Diamon's Selfpack

# **Diamon's SelfPack** ### **A Colossal 470+ Mod Kitchen-Sink for 1.20.1 | A Sandbox with Character**  **This is not a pack for weak PCs or a quick playthrough.** It's a meticulously assembled, living world for **Forge 1.20.1**, where every mod is part of a greater ecosystem. Deep RPG, engineering creativity, and survival in a dangerous world are all woven together. We've spent hundreds of hours making the incompatible work together (just look at **Simply Skills**), so you get a ready-made epic sandbox. --- ### 🎭 **The Two Sides of the Pack** | 🌟 **Strengths (What It's Praised For)** | ⚠️ **Considerations (What Requires Understanding)** | | :--- | :--- | | **Unbounded Depth:** Full-fledged RPG skills (**Simply Skills**), magic (**Iron's Spells**), technology (**Create + 40 addons**), and exploration in one pack. | **Demanding on Resources:** This is **470+ mods**. It **will not launch** with less than 8 GB of allocated RAM. For comfort with shaders, 12 GB and a GPU like a **GTX 1660 / RX 6600** are recommended. | | **A World Worth Exploring:** Landscapes by **Terralith** & **BWG**, eerie **Alex's Caves**, hellish **Incendium**, and dozens of unique dungeons (**YUNG's**, **Cataclysm**). | **Not Perfectly Optimized:** Despite **Embeddium** and **ModernFix**, FPS will dip in the densest forests or caves. This is the trade-off for scale. | | **Stability Within Chaos:** The pack is tested. Version **7.0.1** is the result of fixing bugs and lag from past releases (avoid **5.0.0**). | **Complex for Beginners:** There's no built-in quest mod. You set your own goals: become a mage, an engineer, or a dragon hunter. | | **Full Integration:** Even complex dependency chains (like those for **Simply Skills**) work out of the box. | | --- ### 📊 **Detailed Mod Breakdown** Here is the core framework of the pack. This is not a complete list, but it shows its scope. | Category | Core Mods & Notes | | :--- | :--- | | **🌍 World Generation** | **Terralith** (pre-7.0) / **Oh The Biomes You'll Go**, **Incendium** (Nether), **Nullscape** (End), **Alex's Caves**. The foundation for exploration. | | **⚔️ Combat & Adventure** | **Better Combat**, **ParCool!** (movement), **Ender Dragon Fight Remastered**.**Cataclysm** & **Integrated Dungeons** for brutal bosses.**YUNG's** full suite (Better Dungeons, Temples, etc.) for perfected vanilla-like structures. | | **👨‍🔧 Technology & Automation** | **Create** and its massive ecosystem (**New Age, Enchantment Industry, Steam 'n' Rails** +35 others).**Immersive Engineering**, **Applied Energistics 2** for complex logistics. | | **🧙 RPG, Magic & Mobs** | **Simply Skills** – the complete skill tree system with all its dependencies (Pufferfish's Skills/Attributes, etc.).**Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks**, **Spell Engine** for arcane arts.**Ice and Fire** (dragons), **Alex's Mobs**, **Mowzie's Mobs** for a living world. | | **🍳 Food & Immersion** | **Farmer's Delight** and all its dimension addons (Nether's, End's, etc.).**Create: Food & Bakery**, **Let's Do** (Vinery, Bakery) for automation.**Sophisticated Backpacks**, **Recolorful Containers** (v7.0+). | | **🔧 Optimization & Interface** | **Embeddium** (Sodium for Forge), **ModernFix**, **Radium** (Canary/Lithium), **Entity Culling**, **Fastload**.**EMI** (item browsing), **Jade** (block info), **Spark** for profiling. | --- ### ⚙️ **Performance & Real Talk** **The pack can be laggy.** * **We are honest about this.** With 470 mods, perfect optimization is a myth. * **The main culprits** (based on in-depth `spark` profiling) are usually aggressive mob spawns (like **Artifacts mimics**) and Java's Garbage Collector under load. * **What we've done:** Pre-configured performance mods and carefully balanced spawns where possible. * **What you can do:** Allocate **10-12 GB of RAM**, use the **Modrinth App** for installation, and join our Discord for community-tuned configs and launch arguments that help mitigate lag spikes. ### 🚀 **Getting Started** 1. **Use the Modrinth App.** It's the simplest way to install and manage the pack and its dependencies. 2. **Allocate RAM correctly:** Set **10-12 GB** (e.g., `-Xmx10G`) in your launcher *before* first launch. 3. **Join our community:** For support, shared configurations, and showcases: **[https://discord.gg/7ZACpYe4](https://discord.gg/7ZACpYe4)**. 4. **Choose your own path.** The sandbox is yours. --- *Description crafted with AI assistance. The pack is a grand, ambitious project that can be laggy in dense areas but offers an unmatched scale of content for those with the hardware to support it.*
