Dreamcraft
Dreamcraft is a MMO style guild war styled RPG modpack built in minecraft version 1.20.1 using Forge. The pack has 150 mods and dependencies to create the MMO and RPG experience. Some of these mods however are quite in-depth and may not be completely understood once you start playing. Thus the goal of this page is to explain some of the details of these mods so that you can get into the action and carve your path into the Dreamcraft world. If you are familiar with some or all of these mods then this will simply be a review.
Apotheosis - this mod adds additional enchantments and enchantment leveling up to 100, named enemies, items and gem slotting. Additionally over time the worlds difficulty increases meaning more difficult enemies will spawn. Also the more players online at a time will increase the spawned monsters strength. Most information is explained in the shadow chronical book given to players who join the world for the first time.
Better Combat - This mod makes combat more engaging. parrying, blocking, reposte, dodge rolling are possible.
Bountiful - a mod focused around an item called the bounty board. This collection of "quests" will ask you for items and in return reward you with something else. Luck potions and XP potions are intentionally available here. Since this pack relies heavily on randomly rolled loot the luck stat is especially important. decrees (shown on the left of the bounty board), allows a player to customize what bounties they will see on the right menu. Decrees split bounties into different categories and can give focus to items you need/want. While multiple bounty boards are allowed, individual bounty boards only allow up to 3 decrees. Only bounties from the decree's categories will be selected on that specific bounty board. Lastly, bounty boards level up per player and at higher levels offer better rewards.
Create - The core technology mod, this allows a team or guild to build tools, weapons, vehicles, machines, and other incredible devices. The idea behind create is to give players the ability to make their own technology instead of follow a tech tree. The mod is limited only by your own skill and creativity. Ideally this will provide longevity to the pack and make players who can use it well in demand. Many create mod items and resources are available on the bounty board, making balancing economy important for guild leaders.
FTB Teams + Chunks - This pair of mods provides the teamplay aspect of the pack. Teams allows players to make parties, and share XP earned through PMMO skills. Chunks allows individual players to claim up to 9 chunks as their own. Teams can claim up to 20 chunks to build their fortress.
Irons Spellbook - This mod allows mobs (and players) to have unique ranged properties. For players there are various utility abilities and attacks available.
Minecolonies allows players to start their own villages with villagers and have unique trades. Colonies must be supplied with resources to build their towns however once fully established these provide unique trades.
PMMO - a mod that provides MMO elements to the game. various skills must be leveled up providing some progression and certain armors and weapons will be unavailable until certain levels are gained. Thus, players with high combat or endurance will be in high demand or may choose to simply be mercenaries.
Lootr is a mod that replaces standard loot containers in the world and in generated structures with its own instanced chests. Each chest (or Lootr container) is unique per player, meaning that every player gets their own independent loot rolls. The containers cannot be destroyed, and their contents refresh on a timer every 14 hours. Even after you’ve opened one, the chest remains accessible: it will appear grayed-out, but the loot inside will reroll the next time it refreshes.
Sophisticated Backpacks offers additional and portable storage for your found loot. These backpacks can be upgraded from copper > iron > gold > diamond > netherite and offer upgrades to further augment their usefulness.
Waystones exist throughout the world and in towns. Once two or more waystones have been discovered these offer fast travel, even across dimensions for xp. The cost is dependent on how far you wish to travel. Waystones can also be crafted by players to create their own fast travel networks for themselves, friends, guild mates, and allies.
