This looks great, the design philosophy has great premise. As someone who has played a crap ton of Minecraft RPG modpacks and never liked a lot of them, I have got to ask a few things that pretty much kills my motivation to play any RPG modpacks
* How will you slow down the progress of the player and not give them diamond tier gear on the first dungeon they loot?
>A lot of the problems in RPG modpacks is how easy it is to just completely ignore lower tier armor like leather or iron when dungeon loot is incredibly overpowered. Same with weapons that you get through dungeons. Modpacks MUST have a way to slow down the player through getting less powerful loot
* Are you ACTUALLY gonna gate the bosses or are you going to just let it be fully sandbox where the players will choose what bosses they want to defeat?
>This isn’t freedom or being a good sandbox modpack, it’s just bad design and has never been done great on any RPG modpack I’ve ever seen. Everyone wants their modpack to be like Elden Ring’s open world design but they fail to take in the balancing that ER already mastered. Gate the bosses, make every boss a hurdle, make the boss’ drops actually matter, let the boss be the beginning of the next tier
* Is the final boss the Ender Dragon but upgraded?
>Come on, a lot of people don’t play modded Minecraft just to fight a vanilla boss that has been there since the beginning
* You say “Stage Boss” implying that there’s stages to the modpack like how tech mods use “Tiers” to differentiate the difficulty jump from Tier 1 to Tier 2. Does this mean that equipment will be balanced around these Stages
>I’ve already mentioned this but, gate the bosses, make every boss a hurdle, make the boss’ drops actually matter, let the boss be the beginning of the next tier/stage as a baseline on how someone can get more powerful. There mustn’t be an area of the gameplay where you can get a higher tier loot in lower “stages”/tier that completely invalidates any loot below it
You have an amazing starter here especially with the building mechanics, cooking, but the thing that makes me wait for the download of an RPG modpack longer than I actually play it is in the “RPG” aspect of the game itself

Hey! I appreciate the thoughtfulness that went into the infographics and the intentional balanced design.
I’m curious if you have played the other prominent RPG packs like prominence II etc. and what you felt was lacking from them?
What mechanics are you most proud of implementing this pack?
What mods are you using to do unique things that aren’t seen in other modpacks?

I have 2 questions
is combat any different from vanilla game?
could you give example what classes/subclasses offer?
