BudCraft

BudCraft is a 1.21.1 modpack built around doing things your way. Whether you want to automate everything with Create, sling spells with Ars Nouveau, hunt dragons, or just vibe and build, there's a proper path for you. It's designed to feel like one cohesive pack rather than a pile of mods and has been tuned for long-term multiplayer.

⚙️ Create & Industry

The heart of BudCraft is Create and its ecosystem. This isn't just slapping gears on a machine; the addon roster goes deep:

Create: Crafts & Additions — bridges Create into electricity and modern power
Create: Enchantment Industry — automate your enchanting setup
Create: Central Kitchen — industrialise your food production
Create: New Age — harness electromagnetic energy late-game
Create: Diesel Generators — fuel-based power for when you need raw output
Create: Winery & Garnished — because automation should include good drinks
Bells & Whistles — expanded train parts and decoration for your rail network
Ars Technica — a direct bridge between Create and Ars Nouveau, letting magic and machines work together

Whether you're building a compact starter factory or a large-scale automated city, all the tools are here.

✨ Magic

The magic side is anchored by Ars Nouveau. Craft your own spells, build a mana network, and automate rituals. It's supported by a full set of addons:

Ars Affinity — deeper spell affinity and progression
Ars Unification — cross-mod material compatibility so your spells play nicely with everything else
Reliquified Ars Nouveau — relics and powerful magical artefacts

If you want to go full wizard, you can. If you want to use magic to power your Create contraptions, Ars Technica makes that happen too.

⚔️ Adventure & Combat

The world wants to kill you, and BudCraft gives it powerful tools to try:

Ice & Fire: Community Edition — dragons nest in the wild, sirens haunt the coasts, and death waits in places that look peaceful
L'Ender's Cataclysm — endgame bosses that will actually test you, with gear worth fighting for
When Dungeons Arise — massive dungeons and structures scattered across the world, each with loot worth the risk
Moog's Structures — hand-crafted structures that let exploration feel like discovery
Silent Gear — a deep gear crafting system that lets you build exactly the weapon or tool you want, from materials you've gathered yourself
Paladins & Companions — companion system to bring friends (or hired help) along

More Relics and Reliquified Artifacts round it out, giving you powerful items to hunt down as you progress.

🌍 A World Worth Exploring

The world generation has been completely rebuilt:

Terralith — overhauled overworld biomes that actually look stunning
BYG (Oh The Biomes You'll Go) — hundreds of extra biomes to discover
YUNG's Better Caves, Better End Island & Better Witch Huts — every vanilla structure and dimension feature replaced with something interesting
Village Taverns & Trading Floor — villages feel alive and worth stopping in
Distant Horizons — Level of Detail rendering that lets you see for hundreds of chunks, making exploration feel genuinely epic

🍖 Food & Survival

Early game has depth. Pam's HarvestCraft 2 adds many crops and recipes, Brewin' and Chewin' adds brewing, and Create's kitchen addons let you scale food production to industrial levels once established.

🤝 Multiplayer First

BudCraft is built to be played with others:

Open Parties & Claims — proper land claiming so your base stays your base
FTB Teams — shared team progression and inventory
The server is optimised with Sodium, Lithium, ImmediatelyFast, and other performance mods to stay stable even late-game.

🎮 How It Plays

Early game — you're surviving, exploring, and finding your feet. The world is big, dangerous, and rewarding to explore.

Mid game — you start building systems. Create comes online, Ars Nouveau opens up, and you begin automating the grind to focus on the fun stuff.

Late game — you're a force of nature. Automated factories, mastered magic, dragons slain, bosses beaten. Distant Horizons makes your base look stunning from the sky.
