Cogs & Cantrips is a steampunk fantasy RPG modpack built around the feeling of discovering ancient magic, rebuilding lost technology, and pushing deeper into a world that does not want to give up its secrets.
Rather than handing you everything at once, Cogs & Cantrips uses a custom progression system to guide you through distinct eras of play. You will begin with humble tools, scattered ruins, and dangerous wilderness, then gradually unlock deeper layers of magic, machinery, automation, spellcraft, and forbidden knowledge. Every major mod is placed into a larger progression path, so advancing feels like uncovering a living tech tree instead of simply rushing the strongest gear.
Explore a world filled with structures, dungeons, bosses, rare loot, and strange materials. Powerful mods like Create, Ars Nouveau, Iron’s Spells, Occultism, Malum, Embers Rekindled, Apotheosis, Cataclysm, and more are woven together through quests, research, and staged unlocks. Automation matters, magic matters, combat matters, and exploration is meant to feel rewarding from the first chest to the final boss.
The pack is designed for players who enjoy:
- Steampunk and arcane-fantasy progression
- RPG-style questing and world exploration
- Create-based machinery and automation
- Spellcasting, rituals, occult magic, and magical crafting
- Boss-gated advancement and meaningful unlocks
- Loot that stays exciting throughout the game
- Building towns, factories, workshops, and magical research labs
Cogs & Cantrips is not just about becoming powerful. It is about earning your place in a world of brass, blood, spellwork, and forgotten machines.
Will you master the cantrips, command the cogs, and uncover what lies beneath the age of industry?
