Steaming Gears and Dark Magic

Steaming Gears and Dark Magic is a 1.21.1 NeoForge modpack that blends arcane magic, deep exploration, and industrial automation into a Minecraft experience that stays true to the game's spirit — no overwrought systems, no bloat, just a richer world to live in.

Automation & Engineering

Build machines and contraptions with Create, expand your factory with Create: Additions, Encased, Connected, and Better Create. Harness nuclear power, and take to the skies with Create Aeronautics — flying machines aren't just for show, they're your ticket to reaching places you'd never find on foot.

Magic & Spellcasting

Master the arcane through Ars Nouveau's glyph-based spell crafting, Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks' class-driven progression, and Occultism's rituals and summoning. Magic and engineering can be combined in ways that feel natural and rewarding.

Exploration

The world is full of things worth finding — Dungeons Arise, Better Villages, Interiors, and Supplementaries fill every corner with detail. Mowzie's Mobs and Impillagers make sure those corners fight back.
