About this Mod
Cataclysm Expeditions
Cataclysm Expeditions is an addon mod for L_Ender's Cataclysm. It removes the normal structure generation and adds a hub world where players can group up and generate the structures in a rpg style fashion.
You start in this mod by crafting a Hub Anchor which can take you to the hub.
(If you are a server owner or modpack dev and disable this recipe in the config, you have to provide your own way of getting to the hub)
In the hub you can find several portals that lead to the structures.
When you enter a portal, the structure will generate fresh in a dedicated dimension.
Once ready, other players have 30 seconds (configurable) to join your lobby before being teleported together.
