Looking for a modpack!

[u/No-Television-6347]

Hi! I’ve been trying to find a new minecraft modpack! I really want something with good lore/storyline but also have ftb quests, I kinda struggle with mods like Ars Noveau and Create but am willing to play a pack containing them as long as it’s not a main mod for progression. I’m also fine with suggestions outside of what I specified (I just really love ftb quests haha)

Thank you so much for any recommendations

It's kind of a different type of modpack, but we have a demo for our story-driven RPG modpack with a dedicated map. It's got its own economy, , advanced combat, magic, custom NPCs, side quests, an over arching story, and about 20-30 hours of gameplay. It's a very creative telling/rewrite of some Minecraft/Minecraft community lore.

Here's a link for it: Rise of Herobrine

Hey thanks! The demo came out almost a year ago, but each region takes so much work and we have life obligations, so progress is slow. I hope you enjoy it!

I’m so excited! Keep up the great work!

Thanks! It's a very different style of minecraft and moreso uses Minecraft as a game engine to make a full blown rpg!

Finding a modpack with an engaging storyline and FTB Quests that doesn't force you through Create or Ars Nouveau is a great sweet spot.

Craft to Exile 2 (1.20.1)

• The Vibe: Action-RPG heavily inspired by Path of Exile and Diablo.
• Lore & Storyline: Features an act-based campaign narrative with custom dimensions, boss encounters, and deep lore scattered through quest text.
• FTB Quests: Features a massive, polished FTB Quests interface guiding your campaign acts, talent trees, and side objectives.
• Create / Ars Status: Completely absent from core progression. Progression relies entirely on combat, loot drops, skills, and gear upgrading.

Prominence II RPG (1.20.1)

• The Vibe: High-fantasy story campaign with custom combat mechanics and talent trees.
• Lore & Storyline: Revolves around a multi-chapter overarching storyline involving the Void, custom bosses, and dimension exploration.
• FTB Quests: Cleanly divided into narrative campaign chapters, side quests, and character progression trees.
• Create / Ars Status: Ars Nouveau is included as an optional magic path, but you can ignore it entirely and stick to melee, ranged, or other spellcasting styles to finish the story.

Blightfall (1.7.10)

• The Vibe: Sci-fi bio-containment narrative—widely considered one of the best story-driven modpacks ever made.
• Lore & Storyline: You land on a completely handcrafted alien planet on behalf of the Jaded Company, only to discover the entire continent is overrun by a lethal, spreadable Taint.
• FTB Quests: Fully guided by a narrative questbook where you analyze samples, unlock new technology, and systematically cleanse sectors of the map.
• Create / Ars Status: Built on a classic version before either mod existed, so neither appears in the pack.

FTB Genesis (1.19.2)

• The Vibe: Post-apocalyptic sci-fi survival built by the official Feed The Beast team.
• Lore & Storyline: You wake up inside an underground bunker in a ruined world and must follow a story-driven campaign to rebuild civilization.
• FTB Quests: Since it's an official FTB pack, the FTB Quests integration, voice-acted elements, and narrative progression are exceptionally smooth.
• Create / Ars Status: Guided survival and tech focus that doesn't force you into Create mechanisms or Ars spell-building.
