Description
Primal Skies is a skyblock pack, based on the “PrimalCore” mod. Unlike other skyblock packs, Primal Skies will not require you to sift for or blow up items for materials. Instead, you will navigate through the early game using a customized PrimalCore way of obtaining materials, food, and resources. Mid game allows for automation of resource gathering and brings a better way to refine your resources. The end game allows you to use all of your materials to explore the planets around you.
Primal Skies was developed with three core components:
Create a pack for as many to play as possible – Primal Skies is a very lightweight pack that regardless of the level of your computer hardware you should be able to load and play.
Highlight lesser known mods – Even though you will find mods that are in almost every pack, the majority of the gameplay falls on lesser-known but really amazing mods.
Time Requirements – Most of us are not able to focus as much time on the game of Minecraft as we would like. Whether its school, work, or you name it we all have competing requirements that keep us from playing a game we all love. We have built this first part of Primal Skies for those of us that can spend a couple of hours during the week and a couple weekends to succeed in the pack.
Features…
-Early Game Progression – Alternate early game progression thanks to PrimalCore, Better With Mods, Botania, and Kitsu’s Forgecraft
-Exploration – Explore the final frontier of space with Galacticraft.
-Technology – Progress from living primitive with Foundry
-Protection – Protect yourself and create amazing weapons with Silent’s Gems
-Chemistry – Become a mad scientist and create new ores and alloys with RockHounding Mod: Chemistry
-Design & Build – Create an island fit for a king or design the most intricate island around with decoration and architectural blocks from Chisel, Blockcraftery, or Chisels & Bits.
Getting Started
An in-game guide utilizing the Better Questing mod helps to navigate through the pack. To get started:
- Obtain Flint
- Magically obtain a Spruce Sapling
- Create a Flint Work Blade
Official Server
The pack ships with the Offical Primal Skies server included.

On one hand, I really want to like this pack, but on the other hand, starting this is miserable. I've had to restart 6 times now because I can't beat the Obtain Flint quest. Knapping flint gives one Flaked Flint, at most. Knapping that gives one Flaked Flint Point, at most, both with a 9/10 success rate. Then I'm left with 3 flaked-flint points, no gravel, and no way to make a hatchet.
In reply to Tokeli:
I feel your pain as it took a lot of testing to see if this was even a viable start. The pain of early game comes from vanilla random number generators. I would recommend flaking only when necessary after you get the first couple. Work to make the flint knife first then the hatchet and finally the flint saw. The knife needs only one flaked flint point and the hatchet needs one flaked flint. If memory serves me right the saw needs two flaked points. There should be more than enough gravel on the starting island to get all of this and have some left over. We purposely added more resources of gravel, living root, and dirt to account for the random number generation and luck. Hope this helps a bit.
Hi, my name is Fabio, I'm playing this one, and I'm really enjoying it, I was thinking that you could put the Colossal Chest.
Hi. I've been playing this lovely modpack for a while now. Already going to Nether and stuff. Thanks for the amazing work!
Unfortunately, there's an issue I've encountered in my gameplay. My block breaker is broken (no pawn intended). It was working just fine before, but now it won't shift click to bring the gallagher down and break the block. Tried breaking and placing it down again AND making another block breaker AND changing the gallagher AND even restarting the game, but to no avail. Is there any past occurrence of this bug or any idea on how to fix it or maybe a workaround? Thankfully I've managed to temporally address the issue by just getting my gravel on the Nether, but maybe getting sand will be a problem (not sure if there's another crafting to it).
I'd be really grateful if you could give me some help on this. For the time being, I'll simply work my way around that as much as possible. Again, great modpack! Having lot's of fun!

Trying to solve the problem I uninstalled and reinstalled the modpack and my minecraft, but the problem remained. I also believe that the problem is with the forge version but I do not know how I can change it, since twich installs and automatically configures the modpacks.
once again people ruled out my bad english.

hello it's me again
I changed the game version to the latest version and I was able to run it.
During loading I received this message:
The game crashed whilst there was a severe problem during mod loading that has caused the game to fail
The game crashed whilst there was a severe problem during mod loading that has caused the game to fail

May I suggest updating to the latest Better Builder's Wands? The new version adds compatibility with Botania's dirt and cobble creating wands and Black Hole Talismans.
In reply to Rio:
The game always crashes it loads everything perfectly then when I go to play or create a single player world it crashes. All it says is “An unexpected issue occurred and the game has crashed. We’re sorry for the inconvenience.” It doesn’t give me any crash reports and I don’t have the best pc but I’ve played modpacks with more mods
Im having a problem with starting the pack..It crashes all the time i startup and i didnt made any alteration to the pack
In reply to linksterror:
Playing this pack for the first time(most recent version at posting), and I'm loving it!!!
I recently found a ferro stone deposit in the nether and received some magnetite ore. From my understanding of PrimalCore, it should produce iron but jei only shows magnetite dust production. And it dead ends here, doesn't seem to have a use. I'm sure I'm missing something but is there a way to make it useful?
Thank you for the great pack.

I found and have wanted to play this modpack because its new and unique and cus i saw this.
"Primal Skies is a very lightweight pack that regardless of the level of your computer hardware you should be able to load and play."
I was able to play it one time a few months ago on single player then when i heard about the server being made i waited until it was out and a few updates go by and now im not able to make a single player and logging in takes 20 tries and i still cant log in.
I know my computer is crappy but im able to run some ftb packs like continuum so im wondering why i cant play this.
