They are basically more difficult versions of vanilla minecraft.
MF3 and EC are slightly difficult and would be good for begineers to survival type minecraft. Playing in a slightly more difficult normal world with stronger mobs, tool progression, hunger overhaul and more dangerous mining. Epic Craft (FTB) What is it about? Magic Farm 2 In order of difficulty from easy (For newbies to survival minecraft or player who just want a more difficult and advanced game) to hard (insanely difficult – ala you WILL DIE!): Modpacks with worlds that are similar to vanilla minecraftĢ. (Although you can just record your video with an app like screenflow for both.) I find that Feed the Beast has a better performance in terms of downloading modpacks but ATL allows the players to send their gameplay to twitch while FTB doesn’t.
The modpacks below will have labels indicating which launcher I got them from, FTB (Feed the Beast) or ATL (ATLauncher).
