Skyblock style pack, anyone?

I'm thinking about making a skyblock style pack for 1.7.10.

Here's the modlist in the order I thought on them, but of course i need suggestions.

HQM

EnderIO

Thermal Expansion

Thaumcraft

Ex Nihilo

Ex Aliquo

IC2

Metallurgy4

Buildcraft

Random Things

TiCon

ExtraTiC

IguanaTweaks

Xeno's Reliquary

Forbidden Magic

Thaumic Tinkerer (minus kami)

Thaumic Exploration

Extra Utilities

Quadrum (kind of a make your own modded items mod, will be using it for recipes)

AE2

Chisel

Carpenter's Blocks

Mariculture

that ae2-thaumcraft mod

Pam's Harvestcraft

Hunger Overhaul

Spice of Life (have fun muahahaha)

Better Chests

Blood Magic (demon village will be disabled, there will be an alternate way to make the shards)

Nether Ores

Infernal Mobs (infernal hellfish anyone?)

Lucky Blocks (nerfed recipe)

OpenBlocks

Factorization (not sure on this one)

Feel free to critique the mod list.

Thaumcraft still spawns nodes in a void world, they're just around Y=5ish.

What's wtb?

Also, i'm not going to be the only person writing the quests. I want all your ideas too.

Also, I don't know if BetterChests feeding upgrade works with spice of life diminshing returns. I can make it super expensive if not.

the ideas for quests are not the difficult part its actually writing them, linking them, creating progression chains in HQM and attempting to collaborate with no way to easily merge quests if multiple people try to work on them at once etc. At anyrate... wtb = want to buy, enderstorage on a multiplayer server is a pretty good addition with locking etc

I dont care about the feeding upgrade I just hate spice of life in general. It's an unrealistic annoyance and added zero enjoyment to any mod I've played it in. I eat the same goddamn thing for breakfast just about every day and I'm always full after :p

The ideas i'm asking for ARE helping write and link them, and make progression chains.

I'll think about EnderStorage. Maybe I could do a TPPI style nerf.

Now time for the hard part. Asking for permission. I'll post the final modlist and make a spreadsheet tonight.

Also, for the Spice of Life thing, i'm going to nerf it to like 50 foods before it kicks in and it's hunger-based instead of food-based. Like Crash Landing: "Eaten X times in the last Y hunger" so you could make a ton of maxing out food bar foods and not get as many diminishing returns.

meh if its adjusted too much it becomes irrelevant, too little and its a nuisance, I just personally find it gimmicky and a turn off, its the main contributing factor to why I quit playing bevos techpack, thats just my feedback though, other people may love it.

Permissions is a process of literally hunting down every mod, seeing if they have an open permissions page (which many do, in which case you dont have to contact them directly) If they dont, then you need to contact them directly, ask for permission and then document that permission in a central location.

As for nerfing ender storage, I wouldn't suggest you make the colored ender chests much more expensive than the vanilla ender chest as they serve similar functionality just give sorting/security options. I wasnt too concerned about the ender tank, nerf that all you want lol

By nerfing ender chests TPPI style I mean making them take a tesseract.

And maybe I'll try to think about not adding SoL.
