About this Mod

1.20+ versions coming soon! Keep an eye out!

Introduction

Explorercraft is an adventure and exploration based mod, if the name didn't already give it away! This mod is specifically focused on creating and encouraging those aspects of Minecraft by enhancing vanilla content and adding in new varied content as you traverse your worlds!

The difference in this mod is how it will all eventually link back around too each other, all the cool, special and unique things in the mod, will require you to explore multiply biomes both high and low, find the unique thing tied to that area, that will eventually come to help you in another!

Expansions

Vanilla Tweaks: Enjoy exploration with some improved features, such as horse that will swim across rivers! Craftable saddles! Don't want to kill a 1000 drowned for that broken trident? well explore the ocean depths and maybe you'll be able to forge your own and much more!

Cymru Expansion: Explore and discover specially designed content around my homeland, Wales. You'll need to traverse deep into the slate mines and scale the highest peaks of Snowdonia in search of mystery and rare treasures!

Overview

If you're curious as to what's in the mod, well it wouldn't be an exploration based mod if I just outright told you no? But if you want a little direction where to begin in game, I've added a tiered Advancement page, with secrets and progression for the mod! Also try spawning in a bonus chest on world creation, for a chance of your first taste of the mod! However if you mussst know, here is a overly simplified list of some of the things I've added:

New World Gen (Biomes, Ores, Structures)
New Blocks (Building, Decoration, Custom and Unique Themed)
New Items (Tools, Weapons, Food, Rare Items, Custom and Unique Themed)
New Mobs

Frequently Asked Questions

Explorercraft server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong forge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 4 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.17). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Explorercraft compatible with forge?

Explorercraft officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.17, 1.16.5, 1.16.4. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Explorercraft – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 6 GB (per 5 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Explorercraft consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
