Not updated anymore. Find the new Avant 2 (for 1.9.4) modpack here: http://mods.curse.com/modpacks/minecraft/245666-avant-2-1-9-4

With the Avant modpack we want to get ourselves familiarized with all the new and updated mods for Minecraft 1.8.9. While the pack is not very lightweight, it still has room for many of the big tech and magic mods that are still in development for Minecraft 1.8.9 that we will add as soon as they become available and we had time to test them to make sure they are stable enough for us to add them to the pack.

Don't forget that many of the mods included in this pack are still considered unstable or early release so bugs are to be expected but we have a good team working on maintaining and updating the pack and will take care of it for a long time to come.

We hope you enjoy the pack and are as excited as we are to dive in to many of these new mods that are in the pack. Enjoy playing Avant!
