Welcome to your doo- er, I mean, Journey Beyond the Abyss!

This pack is a semi-hardcore modpack focused on immersion! Your journey begins when you find yourself stuck on top of a sandbar in the middle of an unknown ocean next to a seemingly bottomless trench and a strange platform.

As you reveal more of the story, you soon discover the dark secret the Abyss holds. As you progress and explore your surroundings, you will discover a plethora of islands, dungeons, underwater cities, and even ghost ships, along with a few easter eggs left by the sneaky developers.

The pack uses a progression system that consists of Game Stages, Custom NPCs, and FTB quests that force the player to keep to the story to get through the pack. Just about every recipe has been changed to ensure the pack gets progressively harder and more complex as more mods become unlocked.

During your adventure, you will come across many deadly adversaries, be in microscopic viruses that infect you or incredibly strong monsters. On top of this, the player must also worry about temperature and weight, both of which can prove to be just as deadly if left unchecked.

Unlike most hardcore modpacks, every progression point is set up like a puzzle, requiring players to stray from the quest book and find alternatives to getting resources versus the lazy and hard way. There are plenty of efficient recipes that either hide or unlock as you go through the world but so long as you look, you will find a solution.

The pack is divided into 13 chapters, each chapter containing its own unique challenges and milestones. With each chapter unlocked, they add more layers of difficulty and complexity, such as various kinds of mobs spawning naturally, to recipes that require redesigning your base.

After reading all that, you might think that this pack was made for experienced players, but the pack itself is structured for any kind of player, both new or old. So long as you can think outside the box, you can do wonders!

Notes!

ESTIMATED completion time: 800 - 2000 hours

You unlock easier recipes for otherwise grindy or hard-to-craft items, so always check JEI when you unlock a new stage!

For those who don’t understand how the crafting system works at the beginning of the game, here’s a neat gif to help you out:

If you are "spontaneously" getting "Infinite duration nausea" don't panic you either A: Got hit by an infected zombie, B: Eaten raw food, or C: Got a tropical virus from an infected passive mob (if only masks were a thing in minecraft :) ).

All effects are capped at 30 mins (normally sicknesses last about 5 - 15 mins) so you don't have to worry about needlessly losing a life over a small mistake (There is a mob grace period. Take advantage of it or alternatively live on the platform, if you must live on the island there are beds in the village so you can sleep before mobs start spawning).
