Ascending Fishers 0.6.6

New Mods, Sky Lobby & Quality-of-Life Update

⚠️ Important — Back Up Before Updating!

This update adds six new mods and one required library dependency. We strongly recommend backing up your world and CurseForge profile before updating.

The update loaded and worked during our development testing, but different systems, mod configurations, and existing worlds may behave differently.

Before updating:

• Back up your existing Minecraft world.
• Back up your current CurseForge profile.
• Make sure all mods are updated together.
• Avoid removing newly added mods after using their items or blocks without making a backup first.

This update is intended to preserve existing worlds, but having a backup is the safest approach whenever major modpack changes are made.

Update Overview

Ascending Fishers 0.6.6 introduces six new mods, several quality-of-life improvements, important balance fixes, and a completely redesigned starting lobby.

This update focuses on expanding player options without adding unnecessary progression requirements or large new quest chapters.

New Mods Added

Six new mods have been added:

• OpenBlocks Elevator — Easy vertical travel between floors and factory levels.

• Night Lights — Additional decorative and functional lighting options.
