensure you've set "allow-flight=true" in your server.properties file.

Help! My game is laggy!

• Ensure you've gone over the Memory / JVM Configuration section. This is a resource intensive modpack and you'll need to allocate at least the minimum required RAM to ensure a smooth gameplay experience. Also ensure you are not running any memory and/or CPU intensive tasks in the background.

Help! My mobs are ticking super slowly!

• A few of the world generation mods are some of the worst culprits when it comes to intensive resource consumption. This means that loading fresh chunks will take the majority of the CPU and RAM to generate, and optimizations have been made to reduce mob tick rate during this process. Because of this the modpack comes pre-installed with the server tool Chunky. This tool can be used to pregenerate world chunks, allowing you to run the world generation process before you begin playing the game. If you are experiencing severe mob lag, it is highly recommended you use this tool to pre-generate your world before you begin playing the game.
