Hearth and Hollow

A cozy-adjacent kitchen-sink modpack for Minecraft 1.21.1 (NeoForge): world, QoL, tech and building mods, tuned to run well. No magic.

Explore pretty biomes with friends, build a home worth coming back to, and duck into the mining dimension when you need ore. There’s enough tech and automation to make a base hum, a guided quest book, and room for the people who just want to decorate. It’s built to run on an average laptop (including a MacBook) or a Steam Deck, with shaders, under 6 GB of RAM.

A quest book written for this pack

A guided book from your first night to the endgame. Every chapter is open from day one and nothing in the pack is locked behind a quest, so follow it or wander off. Chapters split into lines you can follow side by side, and the tech chapters cover their mods in detail, down to every seed, generator and pipe.

Rewards come in crates, from humble Kindling to grand Ember, and a repeatable Bounty Board keeps your farms and factories busy. The Allthemodium Alloy Paxel takes a piece from every tech line and forges it into a single tool. At the very end, a little of everything crushed into one singularity, plus enough power to break the universe, makes the Spark of Creation, a catalyst for creative items.
