10 Ancient Minecraft Modpacks You Forgot About

[@PaladinRyan]

HE'S ALIVE! what other modpacks do you remember?

[@Brainstrom44]

I remember the tnt one with so many and a dinosaur one aswell!!

[@Mad_Megan]

IIRC this one was never released to the public, but I loved the Yogscast series on their custom moonquest modpack. That series was my first introduction into the world of modded minecraft and I occasionally rewatch it to this day!

[@spectrex3169]

Mysticraft and thaumcraft were underrated

[@monotonehell]

Argh back in the day (2011) I used to spend a few days trying to pull a MonoPack together. The number of conflicts I had to resolve was so high. MonoPack0 and MonoPack1 were the worst. After that the tools made it easier. By the time I did MonoPack6 it took like 10 minutes.

[@MegaRazorback]

Oh god, Crash Landing...That modpack while hard left out one key bit of information regarding creepers and that is that hot stuff outside, it used to be a creeper magnet and due to how they functioned in the pack if you didn't disable mob griefing you ended up with this huge ass hole around that hot stuff because they kept exploding on death after touching the stuff.

[@HeySlickThatsMe]

Crash Landing is a classic, i still remember Ssundee's playthrough and MinecraftUniverse's

I have a bad taste in my mouth when it comes to Voltz but that's purely my own fault. I didn't wanna go creative mode and spoil everything so when I found out what a Red matter bomb was and I didn't have enough time to get an anti matter bomb to cancel it, it was goodbye world.

I was just about to comment blood N bones because this was a pack I remember Ssundee doing and loved the anxiety it gave me with each episode as I didn’t know when the world would be deleted. Really wish there was a modern version of it but I also know if there was it wouldn’t be the same.

[@Myne1001]

I also remember him playing a 1.8 custom map that was in the spirit of Crash Landing using command blocks. It was pretty decent for the time, nothing on the levels of the datapacks we have today.

[@TheGameMage_]

I remember it because of SSundee, and then later when I got a decent laptop and even later I now have a better PC I still try to survive in that modpack. Also tried Blood and Bones (with my friend calling me a masochist for trying to keep playing in Hardcore)

[@DarkSpiritZypher]

The Yogscast's Jaffa Factory series introduced me to not just Technic/Tekkit, but Minecraft mods as a whole. I still go back and binge that series every once in a while when i'm feelin down

[@JakeP2013]

I think technic/tekkit just had the unfortunate burden of being "first to market" as the widely popular modpack of choice and grew to be way bigger than the original creators ever intended on it being. The whole "permission" drama was very frustrating at the time, I remember mods being quietly removed on occasion with new updates. Some mod creators at the time were also way more protective of their distribution, as it seemed like their adfly links were their primary method of making money. But, Technic having these issues did allow the FTB launcher to catch on fairly quickly by perfecting the modpack model and avoiding technic's mistakes.

[@michaelsasylum]

It wasn't mod authors protecting a tiny revenue stream, it was the FTB team intentionally doing it to damage Tekkit.

some of my perosnal favorites that are worth mentioning: - CrazyCraft: I grew up watching CrazyCraft and it was a blast to watch my favorite youtubers pull off insane stunts with the modpack - Attack of the B team: idk if this was popular but to me it was a classic, it's just right there on technic grew up playing that - Blightfall: funny story I was playing on an SMP and realized that Thaumcraft 6 is kinda underwhelming, then Blightfall just popped straight into my mind, the tainted landscape, story, custom progression, ores, map, now that was the good stuff, so good I finally decided after being scared or failing the modpack to try again and I actually started thriving, I personally think Blightfall was also one of the more top notch hardcore experiences to this day, highly recommend, and still playable on technic!

As someone whos been playing mc for close to 12 years, it is impossible to truly overstate how impressive these packs were on a technical level due to the state of the games coding at the time. You couldn't just drop a jar file into your mods folder, there was a process you had to go through, files you had to edit/delete entirely in order for certain mods to work, it was a genuine labor of love to get these working

Similar vein to the technic packs mentioned, but Hexxit had tons of exploration. The Sky Den modpack was also great (learned about it from Captain Sparklez's series on it) Some of these old packs still show interesting game design that has not been replicated since.

[@Mnnvint]

Hexxit was also cited by JadedCat as one of the inspirations for Magic Farm/Agrarian Skies. Hexxit was the first major pack to include the Tinker's modpack where you build a smeltery and cast custom tools, and was probably important in popularizing it.

Mods that I would of considered would probably be stuff like Agrarian Skies, Blightfall, Volts, Aether, and Hexit. In the end though we all played or watched different mods during those early days of minecraft so we'll all feel like something was left out just don't forget to have fun when playing those nostalgic mods again if you do, and if you don't well those nostalgic memories will forever be with you. Kind of like how when I think back on Ant farm survival maps, the old survival island maps, the original skyblock map, and so many other maps I will probably never play again but the fun from just remembering those times is something nobody can ever take away from us.

(For example, the whole basis of it uses applied energistics to store physical space. How often have you used that mechanic?) There were also loads of quests, trophies, and even a metric load of secrets to find. (One of my favorite being in ME^4 before the modpack really begins, in an area you’re not allowed to return to, you can collect blocks and build out to other platforms to get a bunch of cool unique loot!) Also, the fourth installment came out around the same time as regrowth and crash landing and had at least a few series covering it (Direwolf and yogscast iirc). To me at least, these three were essentially a perfect trio of early modpacks.

[@trevorking2131]

Ars Magica was a really good mod in a lot of packs. Really miss seeing that one.

[@Unity116]

One mod everyone seems to have forgotten about is adventure craft... Haven't heard about it in so long

[@iamNHT]

I never forgot technic, i always have wanted to play it as a child but didnt have minecraft bought, and after getting it, i still haven't been able to find it on curse forge

[@Brainstrom44]

I knew about the bunker one a long time ago also love your content

[@samuelseiichiinoue7791]

Crash Landing is just impossible to forget to me, so many hours grinding and grinding was so satisfying. Many others like Forever Stranded, RogueLite Adventures and Dimension Zero also was in this list. Latelly I'm playing Craft to Exile 2, its pretty complex and have so many things to learn that I'm having a blast with its RPG system modded around path of exile.

[@KreativeKng]

Blightfall is a very underrated 1.7.10 modpack

[@koneeche]

AW MAN. I feel old. I remember ALL of these! I also remember Voltz (another iconic one from the Yogscast), FTB Unleashed (the "newest" large modpack for its time), and some others.

[@NSluiter]

Who here played Agrarian Skies?

[@alb7466]

loooooved agrarian skies, gave me my love for skyblock

[@sevenember3332]

Played it but never properly progressed in it. I wasn’t good with decent systems engineering and I didn’t have the patience to do a lot of the grindy parts of the game right

[@TheNeoCubest]

thank you so much for making this video, seriously. so many memories

[@gh0stdoggJ]

return of the sigma

[@FirefoxEzo]

i still play technic from time to time, its how my best friend and i meet. FTB was fun but i never really got far down to my poor laptop at the time would crash constantly

[@teroristi6107]

Stoneblock is love Stoneblock is life.

[@enzoandrade219]

Man, this makes me feel old. Still, I remember replaying crash landing about 2 years ago. Its such an amazing experience

[@Azamyth]

there is*was* a modpack that seems similar to regrowth it starts you off in a biodome on an alien planet and it has you terraforming. its called Blightfall.

[@an2thea514]

I believe Blightfall even predates Regrowth. But Blightfall's worlds aren't dried out, they are corrupted.

[@valeaventura6750]

Thank you so much! I was looking for that modpack for so long.

[@mangomelody5044]

I used to watch Meatwagon22 (and Y.A.W.) a lot when growing up and seeing it immediately show up made me happy with this video alone. Funnily enough I didn't watch a lot of Yogscast growing up except their showcases and songs. But recently I've loved their TTT series and been watching it ever since. Now on the Modpack side I've honestly loved Technic, Tekkit (probably from nostalgia) and Sevtech the most. I found Sevtech a few years ago was confused didn't like it, but then a sever i'm in started playing it and i got hooked after playing it for a few hours as I've always needed a since of guide/goal personally through like quests. Now I think its overall my favorite for how different it feels from a lot of Modpacks.

[@geody9873]

Dude, I remember when they were still called “dumb and dumber”

[@tristinacsgo]

I miss hexit

[@chainz983]

i remember Crash Landing. I never played it, but i remember Direwolf and Pahimar playing it co-op

[@Chaxlotl]

dude ive remember these modpacks forever how could i ever forget classics like crashlanding

[@defectedheart2680]

You’re making me feel old I remember most of these. Blood and Bones and Mad Pack are some nostalgic examples as well.

[@ROMAGNUM45]

Blightfall is like a sci-fi Regrowth with a more fleshed-out story and better quest book. I highly recommend it.

[@mikyle7100]

A updated crash landing would make me so happy

[@josim9244]

I’ve never forgotten about that thumbnail, also technic made many mod packs possible, hell I still use it

[@tjtyjymj]

Regrowth is a modpack I go back to anually to just play, absolutely loved the concept!

[@iheartblock3792]

Tekkit, Hexxit, and Crash Landing were my first experience with mods nearly a decade ago, they honestly defined both my childhood and the games I love now, including Minecraft! I wouldn’t love Rebirth of the Night or any Create pack without first falling in love with Crash Landing.

[@cherrypepsi2815]

Technic being considered "old" is insane. It doesn't feel like that long ago that I was playing Tekkit. Jesus.

[@NickHammer99]

I remember getting a cracked Technic launcher back in like 2012-2013 something like that. I couldn't buy Minecraft at the time as I was 12. So many good memories

[@StuffandThings_]

Man, Tekkit, Crash Landing, FTB, those bring back memories. I fondly remember the Mindcrack series on FTB in particular, and a couple of playthroughs of Crash Landing...

[@joemana8142]

Another modpack not mentioned that I played so much as a kid was Hexxit, the exploration of that modpack was so much fun, I always remember kid me being terrified of the Limbo dimension.

[@Vixter4]

Agrarian Skies. Absolutely legendary modpack for the time. This was the pack that literally had the questing book developed for it, and revolutionized what a skyblock challenge map is. You had the crook for harvesting saplings to make dirt, and then sifting the dirt for pebbles for cobblestone and such. It predated everything using the questing book, including crash landing.

[@ElectricSparx]

Hack Slash Mine! Oh, that name gives me so much nostalgia... It wasn't a modpack, though, it was actually its own mod. I've no idea why it was put on the TechnicLauncher as a modpack back in the day, but that's how I discovered it. I always wished it got updated, it seemed like it would be really fun in multiplayer.

[@SirTravis-vn6yp]

14:26 WOW I haven't seen that texture pack in a long time

[@cegicreator2476]

pure bdcraft? I use that like every day every modpack.

[@agent3202]

In the era of 1.7.10 hqm story packs I don‘t think anything can really hold a candle to Blightfall, it‘s so unique, so extremely well built, and it recently got a community update after several years.

[@jimcalhoun361]

One of my favorites that I crack out every now and again was Blightfall. What made it truly great was that it had an actually win condition. I don't remember the Minecraft version. 1.6 or 1.7 I think. Another great one from not all that long ago was Skyblock 4, version 1.12 I think.

[@Ale_Creates]

I forgot what the name of the modpack is but there was a tiny frame in time between 2013 and 2014 where a modpack that contained mods like Biomes O Plenty, Ars Magica, Thaumcraft, Witchery, Moe Creatures, Twilight Forest, and more... got super popular amongst certain youtubers and eneded up making Minecraft feel very magical and fantasy-like....honestly my favorite type of Minecraft lets plays back in the days. Also one modpack that got super popular back in 2020 and quickly stopped being popular was RLCraft, it's like everyone tried RLCraft, varely made any proper progress and collectively decided to drop it.

[@shadow306k]

Expert thumbnail choice, Crash Landing is legendary.

[@jimlahey4995]

Crash landing is so nostalgic its wild, but Equivalent Exchange? damn thats a callback

[@fasddfadfgasdgs]

the challenge modpack material energy series was a fun one. I love it as it had a ton of hidden stuff in it.
