Whit’s End

Build a colony, master magic and technology, and conquer dangerous dimensions in a progression-driven multiplayer adventure.

Whit’s End is a Minecraft 1.21.1 NeoForge modpack built for players who want long-term progression without being confined to a single playstyle. Establish a functioning settlement, explore enormous structures, hunt powerful bosses, develop magical and industrial systems, and travel through multiple handcrafted dimensions in search of unique resources and equipment.

The pack is designed primarily for cooperative multiplayer, but it can also be played in single-player.

Adventure and Dimensions

Whit's End provides several distinct destinations rather than treating dimensions as simple mining worlds.

The Twilight Forest

Progress through enchanted forests, guarded structures, and a sequence of major bosses. Twilight Forest serves as one of the pack’s earliest major adventure paths and is integrated into broader progression.

The Aether

Explore floating islands, tame Moas, raid dungeons, defeat bosses, and recover equipment found nowhere else. Official Aether addons expand Moa equipment, dungeon-treasure recovery, and building options.

The Bumblezone

Enter a massive bee-themed dimension filled with unusual creatures, structures, resources, mechanics, and encounters centered around the Bee Queen.

The Otherside

Deeper and Darker expands the Ancient City and Warden progression into a hostile new dimension with its own biomes, enemies, structures, materials, and equipment.

Eternal Starlight

Discover a visually distinct fantasy realm with its own story progression, bosses, environments, creatures, structures, and equipment.

The Nether, End, and Overworld also contain expanded structures, encounters, and reasons to continue exploring.

Dungeons, Bosses, and Loot

Whit's End uses large structure and boss mods to create meaningful expedition targets.

When Dungeons Arise and Seven Seas place major ruins, towers, ships, fortresses, and underground complexes throughout the world. L_Ender’s Cataclysm adds difficult boss encounters, custom structures, unique enemies, and powerful equipment.

Artifacts introduces rare wearable treasures and Mimics, while Aquaculture 2 expands fishing with biome-specific catches, equipment, bait, and treasure.

Lootr gives each player personal access to generated loot containers, reducing competition over dungeon chests on multiplayer servers.

MineColonies

Players can establish, build, and manage a functioning settlement using MineColonies.

Colony access is integrated into the pack’s adventure progression rather than being immediately available at the beginning of a world. Players must first overcome an early Twilight Forest challenge and obtain the required material before crafting the primary colony-starting items.

Colonies are configured with a controlled citizen limit to reduce multiplayer performance problems while still allowing substantial settlements.

Technology

Whit's End includes several technology systems with different roles.

Modern Industrialization

Develop increasingly advanced production lines, processing chains, power systems, machines, and industrial automation.

Ender IO

Use conduits, powered machines, item and fluid handling, equipment, and compact automation systems.

Applied Energistics 2

Build scalable digital storage networks, automate crafting, manage large inventories, and eventually use Spatial IO to relocate entire physical volumes of the world.

Additional Logistics

Sophisticated Backpacks, Tom’s Simple Storage, Waystones, and related tools provide practical inventory and transportation options without replacing the primary technology progression.

Magic

Ars Nouveau provides the pack’s primary magical progression system.

Players can construct custom spells, develop magical equipment, summon helpers, perform rituals, automate resource production, and build magical infrastructure.

Magic exists alongside technology rather than replacing it. Players can specialize in either system or combine both.

Combat and Character Growth

Expanded Combat broadens weapon and equipment choices, while Cataclysm, dimension bosses, hostile structures, and scaling difficulty systems provide increasingly dangerous encounters.

Paragliders adds stamina-based gliding and exploration-driven health and stamina upgrades. Artifacts provides specialized wearable equipment with effects suited to different playstyles.

The goal is to reward preparation, equipment development, and cooperation rather than making every encounter trivial through raw statistical escalation.

Building and Quality of Life

Whit's End includes tools that make large projects and long-term play more manageable:

Chisel and Domum Ornamentum building options
Amendments improvements to vanilla blocks and interactions
Sophisticated Backpacks
Jade and Jade Addons
JEI recipe and item lookup
Nature’s Compass
Xaero’s Minimap and World Map
Crafting Tweaks
TrashSlot
Mouse Tweaks
Waystones
Corpse-based item recovery
Enchantment Descriptions
Personal dungeon containers through Lootr

Quest Progression

FTB Quests provides guidance through major systems, important mechanics, and progression milestones.

The quest book is intended to help players understand the pack without forcing every player through one rigid class or build. Colony development, dimensions, technology, magic, exploration, and combat remain interconnected but allow different players to pursue different specialties.

Quest content and balance may continue to expand as the pack develops.

Multiplayer

Whit's End is designed with cooperative servers in mind.

Different players can specialize in:

Colony construction and management
Exploration and dungeon clearing
Technology and automation
Magic and ritual systems
Resource production
Building and infrastructure
Boss hunting and combat

Personalized dungeon loot reduces competition, while large progression systems give groups multiple useful projects to pursue simultaneously.

A separate dedicated-server package will be provided for matching releases.

System Requirements

Whit's End is a large modpack and requires a 64-bit Java 21 installation.

Recommended starting allocation:

Client memory: 8 GB
Dedicated server memory: 8 GB
Storage: SSD strongly recommended

Players using high-resolution resource packs, shaders, or long view distances may require additional memory and a stronger graphics card.

Do not allocate all available system memory to Minecraft. Leave sufficient memory for the operating system and other applications.

Installation and Support

Install Whit’s End using the CurseForge application.

Client and server versions must match. Adding, removing, or independently updating mods may prevent players from connecting or may damage an existing world.

Before updating:

Back up the world.
Back up the server configuration.
Confirm that every player is using the matching release.
Review the release notes for configuration or world-generation changes.

Issues should be reported through the project’s CurseForge comments or designated issue tracker with the following information:
