Introduction
Have you ever looked for a modpack that uses one or several mods of the Intelligence Modding (IM) team but these modpacks always had other options which made the IM mods (partially) obsolete, were out of date so you couldn't use the latest features and/or had to deal with bugs that already got fixed in a newer version of the mod but the modpack just won't receive any updates?
Or maybe you're just looking for a small, lightweight tech modpack with carefully picked mods that compliment each other?
Well, in any case, you might want to give Novissima a try!
Description
Intelligence: Novissima is a modpack that is focused around the mods of the Intelligence Modding Team. The goal is to keep this modpack always up-to-date with the latest releases of the IM mods and also every mod they depend on / have integrations for, so that you can always enjoy them to their full extent with the newest features and fixes, as soon as possible.
Official Server
The modpack can be fully played in SP, however, this modpack also has an official server where some of the IM developers and staff members play. We may also use it to test some features of our mods and even help you directly if you encounter any issues with one of the mods while playing. You can find more information about the server on the Intelligence Modding Discord Server which is linked in the sidebar while the IP itself is already included in the modpack.
Versions and Updates
The version channel indicates the state of the version:
Version channels explained
- Alpha: Contains only some IM mods and dependencies/integration mods, lots of mods are missing, unless you have a good reason why do not use this version.
- Beta: Most, if not all IM mods are included, however, some dependencies/integration mods or other bigger mods are still missing. You might miss out on some things but the modpack is definitely playable if you use this version.
- Release: (Almost) All IM mods and their dependencies/integration mods are included. You should be able to enjoy the full extent of the modpack if you use this version.
The version number of the modpack classifies the scope of the changes between versions:
Version numbers explained
- A Major Version (the first number, before the first dot) change indicates that the modpack got updated to a newer minecraft version.
- A Minor Version (the second number, between the dots) change indicates bigger changes like adding or removing mods.
- A Patch Version (the third number, after the last dot) change indicates a smaller change or fix like changes to some of the mods configs.
Important Notes
Remember: The main goal is to always use the latest version of the IM mods with the latest Minecraft version they are available for. In other words, as soon as enough IM mods are available for a newer Minecraft version, the modpack will be updated, even if some of the mods included in the modpack are not jet available for the new version. In this case, they will be (temporary) removed and re-added once they are available again.
Therefore, if you decide to update the modpack to the latest version without creating a new world, make sure that all mods that were available before are still available in the newer version or you might destroy or even corrupt (part of) your world!
Also, always read the changelog before updating! Besides highlighting breaking changes and containing update warnings, they might also include some instructions in how to safely upgrade if necessary.
