@softgoat well !!! you can still play as normal nobody's forcing you to use the mods, they just add new things that might make survival easier, like new tools and weapons and stuff. tinkers construct weapons can get super op it's great

and like !!! we can all help eachother. i'll def make you tools. i love making tools

and yeah there's computercraft too but again you can just totally ignore it

if you ignore the mods it's regular survival unchanged except. for more biomes
