At it's core this pack is designed to make an aesthetically pleasing world, with ruins to explore and may paths to explore. You could build a quaint cabin with the many decorative blocks included, automate production lines, or even pursue higher forms of energy production from TFMG, with dire consequences to the surrounding environment.

Valkyrien Skies has been added with much testing to ensure minimal conflicts with other mods, along with Clockwork, VS:Tournament and Trackwork. Currently Tournament is added mainly for it's included balloons and ballast blocks, Clockwork will include these in the mod's ongoing overhaul. As such, Tournament may be removed when Clockwork's overhaul is completed. Additionally, Create: Aeronautics will likely replace Valkyrien Skies in this pack when it is released.

Main Mods:

  • Create and several addons
  • Valkyiren skies
  • Regions Unexplored
  • Tectonic (terrain gen)
  • The Let's Do mod series
  • Cold Sweat temperature system
  • Many performance mods
  • Complimentary shaders are enabled by default, with a profile tuned for performance

This pack will be updated regularly to better fall in line with the original vision!

NOTE: This pack is primarily for server use, and was designed for a private server. Many configurations have been changed for use with this server, you can simply delete the kubejs scripts and config files if you want to change things yourself. It is recommended to use more than the default 4gb of allocated memory.

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 Grainy Skies without conflicts?

Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (neoforge) 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.
