NEST
Nature · Everyday Life · Shelter · Togetherness
NEST is currently in Beta. The quest system is still being developed, and content, mods, and balance may change in future updates.
A place to settle. A life to grow.
Start with a shelter and a few seeds, then build a life worth coming home to. NEST combines countryside living with exploration, crafting, and a little adventure. Grow your own ingredients, prepare a meal, care for animals, and give every room a purpose—on your own or with friends.
Farming, Cooking & a Full Table
Build a productive garden with Let's Do: Farm & Charm, prepare meals with Farmer's Delight and Kaleidoscope Cookery, and make room for Bakery, Herbal Brews, Vinery, and Kaleidoscope Tavern. From everyday ingredients to baked treats, tea, and drinks, there are plenty of reasons to expand your kitchen. Spice of Life: Onion adds a reason to vary your meals.
Rivers, Wildlife & the Changing Year
Take a fishing trip with Starcatcher and Lili's Lucky Lures, discover wildlife with Naturalist, or spend time caring for farm animals and companions. Serene Seasons brings a changing year to familiar surroundings. Make the countryside part of your daily routine.
Exploration & Adventure
Leave home to discover new landscapes, investigate YUNG's expanded structures, and explore the Kaleidoscope Nether and End content. Build your own tools with Tinkers' Construct, and take on encounters with Better Combat and Combat Roll. Choose when to venture farther and when to head home with your discoveries.
A Home, a Workshop & a Railway
Furnish your rooms with Handcrafted, organize your supplies with Sophisticated Storage and Sophisticated Backpacks, and use Create to develop processing equipment, farms, and transport. Small practical improvements can grow into a workshop that supports the way you like to play.
Follow Your Own Interests
The quest book brings the pack's activities together across themed chapters, with English, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese support. Its guidance and progression are still being expanded. Build, explore, cook, collect, or simply improve the place you call home.
We Live Here.
