ChaosZProject isn't abandoned :]

V2.1 was developed back in Q3 2025 and hasn't received any major updates since. But no, that doesn't mean we've stopped working on the modpack xd.

We've shifted our development entirely towards V2.2 (planned for December 2026) and the much larger V3 overhaul.

We're addressing performance issues, fixing existing flaws, rebuilding major systems and developing almost all of our mods in house. The goal is to deliver something genuinely better rather than endlessly patching our crappy older release.

Still playing V2.1???? Join our Discord and we'll gladly help you out with crashes, performance problems or anything else you might run into :]]]]

Sorry for the inconvenience, but we'd rather take our time and deliver something we're actually proud of than rush releases for downloads, money or fame (#anticorpo) :]

So what actually is ChaosZProject?

Imagine Minecraft after society has completely collapsed.

Cities are abandoned, zombies are everywhere, resources are scattered throughout the world and surviving isn't quite as simple as punching a few trees and building a dirt hut.

You can explore enormous cities, search buildings for supplies, fight infected enemies, use firearms and vehicles, and progress through a quest system designed to help you understand the world around you.

But there's another important part of the modpack.

We actually care about how well it runs.

Large cities, modded terrain, structures, entities and all the extra gameplay systems aren't exactly cheap for Minecraft to handle. Throw everything together without thinking about performance and suddenly even a decent PC can struggle.

ChaosZProject includes dedicated performance optimizations, preconfigured settings and Lost Cities: Multithreaded to help reduce some of those costs.

In normal words: more apocalypse, less staring at a frozen Minecraft window xd.

Lost Cities
Explore abandoned urban environments filled with buildings, roads, loot and countless places to search for supplies. Cities can stretch across enormous areas, turning exploration into an actual survival challenge.

Wilderness
Prefer something less urban? The Wilderness world type offers a different environment, with more focus on natural terrain, exploration and survival outside the cities.

Expanded world generation
Additional biomes, structures and environmental changes make exploration more varied than regular Minecraft.

Loot and discovery
Buildings and structures provide opportunities to search for equipment, resources and useful items. Exploring is part of how you progress, not just something you do when you're bored.

Zombies and hostile encounters
Expanded zombie threats make travelling, scavenging and defending yourself considerably more dangerous.

Firearms and equipment
Use guns and additional combat equipment to defend yourself rather than relying entirely on Minecraft's usual swords and bows.

Vehicles
Travel across the world using vehicles, making larger exploration trips and movement between locations much more practical.

Revive mechanics
Additional survival mechanics introduce more ways to handle dangerous encounters, particularly when playing with others.

Quests and progression
An extensive quest system helps explain the modpack and introduces you to its mechanics without expecting you to already know how every included mod works.

Starter equipment
Starter kits and additional loot help you get into the actual gameplay without spending the first few hours figuring out what to do.

Bliss Shaders
A good option for detailed environments, lighting and atmospheric effects.

Hysteria Shaders
Our recommendation if you want the darker apocalypse atmosphere. Fog, lighting and overall presentation fit the setting especially well.

Complementary Shaders
Another option for players who prefer a different visual style while keeping a relatively familiar Minecraft appearance.

Important compatibility notes

• Do NOT install OptiFine. It is incompatible with the included Embeddium setup. Use the provided rendering and performance mods instead.
• Lost Cities: Multithreaded is bundled. Removing it can negatively affect performance and the intended setup.
• V2.1 is an older release. Some performance problems, mod conflicts and gameplay issues remain unresolved.
• Official community multiplayer is unavailable until V3.
• VR support is planned separately. It will not be part of the main modpack.

ChaosZProject V2.2 | Planned for December 2026

V2.2 is our next major update, focused on addressing the problems with the current release and introducing improvements from our ongoing development work.

• Performance improvements and reduced unnecessary overhead.
• Fixes for existing gameplay and compatibility issues.
• Improved configurations and mod integration.
• Selected improvements from our internally developed mods.
• Further stability and general gameplay improvements.

Don't expect every planned change in V2.2 though.

There's a LOT being worked on, and some systems simply require more development and testing than we can reasonably fit into one update xd.

ChaosZProject V3 | The major overhaul

V3 is where we're taking things considerably further.

We're planning substantial changes to the modpack's foundations, including world generation, gameplay systems, performance architecture and the way our supporting mods interact.

One of the biggest changes is that we're developing almost all of our mods in house.

That gives us far more control over how everything works together, which problems we can address directly and how the modpack can evolve without constantly depending on unrelated projects.

This is obviously a huge amount of work. We're not going to pretend otherwise.

V3 isn't just supposed to be V2 with more mods. We want it to be a genuinely different and significantly better experience.
