About this Modpack

A challenging survival experience that expands upon the game

Progression Rethought changes a lot of the progression throughout the game, removing stone tools and replacing them with copper ones, making it so iron requires a blast furnace, which had its recipe changed and so on. Here are some of the changes:

Hunger is more challenging, as farming crops and breeding animals got a lot harder.
Enchanting is completely reworked.
Progression is slower, but not so much that it becomes boring.
Archeology has a lot more content.
Villages don't exist anymore, so no more bread for a lifetime.
Building received lots of love with new blocks and vertical slabs.
And a LOT more!

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 Progression Rethought 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.
