Haunted Homestead

This modpack is designed for players who want to build a cozy, aesthetic life in a magical woodland world, all while surviving the unsettling, unseen presence lurking just beyond the tree line. It heavily focuses on rich agriculture, deep decoration, and magical exploration, all contrasted by a creeping, atmospheric dread.

Cozy Farming & Agriculture

• Expand your kitchen and farming capabilities with Farmer's Delight and the Let's Do series (Farm & Charm, Bakery, Vinery), introducing advanced cooking tools, rich agricultural mechanics, and a wide variety of artisanal ingredients to craft delicious meals and baked goods.

Enchanting Decor & Building

• Design fully furnished kitchens, living rooms, and outdoor spaces using MrCrayfish's Furniture Mod.
• Expand your building palette and architectural styling with Macaw's suite of mods for roofs, bridges, windows, and doors. (Other Macaw mods include furniture, holiday items, lights & lamps, and compatibility with Biome's O' Plenty!)
• Customize your cottagecore space down to the smallest detail with Handcrafted, Cluttered, Supplementaries, and string up some Fairy Lights to push back the dark.

Woodland Wildlife & Magic

• Dive into spellcasting with Ars Nouveau, allowing you to design unique spells, craft magical equipment, and automate your base with mystical utilities.
• Explore a massive variety of vibrant, unique biomes added by Biomes O' Plenty, featuring stunning new trees, flowers, and environments to discover across your world. (Includes compatibility with Dynamic Trees!)
• The world feels truly alive with Naturalist, Critters and Companions, Ribbits, and Friends & Foes.
• Enjoy the ambient beauty of Fireflies and Luminous Butterflies illuminating your garden at night!

Lively Communities

• Enhance player motion and everyday actions with smooth, fluid movements powered by Fresh Moves.

A Chilling Mystery

• Experience the subtle psychological horror from the mod, From the Fog, that slowly twists your peaceful cottagecore experience. You might be building a beautiful farm, but you are never truly alone in the woods.

Custom HUD & Quality-of-Life Interfaces

• Features Xaero's Minimap integration to give you a clean, non-intrusive navigation overlay right on your screen.
• Integrates JEI (Just Enough Items) for a clean, searchable interface that displays crafting recipes and item uses directly in your inventory screen.
• Utilizes Sophisticated Backpacks to provide expanded, easy-to-navigate inventory interfaces and tooltips.

Smooth & Beautiful Performance

• Runs on NeoForge 1.21.1, optimized out of the box with Sodium and Iris Shaders to ensure your world looks incredibly atmospheric, whether it's a sunny morning or a terrifying, foggy night.
• Best experienced with Complementary Shaders - Reimagined to bring out the stunning lighting, dense, eerie fog, and the cozy glow of your homestead at night.
