Support & Restrictions
The Modpack is made specifically for the IGSQ Minecraft server. Using this modpack on different servers puts you at risk of violating their rules. Please make sure to follow the rules of any server you join and make sure that all mods in this modpack are allowed on the server you are trying to play on.
Some features of this modpack require the server to be setup to support them. Public servers will
- not be able to use voice chat and will display a disconnected symbol
- emotes will not be sent to the server and as such only you will be able to see your own emotes
- Saturation and food displays will be less accurate
- Greater Render distance will be limited to keeping only previously rendered chunks by your game
The Official Minecraft Server is currently in closed Beta testing. If you would like to participate please join the Discord server and get involved!
Version Support
For the most part only the newest mc version will be actively getting new features. When a new major mc version is released the last goes into maintenance. You can expect mod update support in maintenance for about 9 months (~1 year or 4 mc versions total) after which the version will go end of life.
Only the latest minor mc version of a major mc version is supported. Alas 26.1 and 26.1.1 are not supported. Only 26.1.2. With that being said only the newest feature version the modpack for the represented version is supported.No support will be given on 1.5 or 2.3 for example.
Active Development (Supported)
- 26.1.2: 3.1.0 Current Primary Release.
Alpha versions (marked with a "a" in the version number) are expected to be only tested by technical players as issues are likely to arise.
Nothing in these releases is final and features will likely come and go. It is a testing playground.
Beta vesions (marked with a "b" in the version number) are more open to public testing. Features are more likely to be more finalised but may still be removed if required without warning.
Supported with only monthly mod updates (Maintenance)
End of Life (No new updates)
