I personally am trying to find the balance between having the least amount of mods as possible while having good and interesting gameplay. More mods does not necessarily mean better gameplay.
As a result; my first public modpack. This is an RPG themed modpack centered around the player improving their abilities and skills, deciding on how they wish to interact with various cultures of NPCs and avoiding a wide variety of dangerous mobs.
This modpack is for Minecraft 1.7.10, get it here.
List of Mods:
Mod author credits, screen-shots, and changelog can all be found here on the Minecraft Forums.
If you have not played Millénaire before, here's the Beginner's Guide.
To reduce any possible lag and have good performance, use the acronym F.O.R.M. (good pun, yes?)
F - FastCraft
And/Or
O - Optifine
And/Or
R - Ram Allocation
And
M - Mipmap + Video Settings
Note: You might want to redo the keybinds for some of the mods' controls, since a few conflict.
Another note: when Millénaire towns spawn there will be severe lag. Don't panic, it's normal.
