Hello!! It's that time of year again, when we review new mods, new MC versions, and generally make a mess of what could technically be called a new modpack!
I am working on SCUMPACK 6! That's right, folks, it's happening. It will be Minecraft version 1.8.9 (for now, unless 1.9 mods suddenly explode with awesomeness). I am in the very very VERY early stages, reviewing what mods are out there, what mods are in the works, and what mods we'd want to have/wait for. I do have an "alpha" pack that is working. It's missing quite a bit of things that I would consider "required" for a viable new modpack, such as some kind of integrated, stable tech mod, and this pack changes weekly as I check on updates.
All information about SP6 can be found on my working document here. There is also a link to download the latest versions. Once I feel that I'm getting close to a workable pack, it will go up on a beta server for testing by the masses. Beta testing is not expected to happen for at least 2 months from now. However, you are free to download what I have so far, mess with it, add to it, and let me know what you think or what you've found.
YAY!!
