About this Modpack
⚙️ Overview
Machines of War is a feature-packed Forge modpack built for me and my friends — but open for anyone who enjoys large-scale automation, mechanical warfare, and engineering chaos.
It combines the creative potential of Create and Valkyrian Skies with the heavy firepower of Create: Big Cannons and Clockwork, forming a world where both invention and destruction go hand in hand.
Whether you’re assembling airships, constructing factories, or testing your newest cannon design on your friends’ base, this pack delivers a blend of technical depth and explosive fun.
🔩 What to Expect
⚔️ Armed Engineering: Build fully functional war machines, cannons, and airships powered by Create’s intricate mechanics.
⚙️ Mechanical Automation: Expand your factories, set up efficient production lines, and automate everything from resources to weapons.
🌌 A Chaotic Yet Realistic World: A balance of industrial realism and creative chaos — it’s as much about crafting machines as it is about controlling them.
💨 Optimized Performance: Includes performance mods and client improvements to keep things smooth even with large contraptions.
👥 Multiplayer Ready: Play solo or with friends — everything works in both singleplayer and server environments.
💬 Notes
This modpack was originally made for a small group of friends, but it’s been uploaded to Modrinth for convenience and anyone else who wants to try it. Expect technical creativity, loud explosions, and a lot of trial and error.
