Quality of Life & Base Pack

Description
This is a base pack to start with when making a new modpack. It contains almost nothing but QoL mods and tweaks, practically no feature mods whatsoever.

I personally would suggest turning off the run & gun from tacticowl if you don’t want pawns to run and strafe around backwards while shooting like counterstrike players.

Note that HugsLib is a bit outdated and you could consider removing it and associated mods. If you're using TacticOwl then it shouldn't be needed, but since that mod is unlisted I can't include it in a collection.

Note that smarter Construction has some TPS issues.

I'd suggest grabbing PerformanceFish and Fishery from GitHub as well. Those two are developed by the Dubs guys and they can help a lot with performance if you're building a heavy modlist.
