Best questing/progression-based modpacks?

I'm looking for a modpack that has a real "goal", whether it be completing quests or crafting a specific item or progressing through tiers of mods. Modpacks that are just open-ended sandboxes never appeal to me.

I'm familiar with quite a few, though it's been years. Divine Journey 2 and Sevtech Ages, for example, are great, though I never did finish either. I haven't played in a long time, so I wanted to know, what do people consider the "best" packs of this kind lately? Are the classics still where to go, or are there newer ones?

Preferably ones closer to the easier end of the spectrum. I wanna finally get around to finishing one of these (though feel free to mention packs that are harder if you think they're that good).

Returning to modded MC after a long time

Last modpack I played was Nomifactory which was for 1.12 I believe. I have not touched a modpack since especially in the newer versions. Kinda looking for recommendations for what modpack would be good to return to.


I 100% do not want any kind of skyblock pack, not my cup of tea I did try one a looooong time ago. I'm looking for something that is sorta complex, actually moreso looking for something with a good progression system. Part of what I liked about Nomi was as you got deeper, previous stuff became easier (later circuit recipes took less resources or crafted more per craft). Not sure I want to dive into a modpack like Nomi or a more modern version of it if one exists as its a long long modpack. But defiantly something with that kinda style of progression would be nice.
So what kinda packs would you all recommend?

Because I'm crazy and bored I'm downloading GTNH with no idea what I'm doing. Any actually helpful beginner tips?

So, I was just thinking "I keep seeing mention of this Gregtech New Horizon" so I found the most mentioned modpack I have ever seen KNOWING it will be not good for a beginner.


Any tips for me to help my early game and figuring things out?

Playing Stoneblock 4 and i was wondering of what methods early game i could use for earning credits

I like to move at a slow pace, mostly just hoping between little projects as i think about them, and a mob farm is, as far as i can tell the earliest renewable source of credits through the quests, although there is a "cool down" for those quests, it takes a Real day, and i would like to be able to go abit faster than 50 credits a day, is there a reasonable way to gain credits at a faster pace?

Is there a balanced Parasite mod that doesn't destroy the landscapes of your entire world? (Unrelated image)

As a Random things fan, This perfectly describes my opinion on the portable mobs mod.

Stone block 4 : Is replica super op ?

I just built the basic stuff for replica and it feels like it will make so many things redundant.Does this ruin the pack like old projectE transmutation if I use it?
