The Wind Rises Modpack
IronThe Wind Rises
Overview
IronThe Wind Rises is a mid-sized modpack on 1.21.1 built around Create: Aeronautics (and Create broadly).
To make that exciting we're going to need a dramatic world. The overworld will be full of towering mountain chains, wide valleys, and open skies designed to be flown over. There'll be other dimensions and generated structures to explore that might pose even larger challenges or just new places to try out. Using the steampunk machinery is one way to navigate all this, or they can choose to embrace the magic available to them.
I'm using Miyazaki as a tonal guide--which basically means whatever I think fits. Think Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke. Industry, spirits, vibes.

Custom Multiplayer Datapack
Custom datapack to enforce Mandatory Fun. If you are the only person online, you have 15 minutes before being kicked. You'll receive warnings at 10 minutes, 5 minutes, and every minute from 4 minutes down. Your timer resets in full the moment a second player comes online, so you will never be kicked mid-session as long as someone else is around.
I often find myself getting drawn into "just one more thing" way too much, and then making a ton of progress without anyone else, making it less of a "group thing". Let's enforce some mandatory fun into this. We can disable it if it's getting painful.
