This is a hardcore skyblock style modpack I am putting together, I have been working on it since 1.7.10 came out and it is ready for a beta release. I have put a lot of hard work into the pack and I am hoping you all enjoy it. I still have a long way to go before the final release but I am hoping with your help I can get it done.
You start off on a lonely tree with nothing more then a book and a checklist. The world is yours to build and shape the way you want it, But once you obtain flight be it jetpack, magical armor or one of the rings of flight is when your journey really starts as you explore the rest of the map and other dimensions.
A list of all mods can be found here.
This is a beta pack, you will run into problems. but don't worry you will have backups to help you out if something goes wrong.
When you find the shadow portal make sure to take extra lapis blocks and lighter with you to get back (This is a known bug and hope to be fixed soon).
Watch out for the weather you might get blown away.
Do not make any type of portals. You will find them all over the world once you gain flight and start to explore.
Do not add or remove any mods to this pack, They will break NEI and remove most of the recipes.
