Simply Magic – Ep. 1: Learning How to Magic | Simply Magic Minecraft Modpack

Hey guys Wells Knight here and welcome to a brand new series this is a mod pack called simply magic it’s by one of my all-time favorite mod pack authors drastic demise who’s also a good friend of mine and he created it as well with another mod pack of their name grizzle

Basically what this mod pack is is a kind of a tutorial mod pack for magic mods which is awesome because I know my way around tech mods for the most part but magic mods are still pretty foreign to me so this seemed like a great way to

Kind of familiarize myself with a lot of the various magic mods that are out there so a couple quick administrative things to get out of the way this mod pack is available on the curse and ftv launchers i will put a link in the video description to the ftv forum thread that

Will go over all the details about it and as soon as we finish punching this tree for wood there we go and the seed we are currently playing on if you’d like to play along is that you can pause the video and the world type is alternate terrain Jen so if you’re going

To use that seed to get this world type and generation you’ll need to use ultra alternate terrain Jen as well so that’s pretty that’s pretty much the mod pack in a nutshell let’s go ahead and kind of get into it a little bit here first and

Foremost it is an hqm pack so it’s going to give us quests which will kind of walk us through all the important stuff we’ve got witchery songcraft Latanya mist craft ARS magical blood magic information and challenges and then aura cascade and actually I seem to remember that the aura cascade quest line was

Created by a guy named Fortuna know who I’ve talked with a couple times as well so these are the information ok so there’s all sorts of different stuff your lumberjack oh this is all the challenges it wants all of that various stuff okay sooo that’s going to be an issue I guess

We’ll just kind of start diving into things a little bit let’s take a look at some of the modules in the back here first of all we’ve got obviously your vanilla stuff we’ve got blood-magic biblio craft autumn AG aa baton yeah this is all still boat Aniyah stuff to

Do to still boat Aniyah forbidden magic is in here carpenters blocks is in here that’ll be good for building looks like we have Java barrels obviously hqm is in here open blocks open blocks hmm I wonder if that’s been heavily modified it looks like it may have been I seen

Remember open blocks normally adding a lot more stuff than that but I’m not going to complain about it too much there’s some pretty cool stuff in open blocks we also have sanguine sea which I have never touched storage drawers thumb craft Tomic exploration so basically thumb crafted a bunch of thaumcraft

Add-ons then we’ve got ours magic a2 which is a pretty cool mod or a cascade which is a lot of fun and then chisel it looks like some more thaumcraft stuff and that’s pretty much it okay so that’s a pretty good mix of different stuff to work with

I think I notice that tinker’s is not in here so we’ll have to start off with you know the normal vanilla stuff chopping wood and all that kind of stuff as well now I should probably mention this series is replacing project ozone on my channel I’ve decided to end project

Ozone I did 20 episodes on it I think I definitely showed off the pack and kind of I know I kind of scratched the surface in some ways of what it’s actually fully capable of but I think you guys get the general idea of the way

It works and this is a pack simply magic is I should say simply magic is a pack that I’ve really been meaning to play for quite it’s been out for a couple of months and I just didn’t have the room in my weekly schedule to play it and magic mods are

Something that I really have been meaning to learn a lot better for quite a while now and I just never really got around to it I couldn’t find the right mod pack that would really kind of explain things so I’m really hoping that this is the one that this will teach me

Everything I need to know and you know all will be well so let’s go ahead and just make ourselves some real basic tools here I’m just gonna get this stuff out of the way there we go okay so got that going now food food is the next order of business and I see

Piggies so we’re going to kill ourselves some piggies get ourselves what are those elephants those look like elephants what mod is in the pack that adds elephants that’s that’s a little different not I mean don’t get me wrong that’s cool yeah those are most definitely elephants what in the world

Um we gotta take a look at that hold still pig what mod are you from menagerie okay that’s new I totally did not know that was a thing huh they’re kind of cute come here I want a screen shot yeah we’ll take it okay anyway I digress

Let’s finish killing the biggies so that we can get ourselves some decent food and not starve to death tonight uh holds hold still there we go YouTube come back there we go now I should also mention this mod pack is a very light mod pack it should run on pretty much any

Computer that isn’t a complete and total potato so I think that is going to be really good for you guys because a lot of the mod packs I play are pretty heavy mod pack I mean a lot of them just won’t run on anything less than a super awesome

Computer and I know that kind of takes the fun out of it for some of you when you can’t play along but this mod pack is very light there’s only I think something like 50 mods in this pack and to kind of put that in perspective expedition which is also still a pretty

Light mod back expedition I think has like 120 something like that so I think this is a good thing to be playing this as well that if you want to play along and learn magic mods alongside me you know you’re more than welcome to do so

Let’s gather up some of this coal there we go and this doesn’t look like a terrible place to kind of set up for at least temporarily let’s make ourselves a handful of torches uh torch torch torch torch torch now that’s kind of kind of anticlimactic I must say I was I was

Hoping for a little bit more whoa um oh I’m too hot guys I was wondering why I wasn’t sprinting I’m too hungry to run that’s what’s going on there we go sprint and nothing back there either okay so kind of a disappointing cave was really hoping to find some iron iron

Would have been nice but that’s alright let’s just get all this stuff gathered up there we go we should have that food all cooking up in the furnace hopefully by the time we’re done gathering all this coal we’ll have our pork all cooked up and ready to

Go so that we can move on because I this cave if it was a little bit bigger a little bit better I’d probably stick around a little bit more but I’m not really looking to do that there’s not even any iron in this cave it’s not very inviting we will take

That though tarma root from I believe that’s from ARS Magica that kind of stuff can be kind of hard to find if you don’t know where to look so I’ll take it I’ll take it it might come in handy sooner rather than later and should be pretty much the last of the

Coal I think no maybe not we probably don’t need to grab all of it though I’d like to find some sheep and get a bed going before night rolls around let’s also grab there’s an elephant standing in the doorway and I cannot grab amber without yeah um you know what

We’re gonna go for it I’m not like I’m not loving this location we’re gonna make a mad dash for a better location see what we can find it is getting dark I do have my Optifine in my custom skies I do love both oh this this could be a

Terrible plan we’re totally going for it get-get the stuff Oh inventory tweaks thank goodness that inventory tweaks and mouse tweaks are both in here grab the chest run away run yep nasty things there are so many nasty things that can spawn around those especially at night it’s not good but we

Did get some good stuff we got a man of steel ingot we got some title Scrolls we got a black lotus which will help us kind of jumpstart botan yeah all in all not too shabby not too shabby at all I think I see some sheep on the mini-map over here that

Would be good because then we could get some wool going get some bed time and make it morning so sorry sheep I’m slaughtering you for your wool good yeah goodbye okay cool I got her three wool what’s this mundane lengthening can catalyst I have no idea what that’s for but it

Sounds fancy all right let’s just take a nap to make it morning hopefully that creeper I see on the map isn’t going to drop on her head and kill us that would be really unfortunate there we go okay not too bad so let’s take a look at our

Map we’ve got oh well I figured out where we’re going there’s a village like right over here that I totally didn’t see before and then we got those beautiful walls that witchery adds I believe absolutely gorgeous still wish we would have found some iron but you know I’ll take the village the

Village is a pretty good fine – if I do say so myself let’s see yep go away skeleton I want I want those bones what do I not need what what can I do away with a wooden pickaxe don’t need that and then we got some

Latonya flowers out here okay all in all not too bad not too bad let’s take a look at this village and see if there’s anything worthwhile in here I have a feeling there will be it seems to be a pretty good-sized village this might be

A really good spot to kind of set up shop early in the game is there another chest up here oh there totally is look at that we’re finding all sorts of goodies um okay I’m just gonna remember that that’s there this is a library which is gonna be great for

Books because we’ll need bookshelves we’ll need quite a lot of bookshelves actually for some of the magic stuff this is a blacksmith this is a really derpy village though I must say the generation is just kind of terrible but once again some pretty good stuff thaw Miam ingots

I mean all in all still a good find I’d love to find some farm another blacksmith this is a double blacksmith village and that one that’s a Nora Cascade building man there’s all sorts of good stuff here okay we need to find ourself a house so

That I can drop down a couple chests and we can explore this village properly and actually loot all of its goodies I think that’s probably gonna be our best bet this looks like one of the houses that you can know maybe and the generation I hate the way that these things generate

Sometimes it’s so terrible um maybe we won’t live here after all I was thinking maybe we could live here for a little while but so much of this just look at this I’m you’re gonna expend so much energy running up and down these hills it’s terrible umm-hmm falling with that said

I’m still super glad we found a village this early because it’s really helpful um this house maybe what’s in here yeah this will do this is home for now just just temporarily until we get some actual like decent resources and we can actually like live somewhere that isn’t

Horrible so we’ll grab our two chests I’ll drop one right there we’ll just go ahead and dump all of that stuff away that’ll go there I’ll put a torch here here and here that should light up pretty much everything between those torches and I think now we can run out

And explore a bit see we can find I’m stuck on a thing Oh actually we should weigh point this one second here new home save there that way I can actually find it again in this annoying village that generated like a silly something or other I don’t know what do we got up

Here item frames what are these from witching gadgets icon Oh graphs whatever those are interesting there’s a bunch of wool down here I got a bunch of paper and ink sacs that’s pretty useful um where were one of those blacksmiths that’s what I want to know we found all

Sorts of good stuff in there let’s see there’s one over there there’s also the aura cascade building right here which I can’t get into because the door is generated in a stupid place yet again fine I’ll just chop my way in I see how it is then we use our pick and

Mine up these these are kind of the basic things the basic how do I say it basically the things you need to get started with Oracle 8 it’s a real basic set up nothing fancy and it’ll get you kind of on your way as you progress into

That mod I’ve played through that model a little bit I’ve messed around with it a wee bit and it is a really fun mod once you kind of get into it there’s some pretty cool stuff that it gives you let’s take this stuff as well might as

Well take the chests might save me some lumber down the road and then there was another blacksmith really you and your silly generation what is this I don’t know anything good over here not really let’s check out this blacksmith right over here we’ll snag up all this stuff as well there we go

Hmm anything else didn’t hear that I’m missing that I would actually want oh I should have taken that house right at the top of the hill that would have been the smart thing to do we got a vanilla Church which is basically just a dirty little cathedral

Not really anything there that I want then over here we what in the world whoa what is that that is the weirdest thing I have that I don’t even know what to say that’s just so bizarre is this a witchery Hut I think yes it is witchery Hut

Cool I’m just gonna close you back up there we go and then down here there doesn’t really seem to be anything else that I want either so basically got the farms of two blacksmiths and the Ora Cascade Hut and that’s pretty much it that’s ok though that’s still pretty

Good fines if I do say so myself and actually I think there might be some goodies up here in this guard Tower yeah kinda sorta I mean I suppose a leather helmets better than no helmet could be worse I’ll take that chest thank you um but that’s basically it can

I make that jump I think that’s a terrible plan let’s not give that a try I don’t see that ending well but anyway guys I think that’s going to do it for this first episode of simply magic we kind of got started a little bit got some basic stuff done and we found

Ourselves a village where we can shack up for a couple days until we get a little bit more established I’m gonna go ahead and grab all these potatoes right here and some of these carrots as well because food is the thing but guys if you enjoyed this video don’t forget to
