IW SMP Season 2 | v2.1

Season 2 v2.1 is here!

This update expands several major parts of the pack, with new space exploration, Create systems, railways, technology, food, building content, and additional integrations.

Unlike the previous update, no mods were removed in v2.1.

🚀 Ad Astra

Ad Astra has been added!

Players now have access to an entirely new space exploration system with rockets, planets, space equipment, machinery, and off-world exploration.

The overworld apparently wasn't large enough.

⚙️ More Create

Because apparently we still didn't have enough Create.

v2.1 adds another major collection of Create addons and integrations:

• Create: Central Kitchen
• Create: Electro Energetics
• Create: Realistic Railways
• Create Propulsion: Simulated
• Create Railways Navigator
• Create: Sophisticated Air Tank
• Create: Track Switch Radio
• Create: Skills Tree
• Steam 'n' Rails

These additions significantly expand Create's railway, transportation, power, food automation, progression, and engineering options.

🚂 Railway Expansion

Railways receive a particularly large upgrade in v2.1.

With Steam 'n' Rails, Create: Realistic Railways, Create Railways Navigator, and Create: Track Switch Radio, players have considerably more tools for building and managing large railway networks.

If somebody builds a server-wide public transportation network, we are absolutely going to need a timetable.

⚡ Technology & Integration

Several additional technology mods and integrations have been added:

• Immersive Energistics
• Just Enough Immersive Multiblocks
• Luminax
• Common Storage Lib
• Resourceful Config

Immersive Energistics further connects the pack's Immersive Engineering and Applied Energistics ecosystems.

🐝 Modular Bees

Modular Bees has been added, expanding the pack's existing bee and resource-production options.

This gives players another avenue for resource generation and automation alongside the pack's existing farming, technology, and Productive Bees systems.

🍳 Food & Farming Expansion

The food ecosystem continues to grow with several new additions:

• Cooking for Blockheads
• Crabber's Delight
• Ender's Delight
• Engineer's Delight
• Miner's Delight+
• Ocean's Delight
• Storage Delight
• Create: Central Kitchen

These additions expand cooking, kitchens, food storage, themed meals, and integration between food production and other major systems in the pack.

Create: Central Kitchen also opens up additional automation possibilities for Farmer's Delight-style cooking using Create machinery.

At this point, building an industrialized restaurant is a completely reasonable use of server resources.

🏘️ Building & Decoration

v2.1 adds the Yuushya building ecosystem:

• Yuushya Townscape
• Yuushya Modelling
• Yuushya 16x

These additions provide even more architectural and decorative options for builders, particularly for detailed towns, cities, interiors, and urban environments.

⚔️ Cataclysm Integration

Integrated Cataclysm has been added, providing additional integration for L_Ender's Cataclysm content.

🛗 Quality of Life

OpenBlocks Elevator has been added.

Players can now create simple vertical transportation between floors without turning every base into an elaborate staircase simulator.

Easy Piglins has also been added for easier interaction and management of Piglins.

🔧 Additional Frameworks

Several supporting mods and libraries have been added for the new content introduced in v2.1:

• Lodestone
• Common Storage Lib
• Resourceful Config

These primarily provide backend functionality required by other additions in the update.

📊 Pack Changes

v2: 452 mods v2.1: 482 mods

30 mods added 0 mods removed

That's a net increase of 30 mods in a single update.

⚠️ Important

Make sure you are running IW SMP Season 2 v2.1 before connecting to the server.

With the addition of major systems such as Ad Astra, new Create addons, Steam 'n' Rails, additional food content, and new building systems, existing players will have plenty of new content to explore without losing any of the major mods introduced in v2.

Welcome to IW SMP Season 2 v2.1.

We have trains.

We have factories.

We have magic.

We have colonies.

We have bees.

And now, apparently, we're going to space.
