I assume these are just ghost written by business people who are hoping if they say something enough that it’ll become true

I recommend The Decursio Project if youre looking for an in depth industrial modpack (it does require magic, if thats a deal breaker). it has minecolonies too. Im running a private server on it right now and its the best mod pack ive ever played, though i did disable the “ages” mechanic and im not doing the quests, just using them as a reference.
