EXPERTise Needed 2
Java modpack listed for Minecraft 1.18. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
This quest-based pack leads you through most of the well known mods and even some mods that are overlooked. It also uses tech and magic together to create…
⬇ Download on CurseForgeThe author built this one for Minecraft 1.18–1.18.2 on Forge. On other versions it may install and then do nothing.
Overview:
This is an expert-style pack. Meaning that a lot of recipes have been changed, for the harder. The pack will diversify your knowledge of current mods. Some mods you will be forced to use in the early game and in the late game, so you can't just be "good enough". EXPERTise Needed 2 uses all kinds of mods from magic to tech to exploration to automation to realism and everything in between. To go along with the mods, there is sort of a narrator in the form of a questbook. The quests are not required, but they give semi-helpful rewards and help you if you get stuck with a mod or what to do next. There is the main progression line that is mostly linear, this contains major mods. While most mods are still nonlinear. As of now(the time you're reading this :), this pack is still in alpha testing so bugs may show up and/or it might feel unbalanced or unfinished. I'm working on fixing the bugs as they are reported and the balancing issues so yes it is unfinished. Now that you read all that, or skipped to the end(cheater), hit that "Install" button up there and have fun.
