What's in the Nephrite Modpack?
Explore:
While building a home or base is a key aspect of Minecraft, exploration is not to be overlooked. This modpack uses several mods that help enhance the world by adding new structures to explore, better dungeons, new biomes, unique dimensions and intricate caves...
Roguelike Dungones - Randomly generated dungeons made of prefabs, expect epic castles and ancient ruins with awesome loot!
Doomlike Dungeons - Randomly generated dungeons with different themes and support for mobs and blocks from other mods.

Build:
While incredible things can be built in Vanilla Minecraft, it can still be limitted for some and is also missing a few things that help immerse role playing.

Discord
MCDiscord - This client and server side mod connects this pack to the Nephrite General Discord channel, stay in touch!
Server Side Mods:
From area protection to advanced admin commands and permissions.
Forge Essentials - Adds major server features to Forge servers from advanced admin commands such as /warp to common member commands such as /home this mod also has a full permissions system, includes WorldEdit and offers flexible area protection similar to WorldGuard.
MyEssentials Core - A core mod used by MyTown 2 and MyPermissions, this mod also adds a wide variety of member and admin commands for servers.
MyTown 2 - Heavily based off Towny for Bukkit with similar commands, MyTown 2 brings this to Forge offering better performance. Server members can declare towns which can grow in chunks, these members may add other members they trust to their town which is protected by untrusted players.

Client Side Goodness!
