A new adventure awaits!
The mod starts when you find a ruined ancient house, containing instructions on how to start without breaking the immersion.
But, if you want to get spoiled and know pretty much all of the features, you can go into the gallery.
The Hyper Smelter sadly doesn't work with JEI or any other recipe mod, so all the recipes are also in the gallery The rage and flight potions, are made with an ambrosite block and a smooth quartz block, since they weirdly don't work with JEI either.
Other than those exceptions, definitively use JEI, but I don't think I need to say that.
The mod is still new, so expect there to be bugs, and things that can be changed.
