Ector Vynk – What Modpack Should You Play? | How To Choose A Minecraft Modpack

What mod pack should you play it’s a question that is often asked so i thought i would try to answer the question as best i can all of the mod packs i’ve selected are in version 1.12.2 lastly i split up the recommendations into sections and i’ve tried to give a

Couple of options for each of the sections and all of the packs bar one have server support so you can play with your friends if you’re new to the modded experience and want a good introduction to the world then i would suggest looking at fdb revelation revelation is referred to

As a kitchen sink pack as it contains a little bit of everything like vanilla it’s sandbox style so you can focus on whatever you like it has a good mix of tech building mods and also magic mods if you prefer so it provides a good overview of the modded experience

There we go look at them all and because it is made by uh feed the beast is the flagship kind of pack which every version has it is a very stable experience which is good to begin with if however you’d prefer a little bit more hand holding than i would recommend

The piece of mind pack it’s a little bit of a lighter pack it only has 140 mods and it is completely based in peaceful mode this pack is designed with especially with new modded players in mind like i said it’s peaceful mode and best of all

It has a questing system so you can learn the basics all of that stuff and you can progress up up the ranks and get better and better with all the tech and magic which is rather excellent also if i can fly it has a wonderful little pop in let’s try and get it

There we go you can see it sort of pops in all of the landscape a sky block pack is a pack where traditionally the player starts on an island in a void world and gathers resources using different memes than the usual vanilla or modded way stone block

Is the best recent example of this type of pack and a twist on the genre as you start not in the sky but in a world made completely of stone from here the experience is relatively similar as you’ll start with some sieving extra high low and progress almost to either

Chickens or mystical agriculture you can see all of the quests here like that and the end game is very much focused around draconic evolution and project e also the ender dragon is a chicken now note i would recommend the first stone block over um feed the bees second one i

Think the first one is a little bit better quest based packs are packs where progression is outlined in quests whereby on completion you usually receive a reward you might prefer this type of pack if you like the focus of having clearly defined goals to aim for

Craft of the titans 2 is a heavily curated and challenging experience if you like combat and want to feel like you’re constantly only just about surviving then this might be the pack for you it has a very well thought out quest line look at all of this very lovely

And it has little redundancy in terms of making you craft items that you don’t need or aren’t necessary look at all of that that’s very very satisfying and nice whilst it does all this it also also gives you um gives you a lot of the story uh through

All of these quest lines which i think is another rather excellent thing it’s a very very well thought out and put together mod pack which i very much recommend if you are after a very challenging experience if however you like the idea of long-term progression working your way up from nothing then

Take a look at sevtech ages you start with no map no here’s what you’re looking at which is the little box that pops up that tells you the block you are looking at no tech and you have to progress through stages unlocking each stage by completing these quests and therefore

Gaining access to more tech more magic more dimensions this pack is meant to be played very long term it’s got the long term view in mind uh and you really do earn every single advancement so think about that and it has a very different progression as you

Can see just from this advancement you start off with you know very very basic tools and can progress very far in the game both of these packs are not for the faint-hearted so just be aware of that an expert pack is a pack designed for veteran modded players it usually

Features modified recipes and a brutally expensive end game if you enjoy the grind of a challenging expert pack enigmatica 2 expert could be the pack for you the goal is to reach the end game quest line bragging rights whereby you’ll be trying to make some of the creative items the creative items

Are ridiculously expensive as you can sort of see here um there we go so you will need to this pack forces you to automate pretty much pretty much everything and it features most of the popular mods as well so you really get an overview and you really will have to be versed in

Most of the mods in here in order to progress this is a hugely demanding mod pack and engramatica 2 expert also comes as a skyblock if you’d prefer vanilla plus is a type of pack that seeks to enhance the vanilla experience it usually features minimal tech and or magic alongside mods like quark

Chisel and harvest craft that aim to complement the vanilla game in life in the village you are able to build and upgrade your own village it has a very very small uh quest book just to get you going and help you out and you can also

Get villagers to mine and build at your behest and it even features npcs that live their own life and if you’ve ever felt that vanilla minecraft has always missed more villager interaction and you prefer the quieter side of modern than this this might be the pack for you

Look at all of that all of that stuff to do with villagers if you’re after a quick and fun pack where you can easily become overpowered then the newly released ftb sky odyssey could be what you’re after this pack centers around project e and making money

These are all the quests you have a quest line and you also have a shop whereby you’ll have to balance buying things from the shop which then complete quest whereby you can earn money now the end game is pretty expensive and probably will be fairly challenging whereas the

Rest of the experience is a little bit more relaxing there is little grind in the pack and most resources can be obtained fairly easily once you have enough emc and money there are several different starting islands to choose from making that quite a nice little experience and varying islands have varying difficulty starts

So you can you can you can sort of choose your entry point which is a nice experience i’d choose this pack if you’re after a bit more of a a relaxing kind of skyblock experience finally we come to my favorite type of modpack which i’ve classed as something

Different these mod packs provide new experiences in gameplay and or progression first off i’d recommend the excellent breakout you start in a padded cell you have a quest book there you go getting started and you have to basically get out of this of your prison each time you progress you reveal

Another layer of the prison and you can see right now there we go you can you can start to see that there are different layers and each layer has a different material that you then have to work towards being able to break as well the quest will lead you through several mods

And leading to more ways to break through as i just said until you are able to break out completely i had a ton of fun with this pack i very much recommend it if you want a different type of mod pack experience ultimate alchemy is a pack from the

Maker of the extra utilities mod it’s a skyblock based mod pack that forces you to think creatively this is how you begin uh ultimate alchemy these are your starting items and you can fly which is very very different to most other skyblock mod packs you need to be relatively familiar with mods and

Be adept at using jei because there is no quest book so you will need to figure out how uh to get all of this to work the ultimate goal as you can see here is to get clay okay so that is the ultimate goal of this pack

Is to produce clay there are some role play elements you are basically a wizard taking an exam which is why you are able to fly um the mod interactions are very novel and provide a great puzzle as to how it all fits together it’s a very unique experience very unique pack which

Is really rather great this is also the only pack that doesn’t have server support now both breakout and ultimate alchemy aren’t that difficult or long but they very much provide a unique experience they’re also very small packs in comparison so they’re great if you don’t have the best computer around

So there we have it my recommendations for what pack you should play hopefully you found something here to wet your whistle in the modern world links for all the packs will be in the description down there and let me know what pat you ended up going for i’ve been actor this

Has been what mod should you play and i’ll hopefully see you next time bye [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] you
