Mod Overview

Mod Overview

Farbound is a curated pack of several hundred hand-picked mods. Every one earns its place by serving the theme (vehicles, exploration, coziness) or by keeping the pack running smoothly. This page gives an overview by category; the full, versioned list is always visible on the Modrinth project page.

The Core

Mod	Role
Create	The mechanical foundation: kinetics, contraptions, logistics
Sable	Physics engine, required by Aeronautics
Create: Aeronautics	Airships and flying machines, the heart of the pack

Around Aeronautics sits a whole ecosystem of addons: Aeroworks for extra parts, automated logistics and placeable wheels, hose connectors, camera sync, propeller blur, wind sounds, and even a preflight checklist. Flying should feel like flying.

The Create Workshop

The Create addon family is the backbone of Farbound. Create: Connected, Ironworks, Deco, Framed, Compressed, Encased, and Copycats+ expand the building side; Factory Logistics, Compatible Storage, and Vibrant Vaults grow your logistics; Diesel Generators and Create: Nuclear scale your power; and Big Cannons, Radar, Numismatics, and more round out the collection. If it spins, pumps, or ticks, there is probably an addon for it here.

Vehicles Beyond the Sky

Create: Aquatic Ambitions (ships, with Wakes trailing behind them), Create: Submarine (submarines), plus Create addons for propulsion, diesel engines, radar navigation, chunk-loading contraptions, trains (with performance-threaded ticking and expanded tracks), hypertubes, elevators, and jetpacks. Late in the pack, Northstar adds rockets and planetary travel, and Create: Nuclear powers it all.

World Generation

Terralith and Tectonic shape vast, dramatic continents. Oh The Biomes We've Gone and Oh The Trees You'll Grow add new biomes and trees; Better Nether and Better End overhaul the other dimensions. Supplementaries and Amendments polish the vanilla side, and Spelunkery keeps the underground interesting. Falling trees actually fall, thanks to Tree Physics.

Structures

The YUNG's Better series rebuilds vanilla structures, while When Dungeons Arise, Dungeons & Taverns, Towns & Towers, the Epic series, the Luki's series, and Hopo's Better ruins add hand-crafted destinations across every dimension. Lootr makes all structure loot instanced per player.

Ocean Life

Hybrid Aquatic fills the seas with life, and Dungeons Arise: Seven Seas adds shipwrecks and underwater dungeons worth diving for.

Cozy: Kitchen & Farm

Farmer's Delight anchors the kitchen, with Chef's, Nether's, Ender's, More, Fruits, and Rustic Delight expanding the menu from orchard fruit to otherworldly delicacies. And because this is a Create pack at heart, the kitchen automates beautifully: Central Kitchen, Create: Food, Slice and Dice, and AutoChef's Delight turn your galley into a production line.

Cozy: Building & Atmosphere

Furniture (Handcrafted, the Macaw's series, and seats you can bolt onto contraptions), block variety (Chipped and thousands of building block variants), photography (Exposure, now with polaroids), instruments (Immersive Melodies, Pipe Organs), sleeping out (Comforts), plushies of the world's creatures, and a full ambient audio stack (Ambient Sounds, Sound Physics Remastered, Presence Footsteps, Falling Leaves, particle effects everywhere).

Creatures & Company

Friends & Foes and Flowery Mooblooms add life to the world; Creeper and Enderman Overhaul give old enemies biome-specific looks, and Enhanced Celestials brings special lunar events.

Exploration & Navigation

Antique Atlas (map as an item), Explorer's Compass, Distant Horizons (optional LOD rendering, see Performance and Settings), and Traveler's Titles.

Multiplayer

Simple Voice Chat for proximity voice on servers, FTB Teams for shared quest progress, Ping Wheel for pointing at things, and instanced loot so nobody fights over chests.

Quests & Progression

FTB Quests with quest-type extensions, plus KubeJS and CraftTweaker for recipe integration across the pack.

Performance & Polish

A full optimization stack: Sodium, Lithium, ModernFix, C2ME, FerriteCore, EntityCulling, ImmediatelyFast, and many more, plus Iris for shader support (with caveats, see Performance and Settings) and quality-of-life mods like EMI (recipe browser), Jade (block info), and improved tooltips throughout.
