The Epic Mod Pack

Remember the first time you logged into Minecraft? You were dropped into a big world, filled with content, monsters, dungeons, animals, landscapes, and new discoveries. I too was amazed by this great game when I first played it, and loved the feeling of adventure. However, after a while I had seen everything. The game began to get stale, and so I looked for ways to improve my game experience. This was how I discovered the world of modding. My opinion of how Minecraft should be played changed drastically when I found the yogbox. It was a controversial and popular mod pack that added so many new features to the game that it was like a whole new game to me again. Unfortunately, it has been a very long time since it has been updated, and it doesn't seem like it has any future, and honestly has a lot of room for improvement. This mod pack was built with adventure and discovery in mind. If you are looking for industrialcraft and the like, look elsewhere. This is a pack made purely for the RPG qualities of Minecraft. 

This mod pack is fully LAN compatable! Get your friends to install the pack and play together! I have not tested it personally with servers, but any minecraft server with Forge should be able to run most of these mods. Anyone connecting to a server with this pack installed will also need the mod pack to be installed in order to connect.

I have spent a very long time configuring this mod pack for the best gaming experience possible, so that you don't have to! I've modified everything from chest loot, to mob drops, to dungeon frequency and location, to mob spawn rates/locations/strength. This pack is designed to bring a sense of mystery and adventure back to Minecraft. Find new dungeons, fight new mobs, craft new items, delve into the world of magic, fight powerful bosses, find grand cities, it's all up to you now!

When you start a new world, a chest will spawn near your spawn point. Its contents are very important, so make sure you find it. It contains a crafting guide, which will tell you how to make all of the items in the mod pack. It also has the materials needed to make your first wand, which is an important item for the Thaumcraft mod. Once you make your wand, place the bookshelf that you started with on the cround, and right-click it with your wand equipped to get a "Thaumnomicon", which is needed to use the thaumcraft mod. The other items you start with are pretty self explainatory ; )

Here's a few teaser screenshots, only shows a very small bit of what is in here.

To use this mod pack, you must have a valid copy of Minecraft 1.4.4 or 1.4.5 (Download it from www.minecraft.net). You will also need a copy of Forge Mod Loader for 1.4.4 or 1.4.5 (You can download it here http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php/topic,5.0.html). The installation instructions section will tell you what to do with that if you don't know.

I would like to stress that I am in no way making any sort of profit off of this mod pack. I do not use any adfly links or anything like that, and have no revenue at all from doing this. I have just put a lot of work into this pack and would like the Minecraft community to enjoy these great mods, and to save them some time/give them a good experience with my custom configurations. Every mod author has been properly credited, and linked to, and many of the mod authors have given clear permission for their mods to be used in packs. I also hope to use my experiences with these mods to help update any available wikis for these mods, and encourage the community to do the same. I will try to eventually add links to all of the available wikis to this post. If any mod author has an issue with the way I am using these mods, I encourage them to simply send me a message, and we can talk about how they should/could be used. If no agreement can be made, I will gladly remove them. Again, I am not trying to make money or steal the thunder of any of these amazing mod creators : )

If you have any questions, problems, or suggestions, feel free to post them here. I will be updating this mod pack with more advanced configurations, more mods (if I find any good ones) and anything that I think will improve it in general. This pack is for YOU, the community, so I encourage any feedback I can get!

Side note: I could not find any way to use spoilers in these forums. If there is a way, please let me know. I would like to condense this huge post if I can. 

Enjoy! :D
