Strixun: Trials of the Wild – A Curated Long‑Form Progression Modpack

> ℹ️ A hardcore survival and exploration modpack with Compressy, featuring my own creations — Compressy, a mystical totem‑magic system, and Compressy, a near‑infinite storage solution — woven naturally into long‑form progression, dangerous worldgen, and a world that pushes back.

Overview

~

Pack A is a SimpleSkills with SimpleSkills, built for immersive adventuring, long‑form progression, and high replayability. It blends exploration, multiple skill systems (including SimpleSkills), and deeply tuned world generation with a tiered resource path that starts at wood and climbs through stone, copper, iron, and beyond. Every milestone feels earned, and every biome has a story to tell. ^_^

Alongside the community’s best mods, this pack includes two custom mods I built specifically to enhance this experience:

Rituals Rituals — Totem Magic for Survival, Buffs & Automation

A mystical, lore‑friendly system that adds magical totems, area buffs, automated defenses, farming tools, and multi‑totem pattern rituals. It’s powerful, but intentionally balanced — a toolset that rewards planning without trivializing survival.

Compressy Compressy — Extreme Storage Without Tech Progression

Compress any block up to 32 tiers using standard crafting recipes. Perfect for long mining trips, megabuilds, and keeping inventories clean without introducing late‑game tech shortcuts.

Both mods are designed to support the pack’s progression, not dominate it — they feel like natural extensions of the world.

The intended playstyle is SimpleSkills: disabling raids and natural health regeneration is *recommended* for the full experience (campfires are your friend), Ironman mode is enabled in SimpleSkills, and the world is designed to push back. Server usage compatible, see changelog notes for mods to exclude from server (client-only stuff). ;)
