Description
A modern port of GreedyCraft, rebuilt for Minecraft 1.20.1.
The old world is gone.
For years, GreedyCraft stood as one of the most ambitious questlines ever bound to Minecraft 1.12.2 — a sprawling tale of avarice, divinity, and the ruin that follows both. But time corrupts all things. As the rest of the world moved on to newer versions, the old pack began to fade — its mods abandoned, its bridges broken, its story locked behind a version no one could reach.
Souls of Avarice is the answer to that decay.
It is not a remake. It is not a sequel. It is the same story, dragged through the rift into Minecraft 1.20.1 — preserved where it could be, rewritten where the corruption demanded it. The bones of GreedyCraft remain. Some flesh has changed. A few names have died, and new gods have risen to take their place.
"Some mods could not survive the crossing. Their souls fragmented; their works rebuilt from the wreckage. What you find here is the dream that endured — not the one that was."
If you played the original — welcome back. The questline still calls you home. If you never did — this is your chance to walk a story most of the modded world believed lost.
Heads up — this is experimental
Souls of Avarice is the result of a multi-year on-and-off passion project, and the pack is still very much in an experimental state. You will find rough edges, balance hiccups, and the occasional bug — that's the trade-off for being early to a project this large.
If something breaks, please don't suffer in silence:
- Open a GitHub issue at github.com/YoItSoul/Souls-of-Avarice/issues — preferred for reproducible bugs and crash reports
- Or ping me in the Discord — better for quick questions, "is this intended?", or general help
I check both channels. The faster you report, the faster it gets fixed.
If you've played a modded pack before, your machine can almost certainly run this one. There are no exotic hardware demands — just the usual modded Minecraft fundamentals.
- Minecraft 1.20.1 on Forge 47.x
- Java 17 (bundled with most modern launchers)
- A few gigabytes of free storage for the pack and your saves
For the correct RAM allocation and launch flags, run the JVM Argument Wizard — it reads your hardware and returns exactly what this pack needs on your machine.
What survived the crossing
- The full GreedyCraft questline, re-stitched for 1.20.1 — every major chapter ported with care: Main Questline, Boss Hunter, Greedy Craft, Repeatables, Challenges, The Aether, Industrial Age, and the long-awaited Epilogue.
- A custom quest system, built from scratch — the standard quest mods buckled under the size of GreedyCraft's questline. Rather than gut the story, we wrote our own quest engine specifically for this pack — designed to handle hundreds of chapters and thousands of objectives without the frame drops, save bloat, or mid-quest hangs that plague the default options. The story is intact; the performance cost is not.
- Hundreds of bosses, trials, and gated progressions — the original's punishing loop of risk, hoard, and ascend, rebuilt with modern combat and modern mods.
- Three Pack Modes — Casual, Adventure, and Expert — each with its own difficulty curve and its own questline. Casual strips back the quest pressure for a relaxed playthrough; Adventure runs the full story at a balanced pace; Expert layers on additional quests and tighter progression for players who want the long, hard road.
- Deep tech progression — Applied Energistics, Industrial-age automation, and the corrupted machinery of the old world reforged for 1.20.
- Magic, reborn — Botania, the Aether, and a tapestry of arcane systems threaded back into the questline.
- Twilight Forest & beyond — explore the dimensions the corruption could not erase.
- Shaders shipped in the box — just like the original GreedyCraft, the pack comes with Complementary Shaders preinstalled. We also include soa_radiance, a lighter "Diet Shaders" alternative for players who want the visual polish without their machine catching fire. Both are toggleable from the in-game shader menu.
- Modern QoL — JEI, EMI tooltips, waystones, modern HUDs, and sodium-grade visual options. Bring your own shader pack if you'd rather — full shader compatibility either way.
- Curated balance pass — every imported chapter was retuned. Nothing carried over for free.
What the corruption took
Not everything from 1.12.2 made the journey. Some mods never updated. Some did, but in shapes too foreign to fit the old story. Where a piece was lost, we replaced it with the closest modern equivalent — and where no equivalent existed, we rewrote the chapter to honor the original's intent. The result is a pack that feels like GreedyCraft, even where the parts are no longer the same.
What we pulled back from the rift
A handful of legacy mods didn't survive the jump on their own — so we ported them ourselves, specifically for this pack. These mods now exist on Minecraft 1.20.1 because of Souls of Avarice:
- TconEVO
- PlusTIC
- Blood Arsenal
- PotionCore
- Nyx
If you remember any of them from the old days, you're playing them here in their first proper modern home.
For the smoothest experience, follow our official install guide on soulsofavarice.com — it walks you through our recommended setup end-to-end and includes the JVM Argument Wizard to generate the correct RAM allocation and launch flags for your hardware.
If you'd rather install directly from this page, just hit the Install button — but please still run the JVM Wizard before launching to apply the right memory and flag settings.
Crashing on first launch? Re-run the JVM Wizard and apply its output exactly — wrong RAM or flags is the cause of nearly every first-launch issue.
