The Pioneers

Modpacks

Brave the new worlds. Whether you be a magician, machinist, explorer, or architect, there is something new to discover!

Description

Art designed by BH|Katrina from BisectHosting! Big thanks.

Pioneers is a large modpack for anyone and everyone. All mods included have been tweaked to work well together. I recommend dedicating 8GB or more of RAM, there are a lot of mods. Lots of custom recipes and enhancements.

Includes a large amount of things to do, places to go, machines to create, magic to conjure, enemies to fight, blocks to build, and food to eat! DO ANYTHING YOU WANT

Either check the bottom of this page and set up a server with Bisect Hosting (code 'BBoldt' for a discount) or create your own server. There is a server pack for each major release, it includes the MODS, CONFIG, and KUBEJS folders. You will have to install forge first and then you can copy over the files from the server pack to the root directory!
Version of forge to use is listed in the description of each server pack. They can be found under "additional files" for each version. They contain the mods in the pack but without clientside mods. If you try to run the normal pack files on a server the pack will not load.

Modlist is abridged to just the main content mods in the pack. For the full list please check the modlist after you install.

JourneyMap, EMI, Oculus, Embeddium, etc. A plethora of mods to increase performance, enable shader support, and improve the GUI. Also a large assortment of Quality of Life mods that encompass almost everything you would need.

This pack comes with Complementary shaders pre-installed. They work pretty well in my experience however keep in mind they may cause rendering issues with certain mods.

Known issues with shaders on:

Rendering in Alex's Caves slightly broken, most noticable in Primordial Caves - but you can keep them on for that PS1 Tomb Raider look.
Aperture Innovations portals do not display properly and instead display as big squares. You can just pretend it's GLaDOS messing with you!
Fluids do not render properly in Tinkers' Smeltery, maybe just cover it up and use opaque blocks :P

Server packs can be auto installed if you set up a server on Bisect Hosting. You can also setup a server from ingame if you click the button at the top of the multiplayer menu. Feel free to list any public servers there as well!
