2 months ago I'm not a staff member, but I wanted to add my own two cents to this anyway, though I'm sure a staff member will be able to provide a more sufficient answer if they had a different reason for removing it.
That mod was a massive pain in the nether and the end, and the modpack does much better without it. They were tanky, and absolutely swarming to the point where it didn't matter what your DPS was, their numbers would just continue to increase until it lagged you out.
Not only that, but their noises were messed up. You heard all of them as if they were right beside you at all times, which was a mild annoyance in the overworld... but a massive annoyance in the nether and end.
Overall, it's a cool mod idea with good models, but it overall seemed kind of broken in some unfortunate ways. It straight up becomes unplayable if you stay in one area for too long due to the uncapped mob spawnrates it had.
Also siege armour just seemed a bit overpowered to me, honestly. It was a bit stronger than netherite but obtainable way before it, and given how much those mobs swarmed, it wasn't hard to get. The same goes for the bone sword, which is craftable pretty early, that was also the strongest weapon in the game without contest. 11 base damage and 1.6 attack speed only requiring a single netherite ingot and some bones. Not powerful enough to deal with the constant swarm of tenebrous lands enemies themselves, as they simply spawn too quickly as mentioned before, but powerful enough to trivialize every other enemy in the modpack.
As for what will take place of siege armour? Honestly, this game is perfectly playable with vanilla materials if you prioritize getting enchantments and you're careful about how you approach fights, but there's still alternative equipment available that you can find, and also trinkets that can help you as well.

Why is Tenebrous Lands bein removed from the modpack? It adds a host of mobs to the game but more importantly, Zenyr ingots and Siege armour. If I update my server, everyone that has those ingots and armour will lose it all.
Can the reason be explained? What now will take the place of Siege armour etc?
