Xinex's simple adventure pack

About this pack

I built this pack for me and my friends to play, and decided to share it. The goal was simple: a modern, beautiful NeoForge 1.21.1 adventure pack that feels rich without being overwhelming, with a focus on exploration, building, and good combat — all running smoothly on a mid-range PC (hopefully).

Adventure & Exploration

The world is filled with hand-crafted (dungeons, strongholds, mineshafts, jungle and desert temples, ocean monuments, end islands, witch huts, fortresses), and overhauled biomes for the Overworld, Nether, and End. You'll find new loot, custom recipes, and reworked structure loot tables to keep exploration rewarding from early to late game.

Combat & Bosses

Combat is expanded by Better Combat and L_Ender Cataclysm adding epic boss fights with unique mechanics, weapons, and rewards. Ice and Fire brings mythical creatures, while Alex's Mobs and Alex's Caves fill the world with new creatures and underground biomes to discover (also nuclear bomb).

Create & Engineering

The engineering side is built around Create and its biggest addons: Create: Aeronautics for airships and all sorts of vehicles, Create: Big Cannons for massive destruction (and eventualy start a war with your friends), plus several smaller compatibility and quality-of-life addons. Whether you want to automate, fly, or build a moving fortress, the tools are here.

Cooking & Farming

A complete cooking experience is included with Farmer's Delight and its entire ecosystem, combined with other small farming tweaks, growing food and cooking real meals becomes a side hobby worth investing in.

Visuals & Performance

The visual stack is built to look great and run well: Sodium, Better Clouds, Enhanced Celestials for special moons, Sound Physics Remastered for realistic audio, and my datapacks datapacks come pre-configured.

Quality of life

A long list of small mods make daily play smoother: Sophisticated Backpacks & Storage, Just Enough Items, Xaero's Minimap & World Map, Item / Enchantment / Effect Descriptions, Accessories and many more. Nothing feels missing.

Multiplayer

Since I built this pack specifically to play with friends, multiplayer just had to work out of the box. That's why Essential is preinstalled: one of you hosts your singleplayer world, the others jump in directly through the Essential friend list, and you're playing together within seconds. No server, no port forwarding, no setup. Just a free Essential account and you're good.

Recommended specs: 8 GB RAM allocated to the game (12 GB if you push view distance) and Java 21.

Note: this is my personal pack — I update it when I want to add or fix something, not on a fixed schedule. If you find a bug or have a suggestion, leave a comment and I'll look at it when I can.

A huge shoutout to all the modders, resource pack artists, and shader developers whose work makes this pack possible. Your creations are beautiful, and the dedication you put into keeping them alive and updated truly means a lot. Thank you.
