Hello everyone, my name is Shane but you can call me **TheArchitect**! For the past year+ I have been slowly working on a modpack of my own creation. It started as a small fun thing for me and my friend to play, but sort of lost its identity over time. I added pretty much everything and just prayed it worked. Several months ago, I decided to revisit it, and rebuilt it from the ground up to be something I was truly proud of.

I finally uploaded it in it's early stages to Curseforge, and have since released over **85 updates**!

So, what is Path of the Ascended? Path of the Ascended is a **High-Fantasy Adventure Survival RPG Modpack;** but it's also more than that - it's a *story*. You wake up in an unknown land, with no memory of how you got there, who you are, or where you are. Next to you, you find a leather bound journal written by the survivor that came before you - ***Kaelen***.

You follow in his footsteps, reading the guides he left behind, and uncovering the truth about what happened to him as you unlock over 60 log entries detailing his own journey from his perspective.

With almost 400 quests, you get guidance every step of the way from Kaelen himself. From the moment you first awaken, to the moment you step into the end. Every stage of progression has been hand tuned to (hopefully) provide a challenging, yet rewarding journey.

But enough about that, what's actually **IN** the modpack?

* **Hand Crafted Progression:** From reworked early game, to custom End Remastered integration, gear rarity and rolls, upgraded building mechanics, reworked hunger system, and more! Almost **every** aspect of the game has been tweaked, reworked, or added to in a way that promotes a more uniform gameplay loop.
* **Expansive Questing System:** From repeatable jobs, to lore based log entries, to optional quests and objectives; the quest book will help guide you through the entire pack from start to finish, while offering unique and interesting rewards and lore!
* **Detailed World:** With custom Tectonic, Biome's 'o Plenty, and Geophilic integration alongside **hundreds** of new structures, POIs, and dungeons to explore - you will hopefully always find something interesting to do!
* **And more!** The list of features is so long, I can't possibly list them all here. If you want a more detailed description and breakdown, you can head over to the project page linked below and read the full modpack description there.

As always, this modpack would never have been created had it not been for the incredible work of the Minecraft modding community, so thank you!
