Enigmatica 2: Expert - Extended

Enigmatica 2: Expert - Extended is unofficial continuation of Enigmatica 2: Expert

The aim of the addon is to make E2E even more interesting and challenging. Balance it out as much as possible, but leave the most interesting stuff untouched.

Here are +200 up-to-date 1.12.2 mods (about 400 total).
Despite this, the modpack only takes 30% longer to load than the original E2E. And the FPS in the game is even higher.

10+ additional major mods and +200 tweaking and Quality of Life addons. Some notable of them:

New Content		QOL		Performance
	Thaumic Augmentation		Lootr		Particle Culling
	Construct's Armory		Traveler's Backpack		Sledgehammer
	LittleTiles		Flopper		Thaumic Speedup
	Rats		Hole Filler Mod		CensoredASM
	Tinkers' Evolution		Vaultopic		Had Enough Items

🧰 No OP items. No exploits. Less cheese No item should disable bunch of other items. Work towards crafting the powerful items, or use less powerful alternatives. The Angel Ring is harder to give way to all other flight options. Сan no longer be easily cheesed through the mob stripping farm..
💡 Better balance Generators production carefully tweaked. TCon materials reworked, OP traits remapped. Mobs spawn with random TCon's weapons. Is no longer the only correct option.
🏔️ More adventuring Better caves, additional structures, more loot, reworked planets. Exploration is optional - you can finish the modpack without even going into Twilight Forest. Added a variety of new resources and unique terrain on planets and other dimensions.
📖 Clear guide Quests and recipes reveal unpopular "hidden" mechanics More Quest chapters describing "forgotten" items
🎿 Less Strict Tedious recipes and whole branches of mods can be skipped with alternate recipes. Whole modpack can be beaten in Peaceful mode
🧱 New mechanics Added new unique crafting mechanics, adding diversity to crafting ways and other essences now have their unique mechanics to turn into ore.
🌌 Skyblock Skyblock is built-in modpack. You only need to change starting dimension Skyblock is expert-expert version and can be very tedious

FAQ

• Where can I download the entire modpack with mods?

  You can't download the modpack in one archive. You can download everything except the mods, which are downloaded with the launcher.

• Where is the server pack?

  You can find the server pack on the GitHub release page under the "Assets" tab or on the CurseForge file page under "Additional Files." Note that CurseForge may delay this file for download for approximately five days after release.

• I launched E2E-E and got a crash with Exit Code 1.

  Try loading the modpack a second time.

• I loaded the modpack a second time, and it still crashes with Exit Code 1.

  Try using a non-CurseForge launcher.

• I chose to download Optifine, but the Java process started, and the window won't appear.

  It seems like your firewall or proxy settings are not allowing you to download Optifine. Remove the file config\mod-director\optifine.url.json.

• I updated Java, but it still shows me the "Outdated Java" warning.

  The CurseForge Launcher and Mojang Launcher use their built-in 8-year-old Java. To fix this, explicitly configure the path to your new javaw.exe in BOTH launchers, or use another launcher such as Prism.

• I can't see crash logs.

  Crash logs are located in the folder crash-reports/. If there are no files, check the file logs/latest.log. If there is still no information about the crash, enable debug logging and the generation of the file debug.log in your launcher.

• The game crashes on load, and the logs show something about Unexpected error and IllegalStateException: Already building!

  In any strange situation, remove VintageFix first.

• What Java arguments should I use?

  I recommend using no arguments at all.

• I installed the Essential Mod, and now I can't load the modpack.

  Remove the mod CensoredASM since those two mods are incompatible.

• My world has 2 TPS, and it lags extremely hard.

  This happens when the OTG world rapidly generates new chunks. To fix this, pre-generate your world by pressing the "O" hotkey.

• I'm getting 2 FPS, and I can't play.

  Remove the VintageFix mod.

• There are too few hostile mobs at night.

  This is a known bug, and we are still looking for a solution.

• I updated the modpack version, and now it's reporting about mod duplicates.

  The best way to update the modpack is to create a new instance and move your world/configs into the new one. You may also want to move the following files:

  • options.txt for hotkeys and Minecraft configs.
  • hei_bookmarks.ini for item bookmarks.
  • XaeroWaypoints/ and XaeroWorldMap/ for map and waypoints.
  • config/xaero* for Xaero maps configs.
  • saves/ folders for worlds.

• It's still reporting about duplicates.

  Remove .jar files without the -patched postfix.

Considerations Before Updating

Updates can bring exciting new features, but they also carry the risk of instability, such as crashes or loading issues. Despite thorough testing, unexpected problems can arise. If your current version of the modpack is stable and enjoyable, staying with it might be the best choice for uninterrupted gameplay.
