My wife and I are looking to start a new minecraft playthrough, and have decided to possibly try out modded minecraft. We are both very inexperienced with modding, but frequently enjoy how it looks when we watch others play. I have been given the task of finding an appropriate modpack that can suit our needs, and so I figured I might start here.
The two of us have often made up the "Builder/Miner" dynamic. She enjoys the more "cozy" aspects of minecraft, that usually mean building, farming, and designing. Some of her favorites that she has mentioned before are Farmers Delight, Actions and Stuff, and Envelope (a fun little letter sending pigeon, that lets you send letters to other players)
I usually tend to enjoy the resource gathering, fighting, and exploration more than she does. Some of my favorite packs I have seen are the ones that add new biomes, like Alex's Caves, or Mowzies Mobs.
(These are mostly off of videos we have seen, as we have not modded minecraft before)
Are there any modpacks that you all know of, that might fit? Or would it be better to try and custom curate some modpack? And how does one begin to do something like that?
I would greatly appreciate any help with this.
