Happy New Year folks!

To celebrate a new decade, I've finally published my Minecraft modpack, Galaxy Odyssey, on the Technic launcher:

https://www.technicpack.net/modpack/galaxy-odyssey.1592370

The modpack emphasizes a challenging survival experience where you must juggle your hydration, body temperature and sanity; where you must take care not to allow structure collapse or landslides when building/digging; where you must carefully construct every tool and weapon via Tinkers' Construct; and where, through hard work, you can unlock your inventory slots and expand your life bar!

Warning:

The pack is DIFFICULT, and not intended for casual players. Read this Starter's Guide to get a feel for what dangers you'll immediately have to contend with.

Have fun and good luck (you'll need it)! 🎉

Make sure you set your Technic launcher to 64-bit Java, and allocate at least 5GB of RAM—more if you can spare it.

Here's an imgur gallery of some screenshots taken on my survival world.

Below are some of my favorites:

I use this one in the outro of my Let's Play series:

Updated to v 1.2020.01.07.

Aside from dropping two mods, the most important change to mention is a new file and folder I've added.

Your pack directory should now have an empty folder called mods-carryover.

Since Technic pack updates delete and re-install all files in the mods folder, any mods you've added (like Optifine or WAILA) will be removed. Place those mods into this new folder.

Then, after every time you update the modpack, run the new file called _RUNME_AFTER_PACK_UPDATE.bat. This will copy the contents of the mods-carryover folder to the mods folder.

Hopefully this will slightly simplify your efforts to re-install the mods every pack update.

Here is the changelog:

Updated to v 1.20.01.15.

The mods-carryover folder should now be included by default, containing a _README file that explains how to hold on to mods between pack updates.
Atlas' Library has been removed from the pack for now, which means you won't have that Yes/No popup after every bootup. The related mods acquired by AL have either been bundled with the pack or removed. As a result, you will now need to download JourneyMap separately. Put it into the mods-carryover folder.

All three of my mods, Village Names, Not Enough Cats, and ChocoCraft Plus have received updates, so they've been updated in the pack.

Mo Creatures was re-added to the pack. It turns out that the bug was due to the filename having + symbols. Go figure.

Correspondingly, I've removed all the + symbols from all other mod names.

There were a number of other updates, but those were the major ones.

Updated to v1.20.1.23.

-Added GO logo to title screen
-Updated resourcepack: Texture Update Backport became Modernity, v3.2.0. TUBackport will no longer be used and can be deleted from your resourcepacks folder.
-Updated mod: ChocoCraft Plus to v4.2.4. Fixed very resource-costly spawning code.
-Updated mod: Not Enough Cats to v1.4.0
-Updated mod: Village Names to v3.2.3a
-Removed redundant textures in GO_resources.zip
-Removed Saddle from Minebay
-Added Kale Seed to Minebay

Once again, all three of my mods were updated. ChocoCraft Plus in particular was running a pretty severely un-optimized spawning, code which has caused TPS issues on some peoples' worlds.

Updated to v1.20.02.25, and this is a big one!

-Updated mod: Fossils and Archaeology Revival to 7.3.2. There are too many updates and additions to list them all.
-Fixed biome conflicts in F&A
-Added mod: LLibrary, a dependency of Fossils and Archaeology

-Now, crops only grow during certain seasons of the year, unless they're underneath Greenhouse Glass
-Added mod: Restructured--bringing many new buildings to villages and worldgen
-Removed mod: Mo' Villages--it's now redundant with Restructured

-Updated mod: ChocoCraft Plus to v4.2.5--Chocobos should no longer spawn in unintended dimensions

-Growthcraft Thistle spreads more slowly

-Added langfile name for MoCreatures Roach
-Added death sound effect for MoCreatures Elephant

Enjoy your fine feathered friends!

-Et Futurum's Stripped Logs have been enabled, and UpToDate's disabled.
-Basalt no longer generates in the Overworld. It now generates in the Nether as extrusions near lava level.

Giving the upcoming Nether Update a run for its money!
