HighGround (Forge) is a medieval-inspired adventure and survival modpack for Minecraft 1.20.1, bringing together expansive exploration, challenging bosses, atmospheric landscapes, and a rich selection of building and farming content. From settlements above the clouds to forgotten sanctuaries hidden in the wilderness, the world offers plenty of reasons to pack your supplies and head into the unknown.
Explore vibrant biomes from Regions Unexplored and discover settlements from Towns and Towers, Moog’s Missing Villages, and Sky Villages. Meet the musical frog villagers of Ribbits in the swamps, investigate ancient sites with Better Archeology, and brave the traps, treasures, and guardian golems of Forgotten Ruins. YUNG’s structure overhauls transform familiar temples, mineshafts, strongholds, and fortresses into larger destinations for your adventures.
Your journey continues beyond the Overworld. Incendium and Nullscape expand exploration throughout the Nether and End, while Deeper and Darker and The Undergarden open paths into mysterious dimensions with unfamiliar environments, resources, and creatures.
Danger accompanies discovery. Better Combat, Combat Roll, Simply Swords, Too Many Bows, and Better Tridents provide more ways to approach a fight, while Armor of the Ages adds distinctive historical armor to your equipment choices. Encounter hostile creatures from Born in Chaos, Mowzie’s Mobs, and Enderman Overhaul, then prepare for powerful bosses from L_Ender’s Cataclysm, Aquamirae, and Bosses of Mass Destruction. Majrusz’s Progressive Difficulty adds further challenges as you advance.
Between expeditions, create a home worth returning to. Combine the historical architecture and furnishings of Dawn of Time with Supplementaries, FramedBlocks, Dusty Decorations, and Sooty Chimneys to build anything from a secluded cottage to a bustling settlement. Grow ingredients, prepare meals, and expand your farm with Farmer’s Delight, Hearth and Harvest, and their companion add-ons.
Sophisticated Backpacks, Waystones, and Xaero’s World Map help you carry supplies and navigate your discoveries, while additional animations, environmental sounds, visual effects, and shader options enrich the atmosphere. Whether you prefer hunting bosses, uncovering ruins, tending a farm, or constructing your next great build, HighGround offers space to follow your own adventure.
