Hello ladies and gentlemen,
I am putting together a steampunk-themed modpack based on FTB Monster. I know similar things have been done, but they are usually incomplete or don't sell the steampunk theme I'm looking for.
The modpack will not be distributed in any way, other than to my close friends. But I was wondering if anyone else was looking for something like this, or if you had any suggestions.
This modpack probably won't be finished until my new computer arrives sometime in June, but until then I can just plan and stuff.
I want the modpack to have a good mix between Victorian-era exploration and discovery, industrial-age machinery, plenty of aesthetic options, and fantasy magitek. I have attempted to address these needs using the following mods:
Tech Mods:
Thermal Expansion (For cool machines and cross-mod energy compatibility.)
Buildcraft (For pipes, quarries, and cool automation. Lots of addons too.)
Resonant Induction (For gears, windmills, Tesla coils, and tier-based tech.)
MineFactory Reloaded (For the machines, pollution, and cool building blocks.)
Redstone Arsenal, Modular Powersuits (I imagine the tools and armor as being bronze and steam-powered. xD)
Railcraft, Steve's Carts (Steam power FTW. Railroads are nice too.)
Translocators (A must-have for tech mods.)
Magic Mods:
Thaumcraft 4 (For cool, steampunky magitek. Lots of addons are also included.)
Twilight Forest (Cool exploration element, plus some neat utilities and items.)
Xeno's Relinquary (Guns, magic, potions, tech. Awesome.)
World Generation:
Natura (For cool trees, plants, and farming potential. LOVE the clouds.)
Roguelike Dungeons, Better Dungeons, Battle Towers (For exploration in the name of science!)
Biomes o' Plenty, Alternate Terrain Generation (For a better world.)
Wasteland Generator (Disabled by default, lets you survive in a steampunk apocalypse!)
Aesthetic Mods:
Bibliocraft, Better Storage, Iron Chests, JABBA (For bookshelves, backpacks, and cool storage options.)
Carpenter's Blocks, Chisel, Artifice, OpenBlocks (For expanded aesthetic options, my favorite part of Minecraft. Factory Blocks are AMAZING.)
Mr. Crayfish's Furniture (Furniture. Pretty cool.)
CraftHeraldry (To create your own banners, and forge your own path through the unknown!)
More Paintings (Decorate your walls as never before!)
Statues (So your legacy will never be forgotten.)
GarageDoors (To keep your (insert steampunk thing here) private and protected.)
Project Red: Integration, Transmission, Exploration, Illumiation, Compatibility (For advanced redstone, lamp, and microblocks.)
Gameplay:
NotEnoughItems, InventoryTweaks, Rei's Minimap, DamageIndicators, NotEnoughKeys, Map Writer, ChickenChunks, CoFH Core, iChunUtil, PowerCrystals Core, Calclavia Core, Chat Bubbles, Enchanting+ (Nothing new here. I'm probably missisng some core mods though.)
Hats, MCCapes, More Player Models (Be who you are and say what you feel, and all that. Anyone else wish they were a pink centaur with an afro? There you go.)
Miscellaneous:
Enhanced Portals (Traveling through time and space in style.)
Emasher Resource (For more cool ores and algae.)
Archimedes' Ships (Airships, boats, and elevators!)
Gravity Gun, Ender Storage, Extra Utilities, Dartcraft (Very useful and fun to play with. Have a semi-magitek theme.)
Britishcraft (Tea, top hats, and trousers. Top of the morning to you!)
Flan's Mod: World War II, Simple Parts, Ye Olde, Modern Weapons (WWI-era guns, tanks, and weapons.)
...
What do you think?
