This carefully crafted modpack overhauls the way we venture in Minecraft, in a fresh and exciting way, without being overwhelming.
About this Modpack
⚔️ Explorers
This modpack was originally just built by me and a friend to spice up a survival server we wanted to create. As it expanded in size, I realized that this could become something more expansive than just a cluttered modpack—and it already felt a lot more cohesive than that. I believe this pack is a perfect, fulfilling compilation of mods for anyone who, like me, wants the game to feel a bit more adventurous, thrilling—and actually built for exploring.
🔥 Features
This modpack primarily contains mods of four different types (outside of API mods):
- Significant and game-altering (BetterEnd, BetterNether, Terralith, etc.)
- Small additive or decorative mods (Adorn, Campanion, Promenade, etc.)
- Quality of life changes (Axes Are Weapons, Omni-Hoppers, Tax Free Levels, etc.)
- Optimization (Lithium, Phosphor, Sodium, etc.)
There are also a few additional resource packs that we feel fit the aesthetic of the pack, and an optional shader pack as well.

💬 Feedback
This is the first modpack I've ever been involved in building, and it may not be perfect! If there's sufficient interest in this I would love to keep tweaking it and modifying it beyond what my niche feels is right. I do plan to update this to versions 1.19.3 and 1.19.4 as time permits it, but it depends on when all the mods in this pack get updated to those respective versions. If there's any mods that should be added or taken out, any resource packs that might fit the vibe, or if there's any other suggestions, I'd love to hear some feedback!
As well, show some love to the original mod creators <3
🤔 Plans
These are the following plans I have for the future of this modpack:
- Update v1.0 to match the current mod list
- Update to 1.19.4, will likely take a while before it can come to fruition
- Add a few more optional resource packs that match the adventurous aesthetic
- Finalize the list of additive mods, may remove some that don't make a tangible difference
- Potentially create a GitHub wiki page

Frequently Asked Questions
Explorers server crashes or won't start – what to do?
Most common causes: insufficient RAM or wrong fabric 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 Explorers 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 Explorers without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (1.19.3). 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.
Explorers 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.
