Evergreen Horizons

Evergreen Horizons

A richer kind of survival.

Follow a trail through the trees. Find a view worth building beside. Turn a
small shelter into a home, then set out to see what lies beyond the horizon.

Evergreen Horizons is a Vanilla+ survival modpack for Minecraft Java 1.21.1,
built around exploration, cozy homesteads, and immersive everyday moments.
Gathering, crafting, and building remain at the heart of your adventure, with
more landscapes to discover, more ways to make a home, and more life along
the way.

Find your place in the world

Choose a valley for your first farm, follow a river to your next discovery,
or pack supplies for a journey into another dimension.

• A world worth exploring: Terralith reshapes the Overworld, while YUNG’s
    structures, BetterNether, and BetterEnd give adventures more places to lead.
  – Life along the trail: Naturalist and Friends & Foes bring more creatures
    and encounters to your travels, with seasons changing the feel of home.
  – A homestead to grow into: cook with Farmer’s Delight, tend a vineyard
    with Vinery, care for animals, and build a kitchen worth coming back to.
  – Details that make a home: Chipped, Supplementaries, and Another Furniture
    add decorative blocks, useful details, and furniture for lived-in builds.
  – Journeys with a destination: travel by Small Ships, carry supplies in a
    Traveler’s Backpack, and connect discovered places with Waystones. XP costs
    and cooldowns keep the journey part of survival.

Make the everyday feel alive

Your workshop is part of the experience. Cinematic Interactions brings
hands-on scenes to supported workstations, making familiar tasks feel more
connected to the world around you.

Fresh Animations, player animations, gentle camera movement, ambient sounds,
detailed footsteps, sound physics, and small visual effects give forests,
caves, and quiet evenings at home more atmosphere.

For a different look, try MakeUp Ultra Fast or Complementary Reimagined.
Shaders are optional, so you can choose the presentation that suits your PC.

 Guidance whenever you want it

Wondering what to do next, or what a particular mod adds? Open the optional
FTB questbook with backtick/tilde, the key above Tab.

– 62 survival journal goals offer ideas for shelter, farming, exploration,
  workshops, dimension travel, and projects that make your world your own.
– A complete Mod Field Guide explains every installed mod: what it does,
  why it belongs in the pack, and how to try it.
– 424 entries across 34 chapters include the journal, mod and bundled
  component references, and guides to the animation resource pack and shaders.
– Every chapter is available from the start. Quest progress never locks
  recipes or world access. Item objectives keep your items, and the journal
  has no item or XP rewards to chase.

Use the book for a first-night suggestion, a long-term building project, or a
quick explanation. Your next adventure is yours to choose.

 Choose your balance of atmosphere and performance

The pack includes Sodium, Lithium, FerriteCore, and Entity Culling, alongside
tuned visual and audio settings. Three graphics presets provide starting
points for different priorities:

– Everyday: balanced settings, gentle camera motion, and MakeUp Ultra Fast.
– Performance: shorter view distances, with shaders, Fresh Animations,
  and extra camera movement disabled.
– Cinematic: Complementary Reimagined, Fresh Animations, and steady camera
  settings for scenic builds and screenshots.

Close the game before using the included preset scripts. Performance varies
with hardware, shaders, settings, and the world you build.

Begin your next world

– Edition: Minecraft Java 1.21.1
