About this Modpack

Gaia's Riddle, The Solar Powered SMP Modpack

Gaia’s Riddle is a modpack that aims to change how you think and play in Minecraft. With dynamic environment and technology mods, Gaia’s Riddle is a moderately sized modpack where you now have to consider whether to try and control and dominate nature, or work with its already changed conditions and rhythms brought on by anthropocenic climate change. You will explore, build, and fight in a challenging world that feels alive and not always at your beck and call.

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 Gaia's Riddle 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.
