There used to be a bigger version of this thread a few months ago, but someone removed it due to "not fitting in the forum category". It used to fit before, but they changed the forum section name (so it wouldn't fit), and then removed the thread. They told me, and a bunch of other users, that they would make a dedicated section, but months later we see no change. The old thread is still locked, and nobody can see it. Tons of (30+ pages) players who wanted friends to play with just get denied. So in order to prevent that from happening again, this thread is being remade and placed in the "most appropriate section" possible. Since people usually look for friends to play survival with, this thread is being made in the Survival Mode Discussion mode section.
Rules are simple. Copy the template and fill it out, and wait for someone to contact you. Be sure to read the other posts before making your own in case there is someone who already meets your needs! You don't have to fill out everything if you don't want to, but make sure to provide a detailed way to contact you.

TLDR:
A pack with long term playability, magic and tech focused. A challenge but not hardcore. Unique world gen, many ores and mobs. Mod integration/recipes. 250+ Mods.
Awakening modpack aims to be a pack unlike any other. It is designed to be a long term use pack e.g. for a long Minecraft let’s play series or just an everyday pack to keep you playing for a long time (with well over 250 mods). Say no to defaults! Nearly every mod and config in this pack has been edited or modified to make them work better together. The ultimate idea of the pack is to integrate mods together so well that you wouldn’t know they were ever meant to be separate.
Note: This is a pretty heavy pack. You will need a fairly decent computer to run it. I would recommended setting your RAM to 4-6GB (but no more) in the Curse/FTB/Twitch launcher settings.
Please note this pack is currently in BETA, some features are still being worked on and balance may be slightly off. That said the pack should be more than stable enough to play and I would very much like to hear from people with feedback, suggestions or problems that they encounter. The pack will be updated pretty regularly (roughly weekly) until out of BETA.

Q. Can I use this modpack to record a YouTube/Twitch etc. series?
A. If you use this modpack for a let’s play, please let me know. I would love to link to it in this thread. Other than that go for it!

A. Sure! Dedicated server release is now available, just look under the 'Additional Files' section after choosing the version you want to use (HERE).

A. Please post any bugs to the modpack’s Curse issues page (HERE).

Tired of the same old world gen?
Biomes are varied but not overly hard to find. Awakening modpack uses a set of biomes from Vanilla, Biomes O Plenty, Thaumcraft and the Highlands mod. These have however been edited using Climate Control. Biome sizes have been reduced giving more variation over a smaller area. Certain biomes have been removed and custom tree spawning has been setup so you shouldn’t have multiple variants of the same trees/woods. Rivers have been widened to allow for more bridge building as well as having flowing streams both above and below ground using the Streams mod. Underground variation is catered for by Underground Biomes Constructs and WTF Cave Biomes not to mention a completely overhauled ore generation and mob depth system (more on this later). Want to build your home on a flying mountain? No problem!
Key mods used here:
Biomes O Plenty
Highlands
Thaumcraft

Big Trees
My World Gen
Underground Biomes Constructs
COFH Core
WTF Cave Biomes
Tired of the same old mobs?
Awakening modpack was designed to be a challenge but not too hardcore. We wanted a variety of mobs but not an abundance of OP mobs. We wanted the player to be scared like that first night the first time you played Minecraft, but not constantly terrified for their life. Mobs spawn more frequently but are more dangerous at depth. Mobs also have custom drops using the Mob Properties mod. Plus, there are a few hidden mini bosses that you will have to try and find…
Key mods used here:
Dungeon Mobs
Project Zulu
Just Another Spawner
Mystical Mobs
AI Improvements
Nightmare Creatures II
Lava Monsters
Mob Properties
Tired of the same old ores?
Minecraft is a game about crafting and mining right? Well let’s be honest the mining part can get boring especially if there are only a few different ores to find. Luckily Awakening completely overhauls the mining experience with more ores, gems and other goodies than you can shake a stick at! 65 overworld mineables, 27 nether mineables and 4 end mineables (at last count) will keep you digging them holes for weeks, and that’s not even counting all the different stone, sand, dirt, grass and gravel types to dig up. Harder ores are setup to be rarer so you will have to search for them but not too hard (remember ore is plentiful down deep where the stronger monsters lurk). Uni Dict helps make sure you only get one type of each material, no more three different kinds of copper after you run it through your machines.
Key mods used here:
COFH Core
Gems+
Metallurgy
Nether Ores
UBC Ore Registrar
Uni Dict
WTF Ores
Custom dungeons with custom mobs hidden throughout the overworld and the nether with give adventurers plenty to do. Custom chest loot and mob drops also mean chests aren’t just filled with useless crap, and are actually exciting to find.
Key mods used here:
Doomlike Dungeons
Project Zulu
Dungeon Mobs
Custom Chest Loot
Loot Bags
Budding builders will have a raft of materials at their disposal. With many varying stone and wood types throughout the world, not to mention Chisel, Wallpaper Craft and Ztones, you will have no trouble building whatever you can imagine. Don’t forget to decorate, with Decocraft, Mr Crays Furniture Mod and Bibliocraft to name a few, interiors can look as good as exteriors. And with Architecture Craft and Carpenters Blocks to play with you don’t just have to use boring blocks anymore!
Key mods used here:
Architecture Craft
Chisel
Wallpaper Craft

Bibliocraft
Carpenters Blocks
Ever find yourself just running around with a stack of bread in your inventory for food? Well no more. Awakening opts for a slightly harder food system, but not one that is annoying or massively hardcore or time consuming. The idea is that you will want to craft different foods rather than being forced to. Food variation comes from Pam’s Harvestcraft, with food settings being setup by Apple Core and The Spice of Life. For the rancher, animals will eat food left on the ground. Many animals start off wild and must be bred to improve their level of domestication and drops.
Key mods used here:
Pam’s Harvestcraft
Apple Core
The Spice of Life
Improving Minecraft
Magical Crops
Tech and magic go hand in hand in this pack. You will need to follow both paths to build many things in the pack.
Key mods used here:
Thaumcraft
EnderIO
Mekanism
Thermal Expansion
Botania
Immersive Engineering
Applied Energistics 2
Minefactory Reloaded
+ many more!
Custom crafting is designed to merge mods together, requiring items from a mixture of mods. This is designed to get people to try mods they may not have used before but not to be overly difficult. Remember to use NEI as many recipes may be changed (WIP).
Key mods used here:
Not Enough Items
Mod Tweaker
Avaritia
INpure Core
Craft Tweaker
A custom engaging story (WIP).
This pack contains Fastcraft, by Player, enabled by default. Fastcraft enhances Minecraft with increased performance. Bug reports being made directly to Mod Authors should state Fastcraft is enabled.

That may actually be a mod called AOBD (Another One Bites The Dust), the latest release has gany's nether support turned off by default in the config, it used to be on by default.

This 'over used joke' is normally made when someone is aking for something very simple to basically be spoon fed to them.
The second and third links on that page are to curse forge, you know that 'unreliable site' that hosts probably 90% of minecraft mods out there including the 1.6.4 version of this mod...
