A magic modpack? A technology modpack? Why not both!
With Arcanum: of Steam and Magic, you can become the most powerful Arcanist in Minecraft!
Follow one of numerous magic schools and learn spells, automate your base with handy plugins and machines, and then top it off with a collection of decorative blocks to make the ultimate magical home - all of it lag free!
Our modpack is designed to give you the experience comparable to many large-scale magic based packs, while remaining multiplayer-friendly and not requiring a powerful, led-covered gaming computer to even run.
Some of the mods we use:
- Occultism
- Apotheosis
- Ars Noveau
- Artifacts
- Champions
- Create
- Eidolon
- Enigmatic Legacy
- FTB Chunks / Essentials / Quests / Ranks / Teams
- Ice and Fire: Dragons
- Just Enough Items
- Mahou Tsukai
- Mystical Agriculture
- Sophisticated Backpacks
- The Sound of Music [a mod that gives you playable instruments in minecraft]
- Joy of Painting [ability to create custom paintings in game, pixel-art style]
- Vampirism [with werewolves!]
- And more!
Any and all upgrades or mod additions are first tested out with efficiency and low latency in mind, while still providing as much content as possible.
Inspired by ATM:SB, the Arcanum brings you the magical experience at low resource cost!
[Includes numerous fixes and plugins for optimal framerates and lag-free gameplay]
