1.7.10 Alpha Magical Quest -WIP

[Pavilion5097]

Hello everyone,

I have been working on a modpack that focuses on magic and exploration and im looking for feedback on the packs current state.

Currently its available on the technic launcher @ http://www.technicpack.net/modpack/details/magical-quest.529733
If you dont use the technic launcher or cant figure it out and want to still help test send me a message and ill send you a dropbox link with the mods and configs the pack is using so you can still test and play.
The plan is once i get quests written up and some feedback ill see if i cant get it on the FTB launcher.

So here is some info on the pack

Spoiler: Story Line

Your world has been destroyed by the ender creatures and you have been forced into another world which you know nothing about. This new world seems similar to your old one before it got destroyed but you are told upon waking up that there are some key differences.
(the story so far is a rough draft but for the most part that is how the story will start)

I have taken advantage of some mods to make this pack a bit harder to start almost anything and here are some of those features.

Spoiler: Pack Features

you can not mine ores in fact there are no ores except coal and essence from magic crops in the ground.
certain mobs have a rare chance at dropping magical crops seeds so you can grow yourself some ores and materials needed to survive.
Some recipes have been removed/changed to fit better or be more balanced

Now for the list of mods!

I have a few goals/things i want to get done before trying to get it on the FTB launcher

Spoiler: Goals

1. Write Quests/Lore to make the world feel bigger then it actually is
2. Get some feedback on what i have done so far. While i have my own ideas they may not always be the correct ones and other people have great ideas to. So im always open to ideas and feedback.
3. Come up with a better pack name

Well thats all i have to say so far about the pack. If anyone has questions or feedback let me know and ill try to answer asap =]

Seems cool cant wait for it to come out.

I have a topic on minecraft fourms where its been a bit more active.
And i do need to come back and update this before release but anyways

Thanks for the interest! Im getting close to pushing it from alpha to beta and it should be a short beta period then ill work on getting this pack on the FTB launcher as well (or the curse launcher if i take that long to get the offical release out =P)
