What you wish to be! (SMP Version)
What if you could be anything you wanted in Minecraft? Not just a builder or a fighter, but a dual-wielding barbarian with a secret piano obsession, or a Templar knight who quietly prays to the dark lord? That is the core idea behind What you wish to be! (SMP Version), a modpack built for roleplay-focused multiplayer servers where creativity drives everything you do.
A Modpack Built for Roleplay SMPs
This pack was created for a specific Twitch community SMP, but its design philosophy applies to any group that wants a deeper roleplaying experience. The motto is simple: become what you wish to be. Whether you want to play a sneaky sniper rat-man or a mage who studies forbidden arts, the mods included here give you the tools to make that fantasy real.
The pack keeps the vanilla feel of Minecraft intact while layering on exploration, new mechanics, and quality-of-life improvements. It is not a total conversion. Instead, it enhances what is already there, making every biome, village, and dungeon feel more alive and worth investigating.
What You Will Find Inside
Classes, Magic, and Combat
Three main class paths shape your character: melee, ranger, and mage. Magic comes from Ars Nouveau and Eidolon, while Dungeons Gear adds a huge variety of weapons for close and ranged combat. You will also encounter tons of new enchantments and immersive mechanics that change how you approach fights.
World Generation and Exploration
New biomes arrive from The Endergetic Expansion, Autumnity, Environmental, Atmospheric, and Druidcraft. Rivers get a major upgrade thanks to Upstream, and cave and mineshaft generation is overhauled by Quark, YUNG's Better Caves, and YUNG's Better Mineshafts. Villages feel more immersive, and there is always something new over the next hill.
Machinery and Quality of Life
Create handles the machinery side of things, fitting the vanilla aesthetic better than most tech mods. Movement gets a boost with wall jumping, and smaller mods like Sapience, Not Enough Breeding, Double Slabs, Herd Mentality, and Consecration add depth without overwhelming you.
New Threats
You will not be safe just because you got stronger. The undead have been beefed up, and you will need to find new ways to fight them. Fire might help. The Wither and Ender Dragon also stop holding back after a few defeats, so prepare accordingly.
Multiplayer Tips and Compatibility
If you plan to play on a server, Morpheus and Simple Voice Chat make the experience far more immersive. For a harder challenge, try Hardcore Revival. Optifine runs fine with the pack, and BSL shaders are a great pairing if your machine can handle them.
When you download What you wish to be! (SMP Version), you will also get a low-spoiler guide book in your inventory that replaces the recipe book. It is not a quest book, but it nudges you in the right direction without ruining the discovery.
For players who want a smoother setup, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install for What you wish to be! (SMP Version), pulling the correct loader and dependencies automatically so you can jump straight into your roleplay world. The launcher also keeps your add-ons updated, which matters when a pack relies on so many interconnected mods.
Supported Versions and Loaders
What you wish to be! (SMP Version) for Minecraft is built for the Forge loader, which is required for most of the mods in the pack. Check the pack page for the exact Minecraft version it targets, since modpack updates sometimes shift between releases. Always match your game version to the pack version to avoid crashes.
How to Install
- Download What you wish to be! (SMP Version) from your preferred modpack source.

The learning curve is gentle, but the depth is real. You will discover new systems, enemies, and possibilities the longer you play. That sense of discovery is exactly what the pack is designed around.
Final Thoughts
What you wish to be! (SMP Version) is not for everyone. It is for players who want to roleplay, explore, and grow a character alongside friends on a shared server. If that sounds like your kind of Minecraft, this pack gives you the freedom to become exactly what you wish to be.
