About this Modpack

](https://bit.ly/4nTC2p4)

Due to many requests, we have published most of our modpacks on Modrinth. But keep the following in mind:

  • There are many content and optimization mods that can't be added to Modrinth (they don't allow it).
  • The quests files have been added, but we cannot add FTB Quests to the modpack in Modrinth. You can add it yourself so you can play with them.
  • We are also unable to upload serverpacks here.

If you want to play with the full experience, we strongly recommend that you download the CurseForge version.

Now you can enjoy an exciting adventure among planets, thanks to Ad Astra, the best universe exploration mod.

Of course, not everything is based on this mod...

Exploring The Universe has been designed so that everyone can play and have a great time, with the ultimate goal of exploring other worlds, although you will have just as much fun even if you don't visit them! Due to this, more than a hundred mods have been added, including animals, structures or new and impressive biomes.

Quests for Ad Astra, created by haroldxx56, have been added in version 6.0.0.

Do you need a server to play with your friends?

Are you ready for an adventure between planets? With this modpack you can visit a lot of different planets, learn about their characteristics and live an experience never seen before in Minecraft.

You will literally have to prepare and create a rocket, look for the right parts for it and the oxygen necessary to explore other fantastic planets.

Minecraft keeps loading? You enter the world but your FPS is low?

Please make sure to increase the RAM in case you need it, most problems are due to this. If you use the curseforge app, it's as easy as clicking on profile options, uncheck the option to use default memory system and move the bar to the right (at least we recommend 4GB or 4096 MB).

Is there an error with your server?

Unfortunately, when setting up a server on your own, or hiring a hosting that I have not recommended, the modpack may not work.

Please note that for this modpack, we recommend a minimum of 7GB of RAM. If you are a large number of players, you should consider increasing the amount of RAM even more.

Can I add custom mods to Exploring the Universe 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.
