Nine Craft

NINE CRAFT
Tech • Magic • RPG • Cozy • Food • Power

515 mods. 43 quest chapters. 1,700+ hand-written quests. Five shader packs. One giant world where every playstyle lives side by side.

Nine Craft is a massive kitchen-sink modpack for NeoForge 1.21.1 built around one idea: you should never have to pick just one way to play.

Build a roaring Create factory in the morning. Sling fireballs with Iron’s Spellbooks at lunch. Run a cozy farm-to-table kitchen with Farmer’s Delight in the afternoon. Take on a colossal Cataclysm boss before bed, then go home to a base you furnished piece by piece. Do it all, in any order, at your own pace.

Every major system is tied together by a fully original quest book, so you always know what to try next.
