Primal Hunt Ascension
- By
An RPG modpack with racial progression, dungeons, bosses, and advanced combat — featuring Ascendant, our custom races, classes, and skills mod.
Primal Hunt: Ascension
Primal Hunt: Ascension is an RPG-focused modpack by FrostFlame Studio for Minecraft 1.20.1 (Forge 47.4.10). Explore a harsher world, fight with skill-based combat, and grow your character through races, classes, professions, and abilities — all built around our custom mod, Ascendant.
Core mod — Ascendant (FrostFlame Studio)
Ascendant is the heart of the pack. It adds:
- Races & classes with distinct playstyles and progression
- Professions with specialized skills (Explorer fully implemented in this beta)
- Primal Scan — inspect mobs, items, and blocks for detailed RPG stats
- Racial progression — advance through ranks (G → S)
- Scaled combat & XP — mob difficulty and rewards scale with level; balanced for solo and co-op
Requires Ascendant from CurseForge — do not mix JAR versions between players in multiplayer.
