Welcome to Thaumic Industries, an expert magic modpack with 140+ functionnal mods.

A deeply refined magic-focused expert pack centered on Thaumcraft 4 and over 140 integrated mods. Experience reworked progression, balanced difficulty, and carefully tuned crafting for seasoned players. Explore the depths of Thaumaturgy alongside Botania, Blood Magic, and Witchery, with smarter mobs, powerful rituals, and a world that truly rewards mastery.

📁 Server pack is now ONLY available on Wabbanode, with easy 1-click install.
If some server files are found elsewhere, these files are NOT sourced & supported by us.
A guide for making and installing your own server-pack is present on the Discord server.

🔧 Installation instructions & game setup :

This modpack, as showed in the title, is able to run with newer versions of Java (17/21/25/26 ...)
We feature Java 25 as the main version for bug-testing, but any other version should work*.

To begin with, launch your game as usual, using a recent build of Java 8 ;
Upon launching, the game will open a white window, asking you in which Java version you want to run the game. You'll need to install Java from here, then to install wherever you want.
Once it is installed, remember where you installed it !
Go back to the white window, click the Add button in the top right corner, and go where you just installed your new Java 25. In there, enter the folder named bin, then selected javaw.exe.

Then select the maximum of RAM you want to allocate through the slider (don't go higher than 10 Gigs, it can bring issues with your garbage collector), then press Run !

Each time you'll want to run the game, you'll just have to press Run on that white window, and it shall launch. You can also add multiple Java versions/profiles through the same process.

- Additionnal info for reporting issues & bugs :

Any issue related to the modpack will be considered worth looking at if you're able to reproduce it with Java 25 installed ; on the other hand, any issue related to shaders WILL BE IGNORED.
Shaders are present as a feature, but are incompatible with lot of features from BetterFoliage and other mods. BetterFoliage can be quickly disabled in game with F8, then setting to false.

Please also note that the modpack has been mainly made & tested through CurseForge launcher.
Launching the modpack with Java 25 and another launcher than CurseForge can cause some graphical issues ; be sure that the issue is also present when you launch it with CurseForge before reporting it.
Support for other launchers (Prism, ...) may be super limited ; through we do have some Discord members that succeed in installing and launching the pack with Prism, they still suffer a small amount of graphical issues.

🌏 The World

A world where the old arts of Thaumaturgy, Alchemy, and Arcane Engineering intertwine — and the faint hum of Immersive Engineering stands as the last whisper of technology.
This is a magic-based modpack built around discovery, discipline, and danger — featuring over 140 functional mods, all carefully tuned to create a deep, interconnected experience.

🔮 The Essence of Magic

Thaumic Industries 2: Expert is designed for players who love the complexity and wonder of Thaumcraft 4 — and want to see its full potential unfold.
You’ll study Aspects, master Essentia flow, craft intricate Infusions, and command the power of the Arcane Matrix — all while exploring an ecosystem of 30+ Thaumcraft addons, each carefully balanced to expand without overwhelming.

But Thaumcraft is not alone. Botania, Blood Magic, and Witchery stand beside it, each weaving their own systems of power and ritual. From mystical flora to sacrificial rites and witch’s brews, the magical paths intertwine, encouraging experimentation and mastery across disciplines.

🔧 The Balance of Progress

While the pack focuses on the mystical, Immersive Engineering stands proudly as the only “tech” mod — offering structure, style, and a grounded balance to the world’s otherwise ethereal energy.
Crafting has been reworked across the board through MineTweaker, ModTweaker, and a suite of expert-level configuration tools, ensuring that each progression step feels deliberate, meaningful, and rewarding.
You’ll often find yourself pausing to think, plan, and adapt — and that’s exactly the point.

💀 A World that Fights Back

The world of Thaumic Industries 2 is not a forgiving one.
Mobs have been reimagined through SpecialAI, AI Improvements, IncreaseMobs, and others — creating encounters that demand awareness and preparation.
Night-time feels dangerous again, dungeons hold real threats, and the Overworld teems with cunning enemies that learn to exploit your weaknesses.
This is not a pack for the faint-hearted — it’s crafted for seasoned players seeking a serious, challenging PvE experience.

🏠 A Touch of Familiarity

Despite its depth, the pack keeps a familiar, vanilla-inspired feel.
Quality-of-life mods like Fast Leaf Decay, Dynamic Lights, Gravestones, and SimpleHarvest make everyday gameplay smoother without breaking immersion.
Performance is tuned through FoamFix, Fastcraft, BetterBoat, and Spark, ensuring that your journey remains stable — even when your experiments push the limits of reality itself.

📑 Guided by Knowledge

A fully integrated questline accompanies your adventure, leading both new and veteran Thaumaturges through the rebalanced progression and new mechanics.
Whether you’re rediscovering Thaumcraft’s foundations or mastering complex infusion matrices, the quests will nudge you forward, revealing hidden synergies and surprises.

So gather your research notes, light your crucible, and prepare your wand.
Thaumic Industries 2 - Expert isn’t just a modpack — it’s a journey through the living essence of magic, built for those who crave discovery, challenge, and mastery.
