There are never enough mods to play.
GreedyCraft is a mega hybrid modpack featuring 500+ mods (shows ~540 loaded in game). All of tech, magic and adventure aspects can be found in this pack but it's focusing mainly on adventure. At the same time, the modpack aims to completely change your Minecraft gaming experience, instead of boring grinding, you enjoy the process while making your way to the final goal.
The modpack is named GreedyCraft because it's for the greedy modpack searchers that are never satisfied with the amount of features a modpack can provide!
If you have ever attempted to add all of your favorite mods together but then give up because they keep crashing and don't work together, this modpack is definitely for you. The amount of mods does not make the modpack sound any better, the main point is to make this big amount of mods to work together and form a clear route that the player can follow to gain progress and fun constantly, instead of facing a lot of mods and don't know what to do. That's what GreedyCraft aims to do - we stage the mods behind a progression system and a questline so the player can clearly know what to do. We make boring and repetitive work that is found in almost every mod optional, and simplify the non-optional ones, so the player don't immediately get boring at the moment they look at the recipes. We also aim to produce chemical reactions between mods, which means when some mods are put together they can provide unexpectedly good results, the third person mode in this modpack is an example. Additionally, we add tons of customized stuff, QoL changes and graphic improvements to make you feel completely different from other modpacks.
In short, this modpack isn't about putting a lot of mods together and make sure it can run. It's optimized, and heavily modified, adding lots of new custom content and balancing all of the mods together. We aim to make all of these mods work together and form a unique progression system, associations between mods are not just recipes, but in many different ways.
Speaking of custom content, instead of just adding recipes and custom ingredients, this modpack focuses more on customized events, progression systems, QoL changes and difficulty balancing.
This is my first modpack that I have worked on for more than 2000 hours. If you encounter problems or have suggestions make sure to let me know!

TLDR: This modpack has 500+ mods and it's stable, optimized and has loads of custom content and tweaks, you will have the best experience in Minecraft ever, just play it ;)
- A unique progression system where the game difficulty increases as you progress, loot and treasure get better at the same time. This modpack mainly makes use of Game Stages and Scaling Health to make it happen. No, you don't one-shot evey mob in late-game. Instead, mobs become stronger when you become stronger, but you also get more loot from stronger enemies.
- 3 different game modes (or "packmodes") that lead to unique playstyles. Do you want a relaxing modpack, where you can farm and build pretty houses all day? Choose Casual Mode! You are a brave adventurer and want to explore the unknown and find the treasures? Adventure Mode is for you! Do you want some hardcore challenge and insane opponents? Try Expert Mode!
- Lots of QoL changes that brings you a completely new Minecraft experience. For example, instead of playing the game in first person mode with your limbs as straight as a stick, you play the game in third person with bend animations and immersive battle feedbacks! Instead of boring strip mining, you explore gigantic underground caves (yes even bigger than in 1.17) and along the way get random encounters that give you useful loot after a rough battle!
- Lots of audio tweaks. Different music plays when you are in different situations, for example you hear calm and relaxing music in villages, encouraging music in adventures, and battle music in battles! Sound effects are also changed to be more immersive.
- Overhauled terrain generation and structures spawning. This includes: Custom ore spawning (imagine flying ores), overhauled cave generation, revamped villages, customized structures customized dungeon loot and so on! You may encounter treasure shrines that are actually a trap, loot chest defended by a set of turrets, battle towers, and much more!
- Epic boss battles, tough mobs, but not really a lot of stress on making a basic survival. If you stay at home, you are safe (just like irl right now) mobs don't try to break in and kill you, which means you can develop tech and magic without distractions. Battles are still mandatory though, but you can easily avoid unwanted battles if you don't feel like fighting.
- You play the game with shaders. Yes, 500+ mods and shaders, which sounds like will turn your computer into a bomb. But don't worry, if you have a decent gaming PC you can get the best experience ever on Minecraft. Also the modpack is designed to be 100% compatible with shaders, so don't worry about getting weird graphics. view spec recommendations for more details.
- The weapon and armor progression is mainly based off Tinker's Construct, and it has More than 230 kinds of materials for you to pick and choose from! Additionally, More than 50 kinds of materials are added specifically by the modpack, which comes with a lot of custom traits! The entire Tinker's Construct system is heavily modified and rebalanced, which makes finding the best match of materials and traits extremely important.
- Food system is overhauled. You should always keep a diverse diet because eating different kinds of food increases your max health. Eating the same kind of food will result in getting diminishing food values. The modpack contains more than 2000 kinds of food, so make sure you build a multiblock kitchen to cook more advanced foods!
- While keeping the mods' original recipes if they don't break the balance, the modpack also tweaks some complicated (but not expensive) recipes to be a little bit easier, replaces dull recipes with fun ones, and provides a lot of QoL recipes. Customized recipes are still a plenty if you compare it with most other modpacks. Additionally, some workshops can be occasionally found in villages so you can skip the boring process of crafting basic machines for a mod. (there is even a 9*9 gigantic tinker's smeltery...)
- An instructive modpack guide book, easy access to other mods' guide books and lots of tooltips and JEI descriptions to make sure you understand the game.
- More than 500 quests with actually useful rewards (The quests usually reward you with items that you will use just afterwards), some quests are different in different packmodes.
- Customized dungeon loot, mob drops and random quest rewards! These can change with progression, packmodes or even real life festivals!
- Over 140 custom items!
- It has 500+ mods, but almost all conflicts between mods are resolved and bugs are kept at a minimum. The modpack is also optimized heavily for a more smooth experience.
A modpack with 500+ mods is big, and without a doubt, require a better PC to run than other modpacks. Right now RAM is the most important part, if you don't meet the requirement for others, you might get some lag, but without enough RAM you can't even play. If you don't meet the RAM requirement, try to install more RAM on your PC so that you can play, ram sticks aren't expensive nowadays anyway.
Minimum Requirements:
- Gen-5 Core i5 or better CPU (preferably desktop or H series on laptop)
- 10GB or more physical RAM (IMPORTANT)
- If you have only 8GB you can disable shaders (see installation guide) and have a try, but if your system occupies too much memory the game might fail to start no matter what.
- If you're gonna add more RAM to your computer please don't install a 2GB stick on your 8GB just to meet this requirement, it's a stupid choice. Go above 16GB directly.
- Any dedicated GPU in recent years should suffice if you don't play the game with shaders. Integrated GPU should be playable too, but might be visibly laggy.
- Latest version of Java 8 64bit. (Higher Java versions might cause problems, for how to use OpenJ9 view the installation guide,)
- Following the installation guide is required.
-
Recommended Specs:
- Gen-8 Core i5 or better CPU (desktop or H series on laptop)
- 16GB or more physical RAM (preferably 2*8GB ddr4 because two ram sticks are faster than one)
- GTX 1060 or better GPU (1050 would be enough to run shaders, but 1060 or better is recommended if you want to play with shaders smoothly)
- Install your game on an SSD if you have one. (Preferably NVMe SSD) This makes the game load faster and cause no lag when saving chunks.
With the recommended specs You should be able to play the game at above 60 FPS, with default configuration and shaders on.
I've only ever tested on a laptop with 1050ti GPU, 16GB RAM and i5-8300H, this one runs at 40-60 FPS.
and another laptop with 2060 GPU, 16GB RAM and Ryzen 4800H. This one runs at 60-100 FPS. (All with default config and shaders on)

6.5/10
OVERALL OPINION (TLDR)
The developer did little to no playtesting, I've had to repair countless bugs with plenty being unrepairable. PLAYTEST YOUR GAME COMPLETELY THROUGH, NOT JUST FOR A DAY.
- PROS: GreedyCraft has plenty of mods, features, quests, and exploration to keep you busy for months, maybe years.
- CONS: The developer has limited knowledge or experience. Shown by the countless oversights. Some villager job titles are completely broken, some villager trading and skins are completely broken, there is no crafting recipe swap, so plenty of recipes overlap making some items impossible to craft, and not to mention structures generated with turrets owned by the developer, so you cannot break them unless you change the config.
Now for the specifics....
PROS:
- High-quality shaders and world generation
- Fun progression system and questing
- Challenging and rewarding, with multiple difficulties to choose from
- Early-game is quick, mid-game takes weeks to achieve, and late-game can take months or longer. Giving you a long time to enjoy the modpack without boredom.
- Always something new to build/achieve, so you won't be getting bored or running out of ideas.
- Multiple world types and styles of playing, giving replayability that most modpacks neglect.
- Fun enemies, exploration, and bosses.
- Advanced magic, tech, abyssal research, astral sorcery, and so many more paths to choose.
- Minecraft Comes Alive, Prefab, and other structure generation makes the world feel alive and bustling
CONS:
- Entire modpack feels slapped together in some aspects, lack of play-testing is evident.
- Some crafting recipes overlap, and there is no mod in place to fix this.
- Some items are locked behind items that do not spawn due to mod overlaps
- Any item that you can not retrieve or craft due to overlap cannot be fixed without permanent punishment. The game allows no freedom without punishment, I understand it wants to force people to avoid cheating, although, with the number of issues, it prevents the player from fixing anything.
- You cannot change configs or fix items/crafting recipes, as the game will force you into cheat mode forever. This is just plain stupid.
- Server TPS and Frames are horrible and not optimized in ANY way whatsoever. The more you play, the worse it gets.
- Other than variety and game stages, there is little to no customization from the developer of the modpack
- Online information is lacking due to popularity.
TIPS:
- Some of these are listed above.
1. Online information is limited, try researching individual mods.
2. As you play, it becomes more CPU intensive as more items are unlocked, and more of the world is discovered.
3. GreedyCraft DOES fully function. If you have any issues, I promise you can solve them. Check all the information and read the entire guide. Don't be an idiot.
4. Some items are locked behind walls until you start exploring a specific mod. Check your quests to see what to do next, and remember that you don't always HAVE to explore one route, there are options. Although sometimes you are forced to go through a mod.
5. Go read everything. Stop being lazy.
1/10 The modpack is really fun, but man the tps issues are just killing me, the game becomes unplayable after you enter hard mode even with recommended setting and ram
In reply to hammerbg_:
The change in CPU/RAM usage from start to hardmode is not by much. If you meet the recommended specs, you will run the game perfectly throughout. Minimum is not enough. If you are lagging or have TPS issues, you need to allocate more RAM.
Looks like a fun Modpack my issue is i dont play in 3rd person so the modpack is unplayable to me i like first person if theres a way to turn first person on let me know cause i would love to play this pack but if its forced 3rd than i wont be able to enjoy the pack.
In reply to loganrobert98:
you could disable the mods that add that stuff
TIP: The information and description sections are specifically there so you know these things.
I just got a "rare ticket" and thought "Well, nice! some random loot that i will probably not know what to do with it for some long time" I GOT A FUCKING "Box of Repercusion", a shulker box conteining other sulker box with the same name, repeating for 15 times
AND THE LAST ONE HAD 16 BLOCKS OF DIAMOND AND 32 OF GOLD! Is that normal or am i just so fucking lucky?
All i know is that i didnt even got a proper thinker's iron pickaxe and now i have freaking diamonds wtf
Great modpack btw
In reply to TodoMundo:
Yeah wait until you actually get into the game. Blocks of diamonds and gold are completely worthless pretty much. Youll have thousands of blocks eventually.
Do you HAVE to play with shaders...?
EDIT: nvm, i read the desc. Not a bad pack, ill take a look at it
Logged back into my world after playing with a friend and was missing a lot of skills in Reskillabe like devourer of souls, magic brew, and building master. Any fix for this?
In reply to UmbrePower:
Use the /tofe command. (together forever) this is listed in the modpack guide book. Crafted with 3 sticks in a L formation. (2x2 grid)
You know.... that book is there for a reason. I think it even spawns you with one. You should've read it....
Hey, I love this pack, excellent job with it. I'm running a server for some friends, my only issue I've run into so far is that whenever there is a message related to a player in the text chat "X joined the server, X died to Y, etc." It is replaced with java.lang.NullPointerException in red text. Any ideas how to fix this?
Installed just fine with the Curseforge app. I don't see what the fuss is all about.
I added Refined storage to the pack because I personally like it more than AE2. I'm unable planks in my Refined storage system, nor am I able to craft chests.
I was watching and I noticed that their crosshair moved differently, what mod is this?
In reply to Jintenzo:
it‘s a part of Shoulder Surfing Reloaded,you can find it in config.
How can I add a friend to the group so that they can be seen on the map ??
Can you make an update for 1.16.5. Don’t rush if you are working on it but I would like to see this mod pack on a more recent version of Minecraft please.
In reply to Davo1470:
not possible with how some mods were rewritten
It would need to be an entirely different pack.
First mod noted is TiCon being nerfed into the ground
also like 4 out of 500 mods are updated to 1.16.5
I dont see a reason to ask that question.
This pack is best played on 1.12.2, and is by far the most underrated 1.12.2 pack. Its the best pack I think ive ever played
