About this Modpack

A questing modpack that has over 300 different advancement based quest to expand your world.
The ultimate goal is to survive as long as possible, so you don't have to reset once more (if you choose to play the hardcore challenge)
Challenges include {
- Required Challenge: Hordes - Raid style hordes who's frequency and composition will change depending on the downloaded difficulty of the modpack.
- Required Challenge: Blooming World - A worldborder starting at 64, 92, or 128 (You're choice)
- Optional Challenge: Screw Your Items - Having your inventory get deleted upon death, but being able to gain keep inventory one slot at a time.
- Optional Challenge: Limited Lives Hardcore - Having only 3 beginning lives, but being able to gain more.
- Speaking of the worldborder, don't linger near it for too long lest something wicked takes notice of you...
}
As of 1.7.3, all difficulties and details about them are now available from inside the questing book, no more separate packs for each difficulty! The challenges offered (both required and optional) such as Hordes and Screw Your Items are configureable through the book.

Important Notes
Some shaders are incompatible with The Aether and Alex's Caves. You might have to test that manually.
Disregard the squids with glowing that spawn for the first 5-10 days (they should die pretty quick). This is a patchwork fix to the Hordes issue
The script for CraftTweaker needs to be manually input into the Scripts folder for servers. (This can be found in the Script folder in your MC instance on the same level as your mods and configs folders)
It is recommended to seriously consider turning Fire spread off as Blazes can spawn during Hordes after day 30-40 depending on difficulty and will start forest fires... My friends and I learned the hard way.
Remove from the server any mods labeled Client Side Only or else the server will crash.
Future Plans
I plan that for every major number update of this mod (1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc) that there will be the addition of one mod with achievements and then 2 additional mods with no achievements.
Version 1.7.X will be the last major update(s) of this modpack. I will see about updating to later versions of minecraft once mods begin to update, but other than that, bug fixes, and minor additions such as fluff text, I do not plan on updating this version of the modpack. I may make alternate versions of the modpack however.
Also, I need to continue to fill in the fluff text for all of the advancements in the book. If you notice that an advancement doesn't have fluff text and you can think of something to put there, please send it in the suggestions chat in our discord. I will credit you.
Other Blooming Variants
Blooming in Confinement - This variant of Blooming is meant to keep the original intent of Blooming in servers with 4 or more people! (Or you can play it for a harder experience with less people, but this is not recommended).
Please please please, if you run into any issues or just wanna join a server running Blooming in Confinement contact me on discord! :)
Disc - moonlit_chill
Join my discord server for more info, suggestions, and to hang out! - Btw, yes the server is new - July 9th 2024, so we can make it something great! Don't be afraid to message me directly either!
Big thank you to the Lord for giving me the creativity and inspiration I needed to make this pack!
Also, the reason Easy, Medium, and Hard are out of order for 1.7 is so that if someone just clicks "download" on the front page of the pack it will auto-download the medium version.

Frequently Asked Questions
Blooming server crashes or won't start – what to do?
Most common causes: insufficient RAM or wrong forge loader. Check latest.log for "OutOfMemoryError" → increase RAM to at least 8 GB. For "Mixin" or "ClassNotFoundException" errors: modpack version and loader don't match. With Mado Hosting, loader and Minecraft version are auto-configured on modpack install – preventing most startup issues.
How much RAM does a Blooming server really need?
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 Blooming 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.
Blooming server lagging – performance tips
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. With Mado Hosting, all servers run on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores – eliminating hardware as a bottleneck.
