Modern Moderation

Modern Moderation is a modpack for Minecraft 1.12.2 compiled by Gameactive. As of version 1.8.1, it consists of 113 mods by default.

Description
This pack features a solid collection of mods that expand the exploration and technical prowess achievable in Minecraft. Featuring two dimensions to explore for loot and ore, a series of machines that improve your processing and storage capabilities, additional biomes for the Overworld and Nether bringing new building materials with them, and even simple quality of life improvements like atmospheric effects and less punishing deaths.

Basically… it’s a bathroom sink pack that, while varied in what it provides, isn’t entirely overkill and tough to run. I’ve streamlined it such that it doesn’t clash with the vanilla experience too hard, but there’s plenty more to do if you choose to pursue such endeavors.

Editions
Apart from the original pack as described above (henceforth referred to as the “Original Edition”), there are two other editions of Modern Moderation:

Lite Edition
Modern Moderation: Lite Edition is a trimmed-down version of the pack, with around the same variety of mods featured in Original Edition 1.4. Aside from featuring ~40 less mods in total, it also does not use any Zen scripts, so certain recipes are different from the Official Edition. Furthermore, Patchouli documentation is not included with this edition.

Challenger’s Edition
Modern Moderation: Challenger’s Edition is a planned “expert mode” version of the pack, featuring everything in the Original Edition as well as new additions. The premise of the pack is to increase the difficulty of progression by means of more complex recipes and new survival mechanics. This edition will also remove Patchouli documentation in favor of Better Questing quests.

Trivia

 * A 0.9 Beta version was privately distributed by Gameactive for testing purposes. All versions from 1.0 and onward are avaliable on CurseForge.
 * This pack may be considered a spiritual successor to Triple Vanilla, a 1.7.10 pack also published by Gameactive. Though they share many mods that are present in both Minecraft versions, Modern Moderation is signifigantly more stable and has a less “disconnected” mod selection.
