Note: There will be a disclaimer that FancyMenu System Interactions Addon is installed on your first open most likely. It's only there to suppliment the extra installation process of the missing mods not in modrinth (where it'll just open the mods folder of the pack, that is all).
This modpack requires some mods that are exclusively on CurseForge, if you open the game without them, there will be a menu that will assist in installing them, otherwise here are the links for download:

Minimum 4 GB, recommended 6 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 €8/month).
Can I add custom mods to Skipper's Venture 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.
