About this Modpack

This is a small, goal-oriented skyblock modpack where a big focus is on Nether mob farming. That and Piglin bartering is where all your resources will come from. No sitting around sifting gravel or working away at a cobble generator. There are even ways to craft certain spawn eggs! See uses of turtle egg.

Create and Botania are your main ways to automate anything. No one-block solutions here.

There are no quests, but there is an in-game guidebook to help get you started and it has tips for if/when you feel stuck!

The grind is kept low, especially if you automate as you go.
