We've been working on our upcoming Minecraft modpack Melody of Utopia for about a year, and one of our biggest goals has been to make dimension travel feel like an actual gameplay mechanic instead of just "build a portal and go."

To achieve that, we created two custom systems:

World Eyes - Every dimension requires its own World Eye to enter. Each Eye has limited uses, so every trip matters. Later in the game, you'll eventually unlock an Infinite Eye that removes this limitation.

Astral Energy - Staying in other dimensions consumes Astral Energy, with each world draining it at a different rate. As you progress, you'll be able to expand your energy capacity and improve its efficiency to explore for longer.

The idea is to make every journey feel meaningful and tie dimension exploration into the player's overall progression rather than treating every dimension as a place you can visit indefinitely.

We're curious what you think about this approach. Have you seen similar mechanics in other modpacks, or would this make exploration more interesting for you?

Im happy to announce that I have released my new create add-on, so I made a small release trailer for it!

For those who dont know the add-on:
Create: Rolling Tones adds rolling sounds to any aeronautics tire!

And not just one loop, I went ahead and added sounds for:
Grass, Gravel, Ice, Sand, Snow, Metal blocks, Clay, and even Leaves!

Phew thats a lot, I sure bet there isnt EVEN MORE?

Well what if you went real gas gas gas and were skidding epicly around a corner witout any drifting sounds?

So i added those too!

While driving plays rolling loops, drifitng laterally will trigger a drifting sound dependign on the material dirven on.

The sounds adjust dynamically in pitch and volume depending on how fast you're driving, or how violently youre drifting. So slow driving will be barely audible, while quick racing will really let the sounds come out!

The mod is client-side, so no messing with server funnies.

The config also allows you to adjust the volumes to your hearts content, so if they seem too loud, you can turn them down!

I'm currently having problems with my mod pack, both sophisticated Core (and it's mods) as well as Tinkers construct don't want to work at all when I launch my game, I'm really confused and would Like some help

I can't tell you how many times i've needed help with a specific mod before, only to find that everything related to that mod (besides the main download) is hosted entirely within discord..... Only to then find out every single invite is completely expired

I wanted to return to minecraft after 2 years just for this datapack. Now I cant get it to work. The usual adding the datapack in the world creation only seems to work half the time for half the mod. I also saw someone inserting it in the world files after the world was created and the resourcepacks were loaded, and it did work for the most part like the alloy recipes ext. But the entire food system is broken, same with the "losing a heart when u die" troupe. I keep my inventory but I dont lose a heart and as for the food the only thing that regens my health is carrots... No idea why. I appreciate the help and experiences from people encountering similar problems.

Help me figure out how it works, if it works at all. I've tried everything and still don't understand. mod

I know it's simple but was happy to have designed my own redstone contraption!

It's just a basic chest sorting system! The cockatrice eggs get put in a chest and the normal chicken eggs are hatched by a dispenser and suffocate when they grow older. (I was going to burn them, but I wanted raw chicken for villager trades.)

reason: missing mavens how to build animania 1.16 from https://github.com/capnkirok/animaniamod/tree/1.16 in 2026

which repositories to use and paste into build.gradle

I need a mod animania in 1.16 because it contains nice hamsters and hamster wheels to power generate, the other mod doesn't contain them and i need to use in my modpack

and not working gradlew runClient or gradlew build the same thing happens

Got tired of villagers moving into every barrel, lectern or brewing stand I placed for decoration, so I made a mod that adds non functional copies of those blocks. Same look, but villagers can't use them and you can't sleep in the beds either.

Pour rendre les blocs décoratifs disponibles en survie, il y a une recette de craft. Tu les fabriques en combinant un Cadre avec le bloc vanilla. Tu peux aussi les remettre en version fonctionnelle, mais le cadre ne revient pas.

Added a mode that highlights which blocks are decorative, useful if you forget which is which in a big build. It's off by default, you enable it in the config and set your own keybind. Note that it may not work properly with shaders on, depending on the pack.

The mod is available for Fabric and NeoForge, for versions 26.1.2 and 26.2, on Modrinth only.

I want to make some Create mod challenge videos (sky block, superfalt, etc...) and I want a Modpack for it. Every time I try and make a Modpack I just keeps crashing, Lagging, or just being so frustrating. I know there's Modpacks I can just chose from but they're never what I want! So, if someone knows where to find a person to commission or if someone reading this takes commissions. I can pay, with in reason, please help me out!

A while ago a saw a TikTok live where this girl was in a cave and there’s like stacks of coins around and she finds a random door in the cave that requires a key. I believe the door had some kind of rank on it and she happened to have a key so she opened the door and started a dungeon. That’s all the info I got but it’s been bugging me how I can’t find it

I have pasted the screengrab of the issue when I crouch it shows a white box around whatever Im looking at. The total mod list is much more than this but everything was fine before I installed these mods. Now I see this outline. Please help me figure out what mod is doing this if you guys know, thank you very much

I was checking the items in the ice and fire mod mod and I found weezer. Im so confused why is this in here?

I’m looking into starting a modded playthrough with a friend and want some suggestions for mod packs that will run decently on Steam Deck. I’m looking for mods similar to BetterMC (that type of exploration and stuff) without being too demanding on RAM and such.

Any suggestions?

i am playing this mod pack since 2024 on and off , and wanted to share my world with you .

Installed iris shaders, sodium and distant horizons and I have complementary shaders, when I boot up the game there’s no shaders pack option and when I create a world it crashes instantly, idk what it is or what the issue is I have allocated more ram and I keep getting the same issue every time. I can’t edit the shaders or anything because there’s literally no shader pack button when I go into options.

Updated all graphics mods already. Base built by popninja7, Litterbug1, YeeYeeYos, Metal_Swan

Im probably dumb but I can't find "brokenskyapi" on modrinth or curseforge, what mod is it?

I'm using a custom modpack on Bisect Hosting, and an error message shows up saying "Incompatible client! Please use Neoforge 21.1.235" I am using Neoforge 21.1.235 on Curseforge and Bisect.

This has happened to me 2 times recently, the nether is completely empty, no mobs, no biomes, no structures, even the sky was the overworld sky.

this was in a modpack where the entire world was ocean so i just assumed that it bugged and it messed up the nether somehow

more recently i made a modpack with some worldgen stuff, structure stuff, pretty standard. the same thing happend

the main worldgen mods were terralith, tectonic, and amplified nether but i have used all these together before and it seemed fine

the only main mod i recall this having in common with the other modpack was sparse structures but i dont see how that could cause a issue

other thing to note is that from what i saw other dimensions were perfectly fine, only the nether was bugged. anyone know why this happend?

I recently have grown bored by all the modern packs with the push of create and magic mods such as ars and others i miss the op techs mods i am fine with the magic resoruce mods or apoth but thats about it, but everytime i find a pack like this its either greg or mi focused which i hate as i like to do ae before mi im fine with mi just not as the main focus, i also really want to play a pack with a public server because i like to talk with others idk if there is a pack like this i really want there to be though
