Ex Deorum
"From the Gods"
Ex Deorum is a port of the 1.7 SkyBlock companion mod Ex Nihilo by Erasmus_Crowley. It also borrows ideas from Ex Nihilo Adscensio by unascribed, YUNoMakeGoodMap by LexManos, and Ex Compressum by BlayTheNinth, although Ex Deorum does not use code from any of those mods.
Unlike the original mod and any of its ports, Ex Deorum includes a SkyBlock world type out of the box. All of this mod's recipes exist in data packs. The default recipes only cover items from Vanilla Minecraft, and the sieve drops are generous enough that this mod should be playable without Ex Compressum.
This mod also adds a watering can item, an alternative to bone meal that should alleviate the need for mods like Tree Growing Simulator. There are six tiers, including a wooden watering can, which is given to the player at the start of the world along with a torch (both configurable).
Ex Deorum has JEI compatibility for all of its blocks, as well as a few useful KubeJS functions.
MODPACK MAKERS: You can add CUSTOM BARRELS/SIEVES/CRUCIBLES using configuration files.

Ex Deorum's Void World preset starts you out on an Oak tree with a torch and a watering can. Good luck!

Silk worms will infest any tree (even modded ones) and the leaves will lose their color as the infestation takes place.
Shown here is a cobblestone generator, a netherrack generator using Witch Water, Oak Crucibles melting leaves into water, sieves filtering through gravel, barrels composting apples and carrots into dirt, and porcelain crucibles melting stone into lava.
Using a Sculk Core on a Sculk Shrieker will allow it to spawn Wardens.
