General Information

To get the most out of this modpack, I highly recommend always starting MULTIPLAYER sessions. Some of these mods and features won't work as intended if you're playing SINGLEPLAYER.

Additional Characters

Some characters have had their original skins disabled and replaced with another mod to look more vanilla, but can be re-enabled from "ContentDisabler.cfg" if you prefer those instead. Alternatively, you can disable the Content Disabler mod altogether.

Various skins of vanilla characters have also been added to this modpack.

• Spearman
• Deputy
• Enforcer
• Paladin
• Bomber
• Rocket
• Executioner: Added from Starstorm2
• Nemesis Commando: Added from Starstorm2
• Shigaraki: "Hopoo Space Shigaraki" skin is enabled. Original skins disabled.
• Sett: "DxD Balance Breaker" skin is enabled. Original skins disabled.

Additional Bosses (or Changes)

• Aurelionite: The fight has changed, as per "GoldenCoastPlus".
• Direseeker: Replaces the legendary chest in Abyssal Depths. To summon, activate the switches located around the map.
• Umbral Mythrix: For an even greater grand finale.
• Ancient Wisp: Spawns in Sky Meadow and Forgotten Haven.
• Providence: Added from GOTCE.
• Void Barnacle: Survivors of the Void DLC is required to access the portal to this super boss.

• GOTCE: Majority of items are disabled. All enemies are disabled, except for Providence and Cracked Pests.
• Content Disabler: Used to enforce vanilla-styled skins. Doesn't do anything else. (See "Additional Characters" for more info)

FAQ

1. Why are the original skins for Sett and Shigaraki disabled? The characters are cool, but I'm not too big on characters that look out of place... and, unfortunately, their OG skins look very out of place in this universe.
2. Why is this modpack here? It's easy for friends to grab without me having to provide individual mod links for them to download.
3. Why did you add mods that contain lots of items then disable most of them? This modpack was designed around the idea of an enhanced vanilla experience. Frankly, we don't want anything so overpowered that it sucks the fun right out of the game.

Known Bugs

1. Chat isn't working in CHARACTER SELECT. Not sure why this is happening, I'll figure it out. Fixed.
