Learning Modpacks

[Dakian]

The thing is that i am looking for a simple yet detailed instructional modpack to learn many of the mods.
Ive tried a few which had HQM but most of the quests just said: Craft "x" and have a reward bag.
Does anyone have a modpack in mind?

Sometime by the end of June FtB is supposedly releasing a new minimal pack called "Vanilla+". This won't have a large number of mods like most of the popular packs do, nor a whole lot of technical packs since it is intended to be an enhanced Vanilla Minecraft experience.

There are a lot of mods I'm looking forward to experiencing for the first time in the list below, and many that I am familiar with now. I think it will be a less distracting way to learn the newer mods, as will the new "Mod of the Month" packs that will start coming out in July.


As of Friday this was the list of mods included (58):

On Thursdays/Fridays there are messages posted in the "Feed the Beast News" threads such as last weeks'. You might want to check these to see what's happening:

Vanilla+

Surprise surprise! In case you missed the streams and press release this week, well, we’ve got a new pack in the works!

Vanilla+ is a modpack designed around capturing and enhancing the feel and playstyle of vanilla Minecraft. Unlike the Lite series which adds technology, magic, and infrastructure, Vanilla+ focuses on gameplay expansion through game tweaks and mechanics adjustment whilst spicing up the world here and there through additional content.

You can read more about Vanilla+ and check out the current modlist here. Launching late June.​

Mod-of-the-Month Selected

We also wrapped up our first voting session for our Mod-of-the-Month pack this week. June’s winner is Botania with 21.1% of the overall vote! The people have spoken!

Pack development will begin shortly. The first pack release (and poll for the next round of voting with a new slew of mods) is set to arrive in early July.​

Horizons: Daybreaker Pre-Release

Like Trident and Departed, there will be a pre-release stream for Horizons: Daybreaker to celebrate its release. We’ll be featuring some gameplay videos and questions for the lead designer gideonseymore covering both the development history and content of this newest iteration. The pack will then be available immediately after stream on Curse Voice as well as the FTB Launcher.

The stream will run on June 19th. Specific times will be released on Monday.
​

Horizons: Daybreaker and Vanilla+ Merch now Available

Merchandise for our two newest packs are available on our webstore! You can now snag Daybreaker and Vanilla+ themed t-shirts, hoodies, tank tops, phone cases, prints, and much more over on society6.​

June Town Hall: Pre-Minecon Edition

It’s almost that time again! FTB will be hosting its second Town Hall on Saturday, June 27th, just in time for Minecon 2015. Like last time, the stream will be one part open-ended roundtable discussion and one part news brief. Oh, and a dash of secret reveals. Can’t forget that.

Again, specific times will be released on the Monday prior.​

Oh nice just in time I am absolutely going to check that out.
