Are there mods/modpacks that encourage cooperation?

You're right, starting a Bread n Breakfast does helps cooperation a lot.
Agrarian Skies uses HQM mod that has party support.
But in all honestly it is not the modpack that makes the big influence, it is the people you play with. I only ever play coop games and have been playing minecraft cooperatively for many years. My Youtube channel that has been running for 4 years is called "Let's Cooperate" and we are on our 4th modded minecraft series so it is possible.
My suggestion is to find similar minded players to play with.

I don't know of any mods - much less packs - that have vastly superior (i.e. exponential) rewards multi-player cooperative vs. single-player or regular (everyone builds their own base) multi-player.
There are many mods which have additive benefits that more players there are working together and there are packs which play well multi-player co-op, such as Ags and BnB, as mentioned above.
Until there's a mod which has code that has something like:
...then I'd say by far the biggest determinant of whether a mod or pack are better for multi-player co-op are the players themselves and how well they communicate.
It usually works best if people specialize in certains areas or mods and/or have certain jobs/functions, for example:

Code:
double exp( base, expononent ) {
if( expononent == 0 ) return 1;
if( expononent == 1 ) return base;
return exp( base * base, expononent - 1 );
}
static final int REWARD_BASE = 2;
double getReward() {
reward = exp( REWARD_BASE, numUniquePlayersDoingStuffWithMyMod() );
}...then I'd say by far the biggest determinant of whether a mod or pack are better for multi-player co-op are the players themselves and how well they communicate.
It usually works best if people specialize in certains areas or mods and/or have certain jobs/functions, for example:
- food production
- resource gathering
- power production
- bees / IC2 crops
- magic
- structure/base/house building
- etc.,.
isnt there a math library function for exp?
Yeah, but what's the fun in that ?

To be honest the only packs that "Encourage" multiplayer gameplay is modpacks with HQM, i.e. agrarian skies and crash landing for double rewards. And I guess hardcore modpacks too. To be honest I prefer regular multiplayer, if everyone has their own base there is unique things to see. I play monster on a private server and when I visit my neighbor there is always something new and interesting. Although someone does live with me though.

I don't know about a certain modpack but please do find someone who actually knows mods. I know this from experience, I have a brother who is very new to mods, we have a private server where we work together but I usually do most of the things on it, I have done about 90% of the actual work. If you do work together with someone new at mods, you'll end doing most of it. I find that modpacks where you have both tech and magic support more cooperation because each person can do either tech or magic, or if you have more than 2 people, the jobs can be split even more which would definitely make progress faster.
