Shades' Essentials
This is a modpack for Minecraft 1.16.5 mostly consisting of adventure and exploration mods, as well as a few quality of life and Vanilla+ additions. I wanted to make a simple modpack of about forty of the "essentials" so I can invite friends to my modded server with as little work for them as possible. I feel like this is a good beginner modpack for anyone who wants to give modded Minecraft a try.
The primary focus of this mod is exploration and world building, with mods like Biomes O' Plenty and several of Yung's improvement mods.
