A strange new land opens to you and your friends or enemies. Seek out your new home and draw settlers to come aid you in your quest to tame the harsh wilderness. Beasts and monsters are hunting you, so dig deep and fortify your realm as others may also be working against you.
That in itself is a short, simple taste of what you can experience with Myth & Legends. The pack is built heavily with a sense of role play immersion in mind. Running a server, you can have your players build up your settlements, dungeons, and even change your characters appearance if you want to play as something more fanciful. Crafting tools and equipment may give them different prefixes which can allow for a player based market. These markets can be crafted and placed anywhere, allowing the player to even role play as a traveling merchant, even finding and recruiting npc followers to assist in the dangerous wilderness. A horse and carriage to haul your goods from town to town will be crucial, even crafting maps to mark places of importance which than can be traded or sold.
If you're a miner, you'll find vast new caves of wealth to plunder as the modpack is of the 1.16 version of the game and contains the 1.18 backport, offering much of the content from more recent builds. Along with the 1.18 content there are new minerals to collect and craft interesting and powerful tools and equipment, even found in the Nether. Some of these materials can even be merged together to make even more potent versions of the parent resources.
Now, the groundwork for offense and defense have been laid, but why would you need ever more powerful equipment? Well, many new creatures have been added to your world, even those with modifiers, making them more dangerous than their standard counterparts, but, also have new loot for solo adventurers, or parties of adventurers seeking to return with valuables to sell and trade. There are even portals which can be built, leading to dangerous places with lots of loot for those seeking a challenge or for a group of players to have a fun time together. new systems for magic have also been added, creating new and interesting ways to integrate Magi into the world. Druidic magic, Ars magic and the powerful School of Magic. You may even find yourself receiving a boon or buff from your chosen Greek Deity. Finally, where will you sell and trade at? Well, the standard villages have been upgraded with new content and mechanics, making living in a village and defending it, more appealing.
For those who want a more advanced and decorated place to call home, there are the MineColonies, opening the players to a new world of play where they can define the layout and development of their colony. Each colony can be one of a large assortment of cultures, or even a mixture of cultures if you wish. Traveling player merchants may be vital for the creation and maintaining large settlement. And when you have large settlements, you can have a new area to role play, with opposing cultures that enter open war with eachother.
Attacking or even defending your settlements can be achieved with supporting siege equipment, like Battering Rams, Trebuchets, and ships of war, like the Galley or Drakkar, able to seat multiple players at one time, allowing you to take the fight to them. If you are on the receiving end of that assault, you can rely on your Rally Banner, calling on your city's guards or military to aid in its defense. However, it might not be players alone trying to invade your lands to pillage its wealth. You can be attacked by Pirates, Bandits, Vikings and even Amazons. These events can make for an interesting and critical role for your players to take part in. The larger the settlement, the larger the force that attacks it.
- Note: You will need to add Optifine manually.
