Toasted Skies

This modpack is a progression-focused modded skyblock pack built around Create, Botania, and The Aether, with custom quests, custom rewards, and a lot of work put into making early-game resource generation feel earned instead of free.

You begin on a small island with almost nothing and build your way upward through sieving, automation, magic, exploration, and dimension progression. Early survival leans into classic skyblock gameplay, but the pack quickly opens into larger systems with Create machinery, Botania mana progression, Aether exploration, and additional modded content to keep the world feeling varied and rewarding.

This pack is meant to feel like:

• a guided skyblock

• a grind that still feels rewarding

• a Create-centered progression pack

• a pack with real dimension goals beyond just the overworld

Main features

• Custom skyblock progression

• Quest-guided gameplay with structured progression and reward tables

• Create-focused automation with expanded progression into mechanical processing, logistics, and midgame machinery

• Minimal Ex Deorum resource generation for classic skyblock material progression

• Botania integration with a more complete magical progression path

• The Aether and related addons for exploration, gear, and boss progression

• Extra content from mods like Tinkers’ Construct, Farmer’s Delight, Twilight Forest, and more

• Decorative, building, and quality-of-life mods to make long-term island building more fun

Progression overview

You’ll generally move through:
basic survival → Ex Deorum resource generation → early Create automation → Botania support/progression → Nether / End / Aether exploration → larger automation and dimension goals

The pack is designed so that progression feels gradual and satisfying. Stronger tools, better automation, and dimensional rewards come from actually engaging with the systems rather than skipping straight to power.

Notes

• Built for Minecraft 1.20.1

• Designed around Forge

• Includes custom quests and custom progression adjustments

• Multiplayer should be a lot of fun if you like collaborative island building and automation
