laves

War has no clean edges in Laves.

This is a NeoForge 1.21.1 modpack built around one question: what does Minecraft look like when industry, survival, and PvP all feed into each other? The answer is 70+ mods woven together into something that rewards preparation, punishes laziness, and makes every session feel like a campaign.

At its core is Create — not just the base mod, but a full ecosystem spanning Big Cannons for siege warfare, Aeronautics for armed airships, Nuclear for endgame power, Gunsmithing for firearms, and Numismatics for an in-world economy. Your factory isn’t flavor — it’s your lifeline. Without automation, you can’t sustain a war.

Combat goes deep. Epic Knights layers in proper medieval armor and weapons. Improved Mobs means the world’s hostile from day one. The Aether, Deeper and Darker, and Dawn of Time fill the map with dangerous structures worth raiding — and worth fighting other players over. Lootr makes contested dungeons fair; everybody gets their loot, nobody gets an excuse not to push in.

Distant Horizons and Iris keep it looking the part. Sodium and Lithium keep it running. JourneyMap keeps you oriented in a world that’s actively trying to kill you.

Laves isn’t a quest pack. There’s no hand-holding, no guided progression, no safe starting zone. You spawn in, you figure it out, and you either build something worth defending or you lose it to someone who did.
