GCD Gameathon 26

Embark on an elevated Minecraft journey with this specially curated modpack, custom-designed for the annual GCD Technologies 24-Hour Gaming Marathon in proud support of the Northern Ireland Hospice.

This lightweight, high-performance pack offers a seamless blend of engineering, sky exploration, and immersive reality, ensuring an incredible gameplay experience while contributing to a noble cause.

Key Features

• Engineering & Aviation (Create & Create: Aeronautics): Take your engineering prowess to unprecedented heights. Build complex automated factories on the ground, and then use the groundbreaking Aeronautics expansion to assemble fully physics-driven, functional airships. Build, automate, and pilot custom flying contraptions to conquer the world.

• A Shattered World (Sky Archipelago): Say goodbye to traditional terrain. The world has been transformed into a stunning network of floating sky islands. To explore, build, and survive, you will need to master the skies, making airship construction your ultimate tool for progression.

• Immersive VR Support (Vivecraft): Experience the world from a whole new perspective. Full VR support allows select players to step directly into the cockpit of their airships in virtual reality, while desktop players can witness their aerial adventures in real-time.

• Enhanced Exploration: Enjoy a streamlined and fair multiplayer experience featuring Lootr for individualized dungeon loot, Xaero's World Map for charting the skies, Sophisticated Backpacks for portable storage, and essential quality-of-life tools like JEI and Jade.

While this pack was created to be used for the charity event, anyone can download it and explore. Enjoy the Minecraft world from a breathtaking new perspective, and build and automate in a completely new way.

Event Details: The marathon is scheduled to take place on the 22nd of May 2026.
