Genesis Architect

“What if Minecraft was more Craft than Mine?”

That was the question I had when I made this modpack. In Genesis Architect, you need nothing but stone and a pickaxe; from the pebbles beneath your feet, you can bootstrap reality within your crafting grid and through the mechanical processes added by Create.

Custom-built items have been added to help balance progression, and JEI has been added to help guide you through each and every recipe. By the end of the progression, you’ll have built an entire city of automated machines, all running with the explicit purpose of helping you achieve Divinity through Effort.

Using the hundreds of new recipes added, you’ll progress through each of the modpack’s Ages to personally invent, piece by piece, the items for which you’d normally have to go hunting, and some of which are normally inaccessible in Survival gameplay.

In the Age of Stonework, hand-craft basic resources to improve your crafting capabilities.
In the Age of Biology, craft the first renewable resources with saplings and crops, and discover the power of genetics with dyes.
In the Age of Industry, construct the first machines to process your resources into new materials, and discover multiplier loops through sequenced processes.
In the Age of Synthetic Life, construct the templates for living creatures, and populate your world.
In the Age of Magical Enhancement, craft runes and imbue them into books to enchant them and upgrade yourself even further.
In the Age of Music and Culture, take a moment to appreciate the small things, like a good music disc.
In the Age of Genesis, you no longer conform to the rules. Do whatever you want – build a city in the sky, fight a god, or drop everything, fly away, and start over. The world belongs to you.

Ex Nihilo, Per Opus, Ad Divinum.
From Nothing, through Effort, to Divinity.

To begin a world in Genesis Architect, you’ll need to decide what kind of experience you want. Regardless of which experience you choose, you will begin with a Netherite Pickaxe and a handful of Bread – the final artifacts of the Last Architect.

Curious Architect –
    Begin a fresh Minecraft adventure. Explore a procedurally generated world with many new ways to get all those items you’ve been dreaming of having one day.

True Architect –
    Begin on a SuperFlat world with this preset:

        minecraft:bedrock,5*minecraft:stone;minecraft:the_void

    This will generate an infinite stone plane for you to work with. From the pebbles beneath your feet, bootstrap reality. Good luck.

Divine Architect –
    Begin on a SuperFlat world with the Void preset. This will generate a 33x33x1 stone platform for you to work with. From the pebbles beneath your feet, bootstrap renewable resources to save yourself from falling to your death. Your first goal is a cobblestone generator. Good luck.

Notable Changes

Summoned by the smashing of stone into pebbles, the Architect’s Guide walks the player through each Age by highlighting certain recipes they may want to focus on.

Transitional items – like the Stone Pebble, Diamond Chunk, and Horn Mold – have been added with the intent of either bridging the gap between certain items, or further complicating them to maintain their normal relative value. 

New resources have been added: Plastic for production of various synthetic or decorative materials, and Enderite for production of endgame objects and armor.

New equipment sets have been added: the Flower Armor, giving players increased control over their own movement, and the Ender Armor, granting players god-like power.

The magic system has been overhauled; while the Enchanting Table remains for dedicated old-school wizards, new magical Runes have been created to allow enchanters to write their own Enchanted Books.

Hello, and thank you for downloading and playing my modpack!

It may be a bit between updates, as I’m juggling life, other projects, and playtesting this to make sure it all works the way I want it to. I do plan to continue with this project in the future; keep an eye out for new updates so you can grab them as they drop!

This is my first published modpack of any kind – as such, I would love some feedback on it! Comments, posts, videos, or direct messages – any feedback is good feedback! I’m most active on Discord – here’s my handle:

@sleepypotato1396

Reach out if you notice any glitches, have any suggestions, or if my progression banners catch fire. 

All code was written with Visual Studio Code, using KubeJS and KubeJS Create. Every mod not immediately associated with Create or KubeJS was added in for Quality of Life or additional horizontal progression.

Thank you for your continued support!

Stay sleepy… Zzz
