⛏️ Diggicraft

Create, magic and four adventure worlds. With a Diablo-style difficulty ladder bolted on top.

Hey! I wanted a pack I could play with my friends for months. Build a Create factory in the morning, get flattened by a boss in the afternoon, and still have a reason to crawl into a dungeon at night. I couldn't find that pack. So I built it. It got slightly out of hand: about 450 mods.

🎯 The idea

Everything you love about modded Minecraft is here. Tech, magic, farming, strange dimensions and way too many building blocks.

On top of that sits a ladder of five World Tiers. You decide how hard your world hits back. Harder tier, better loot. That's the whole deal.

Just want to build a cozy farm and never touch the ladder? Also fine. You can finish everything on the easiest tier. You just won't see the shiniest stuff.

🪜 The Ladder

Press CTRL + T to pick your tier. You unlock the next one by proving you're ready for it:

Some bosses only count if you fight them on a high enough tier. No cheesing Ignis on Haven. A small counter above your hotbar tells you how many kills you still need. You can always switch back down. I won't judge. Much.

💀 Bosses match the strongest hand

The big bosses look at everyone who hits them and grow to the highest tier in the fight. They never shrink back.

So your Pinnacle friend can't one-shot a boss for you as a shortcut. But you're never punished for playing together either: everyone who fought gets the credit for their ladder, as long as their own tier was high enough.

When the boss falls, a chest appears. Everyone opens their own copy and rolls their own loot at their own tier. The chest waits five minutes. Don't go AFK.

💎 Relics

Relics are the special layer. Rings, cloaks, cursed trinkets and weird little gadgets that change how you play.

Which relics can find you depends on the tier you picked. Where you look sets the ceiling. Villages are for beginners, the End is for legends. A Pinnacle player finds nothing special in a village chest. Go hunt.

On Haven, roughly one chest in twenty holds a relic. Every structure chest also gets a small, fair bonus from the mods in the pack: stuff that gets you started, never stuff that ends the game.

🔥 NG+

At the very top waits the Oathbound Relic. It brands you. Only the Branded may wear Aethersteel armour, the MekaSuit and Mekanism jetpacks, or swing Aethersteel weapons and tools. Those tools also need an Oblivion Stone, and only bosses on Pinnacle drop it.

The quest line that leads you there is still being built. The lock is finished. The key is on my to-do list. 😅

🏰 What else is in the box

• ⚙️ Create at the heart, with a pile of addons: trains, diesel engines, hypertubes, decor and more. Mekanism and Powah for the power-hungry.
• 🗡️ Four adventure pillars: L_Ender's Cataclysm, the Twilight Forest, the Aether (plus Deep Aether), and magic with Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks and Ars Nouveau.
• ✨ Apotheosis for affixes, gems and the whole tier ladder.
• 🌾 Farmer's Delight and friends, the Let's Do mods and Serene Seasons. Yes, your crops care what season it is.
• 🏘️ New places to explore: Nature's Spirit biomes, ChoiceTheorem's villages, Repurposed Structures, YUNG's, Better End, Better Nether and more.
• 🧱 Building blocks until your hard drive cries: Chipped, Macaw's, Every Compat.
• 🎒 The comfort stuff: backpacks, waystones, a minimap, voice chat, FTB Quests and Ultimine.

📖 Read the red book

You spawn with the Diggipedia, a blood-red book with a gem on the cover. It explains the ladder, the chests, the relics, the bosses and the gear rules in plain words. Lost it? Book + Emerald.

Your starter kit: a wooden sword, a shield, leather boots, a lantern, an Ars Nouveau notebook, the Diggipedia and five hamburgers. You're welcome.

⚖️ House rules

• No flying before the Elytra. Even the Create jetpack wants one first.
• No overpowered gear in chests. Chests get you going. Bosses get you further.
• Casuals are welcome. Everything is doable on Haven.

🤖 Full honesty: I built this with AI

I have a full-time job. Diggicraft happens in the evenings and on weekends. To get it done at all, I used AI (Claude) as my co-builder. It wrote a big part of the scripts, configs and loot tables, the texts in the quest book and the Diggipedia, and it hunted bugs with me through a lot of test boots.

The idea, the mod list, the rules and every balance call are mine, and I test everything in game myself. And yes, it helped with this page too. It knows how I talk by now. That's a little scary.

🚧 Still cooking

• 📜 Quests: the first chapters are in. The tier chapters and the road to NG+ come next, and the starting chapter is still in development.
• 🖥️ Server pack: coming soon. Server owners can already tune loot, gates and bosses in kubejs/config/diggicraft.json without touching any code.
• ⚖️ Balance: will change as you tell me what's too easy or too cruel.

Found a bug? Loot too stingy? A boss too mean? Leave a comment. I read everything and I'm happy about every bit of feedback.

⚙️ Good to know

• Give it 10 GB of RAM. The CurseForge app sets this for you if you let it use the recommended settings.
• The first world load takes a moment. 450 mods are unpacking their bags. Grab a snack.
• Shaders are included but switched off. Turn them on under Video Settings > Shader Packs. Your GPU, your call.

See you on Pinnacle. Or in Haven. Both are fine. ⛏️
