About this Modpack

A modpack inspired by Old versions and mods like Better Than Adventure, BT3 is an alternate universe where MC updates were partially the same, but also a bit different...

Programmer art, Classic terrain and disabled Hunger mixed with New Gear and Stamina.
Villages are abandoned, but some villagers still survive along with otherworldy sojourners
The End is disabled, with 3 New Dimensions (doesnt mean there isnt a dragon to slay, though...)
Farlanders, Mutant Mobs, Lava Monsters and more nostalgic mods.
revised Mechanics like Stamina, Cauldron Brewing and even the beloved Tinker's Construct!
New Caves, Dungeons, ComputerCraft, Overhauled Paleontology, Fishing, Butterfly collecting, and more!

For those wanting a BTA-style pack on Modrinth, this is for you!

note: when installing the pack, please run the game twice before use, to ensure the resourcepacks apply correctly.

for Server Owners

Be sure to include the "datapacks", "configs", "kubejs", and "scripts" folders in your server root BEFORE running the server, not just the mods folder (if you make this mistake, just delete the world file and start again). Also be sure to redo all these folders when updating pack versions.

The following client mods must be removed from your sever:

Spoiler

Ambient Environment, Async Particles, Bad Horse Fix, Better Advancements, Better Mods Button, Better Sodium Settings Button, Cat Jam, CIT Reforged, Continuity, CPM SVC Compat, True Darkness, Default Options, Durability Tooltip, Dynamic FPS, Embeddium, Enchantment Descriptions, Entity Model Features, Entity Model Textures, Entity Culling, Fast IP Ping, Figura, Figura SVC, Hide Experimental Warning, Immediately Fast, Just Enough Resources, Logical Zoom, Make Bubbles Pop, Music Notification, No Telemetry, No Recipe Book Reborn, Polytone, ResourcepackOverrides, Ryoamic Lights, Screenshot Viewer, Scribble, Seamless, Searchables, TConJEI, Vivecraft Compat.

Minimum 6 GB, recommended 8 GB for stable performance. per 5 players. Important: Minecraft modpacks need more RAM than vanilla – plan extra per additional player. With Mado Hosting, you can scale RAM up live at any time without data loss (from €12/month).

Can I add custom mods to Better Than Tricky Trials! without conflicts?

Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (forge) and same Minecraft version (1.20.1). Common issues: ID conflicts with recipe mods and incompatible coremod versions. The Mado dashboard mod browser only shows compatible mods and warns about known conflicts.

1) Increase RAM to 8 GB+. 2) Reduce server view-distance to 8 (server.properties). 3) Pre-generate chunks with the "Chunky" plugin. 4) Use /spark profiler to check which mods consume the most tick time.
