Encrypted_: A Sci-Fi Modpack

Almost any modpack for Minecraft includes technology add-ons allowing one to create different types of tools and mechanisms, extract various ores, and automate many processes. That is the focus of such mods, and you can not do without them. However, there are global mods, and there are more moderate ones featuring only part of the related content. We have already examined FTB Evolved, FTB Sky Odyssey, SevTech: Ages, and other packs containing various technology add-ons, but in this review, we are going to consider another product.

We would like to draw your attention to Encrypted_ — a sci-fi modpack that includes 306 mods at the moment. Most of them are technology add-ons like Mekanism, Create, Thermal, and many others. Together with magic mods (Blood Magic, Hexerei, Artifice, Mahou Tsukai), they constitute a full-fledged set of mods for Minecraft that will allow you to move mountains, as they say. However, not everyone understands how Encrypted_ differs from various packs by the FTB team. This article is meant to clarify this point.

Overview of the Encrypted_ Modpack

The Encrypted_ modpack is different from all the others because it is not just set in a sci-fi setting but also features an elaborate storyline that forces the player to perform different tasks literally step by step, complete story missions, read important information blocks, and just take notice of everything happening.

Background

You worked for a large company that develops software and encryption mechanisms. You managed to create an advanced and truly secure crypto product, but one day, an error appeared in the code, and your character was transferred to an alternate reality. Unfortunately, it proved to be not that easy a task to get out of there, so everything that surrounds you at the moment is not quite real. Even so, you will have to live in it and get used to everything.

You have a laptop with access to a secure protocol. Thanks to this, you can make certain adjustments to the code, thereby changing the reality around you. Such is the basic background of the Encrypted modpack, related to computers, the matrix, and modern technologies.

Mods Included in the Encrypted_ Pack

The build includes more than 300 different mods, mostly technology and fantasy, that are closely interconnected. Let us touch upon some cool options.

· Advanced Peripherals provides an extended list of peripherals for the ComputerCraft mod that allows everyone to communicate via chat and different devices, with the possibility of interacting with other mods.

· AI Improvements provides an improved version of artificial intelligence and boost performance in Minecraft.

· Angel Ring adds a unique ring that allows the main character to fly around the game world in different modes.

· XNet Gases is focused on the transportation of gas from different mods, including Mekanism, allowing you to quickly move different types of gaseous substances in the game;

· Thermal Innovation adds new types of Thermal-style tools and equipment, allowing you to expand the functionality of the basic mod.

· Tool Belt adds a beautiful, convenient, and effective tool belt, thanks to which you can quickly select the desired item with a single key.

· Universal Enchants implements new enchantments for weapons, items, armor, and other relevant in-game objects. The approach to the item enchantment and the related mechanics will change beyond recognition.

· Supplementaries adds such vanilla-style items as signs, weathervanes, sconces, lamps, and unique automation systems.

· The Mighty Architect Mod allows one to quickly generate any kind of in-game structures and design them in a couple of clicks. It is an extremely convenient and useful mod in such builds.

· Mana and Artifice is a global mod that adds magic and mana to the game and can be used together with other add-ons.

· Thermal Cultivation broadens the potential of in-game farming by adding agricultural tools.

· Powah! is a unique mod for Minecraft that allows one to process, store, and transfer energy in the game world in various ways.

· Oh The Biomes You'll Go brings new types of biomes and different dimensions to the game. Such mods make in-game travels much more pleasant and interesting, but the player will always be in danger at every step.

Does the Encrypted_ modpack add enough features to the game? It adds plenty of them! Compared to the FTB projects, this build cannot boast that many downloads, but it has recently become much more popular and has begun being periodically supplemented and updated by the developers.

Modpack's Features

Right at the spawn, after generating a new world, you will be told how to start, what the background is, how you found yourself in this world, and what to do next to survive. The player has both final and intermediate goals, as the Encrypted_ modpack features a convenient and elaborate quest system that allows everyone to learn about their task and receive a reward in the form of cryptocurrency or items specified in the code.

This pack will be interesting even for people with special knowledge, such as programmers and mathematicians, as Minecraft is suitable both for training and playing, allowing one to follow the desired approach. So each user will be able to choose a gameplay style for themselves. If you like to complete the storyline, just enjoy the plot and try to complete all the tasks. But if you are a programmer or an IT specialist, you can try to make changes to the code and earn all the important achievements related to programming and encryption.

Many tools and mods have been made use of to implement the tutorial system. On the control panel, all the mods included in the Encrypted_ modpack are divided into categories, so if you want to complete only certain tasks, you can do that without any problems. As you progress, new crafting recipes are unblocked, and different types of items, biomes, and dimensions become available, so you gradually discover a lot of new things. If you just installed these same mods in a piecemeal fashion, you would not be able to play the game in such a way, with quests and side missions.

The build includes a nice themed texture pack, so all the items, blocks, and biomes are quite elaborate and can boast a unique style and distinctive design. For fans of hi-tech, science fiction, and computers, the mod provides a great opportunity to realize any of their ideas in Minecraft, using the built-in help and quest system for a quick understanding of crafting, mechanics, and other important game features. We are looking forward to reading your feedback concerning this modpack. So if you like the build, be sure to write a comment.
