Modpack FAQ & Player Guide

Completely overhauls the Overworld with over 100 new biomes — volcanic mountains, scarlet crags, lush highlands, fractured savannahs, and more. Integrates naturally with vanilla biomes so everything feels cohesive.

What to expect

• Dramatically more varied landscapes when exploring
• New cave systems and surface formations
• Terrain that's genuinely exciting to explore — you'll want to keep moving
• All biomes are still vanilla-compatible (no new blocks required)

Transforms The End from a mostly empty void into a stunning, eerie landscape full of terrain variety. Towering obsidian pillars, floating island clusters, shadowy voids, and dramatic environments throughout the outer End islands.

What to expect

• A much more interesting End to explore after defeating the dragon
• Diverse outer island terrain instead of flat endstone expanses
• The End actually feels worth visiting

Dramatically expands the Nether's vertical space to a full 256 blocks of height (instead of 128). Lava seas stretch further below, ceilings tower overhead, and the whole dimension feels grander and more dangerous.

What to expect

• Much larger Nether caves and terrain
• A more intense, immersive hellscape
• Exploration feels riskier and more rewarding

Adds a large number of hand-crafted structures that generate naturally throughout all three dimensions — dungeons, ruins, shrines, towers, and points of interest beyond what vanilla offers.

• Extra loot and exploration opportunities
• Structory Towers adds tall, distinct tower landmarks

What to expect

• A configurable radius around any lit campfire provides Regeneration
• Useful for base camps, healing stations, or recovering after combat

When you die, instead of dropping items on the ground, a grave is placed at your death location. Items are safely stored until you return.

What to expect

• A grave marker appears at your death point
• Items won't despawn while in the grave
• Break or interact with the grave to retrieve your inventory

When a tamed pet (wolf, cat, etc.) dies, it can respawn rather than being permanently lost. No more heartbreaking permanent companion loss.
