BlocksMC Presents: Forged Horizons

Forged Horizons is a carefully balanced 200-mod kitchen-sink pack for players who want freedom, progression, performance, and exploration in one world.
This pack blends Create engineering, modern tech, lightweight magic, dungeon exploration, survival enhancements, and hundreds of building options into a smooth, optimized experience suited for both singleplayer and SMP servers.

Designed to feel big, but not bloated. Feature-rich, but not chaotic.
A modpack you can truly sink hundreds of hours into.

⚡ Mekanism & Thermal

For players who want mid-to-late game power progression and machine processing:

Not heavily gated, just polished.
