General Modpack Information

  • Minecraft Version: 1.20.1 (Forge)
  • Pack Focus: Automation, magic, space exploration, ancient technology
  • Core Pillars: Create-style engineering, advanced tech, spellcraft, interplanetary travel, and large-scale exploration
Stormhold is designed for long-term worlds. Progression is intentional—take your time and don’t rush systems that are meant to scale.

Performance & Setup Tips

If you experience lag, stuttering, or long load times:
  • Allocate 10–20 GB of RAM (more for servers or shaders)
    If you dont want sharders make sure to turn them off or take out Oculas
  • Use the default graphics settings first, then increase visuals gradually
  • Shaders are optional—disable them if performance drops
  • Avoid adding extra heavy mods unless you know they are compatible
If the game fails to launch, double-check that:
  • You are using the correct Forge version
  • No mods were removed from the pack
  • Java is up to date

Automation & Tech Help

Stormhold features multiple tech paths that can be used together:
  • Mechanical automation (belts, gears, moving parts)
  • Electrical and energy-based machines
  • Advanced processing chains and power generation
Tips:
  • Start small and scale up—large factories work best when planned
  • Chunk loading can help automation but may affect performance
  • Storage systems work best when centralized

Magic & Progression Help

Magic systems in Stormhold are progression-based, not instant power boosts.
  • Unlock spells gradually
  • Experiment with spell combinations
  • Many magical systems can automateely integrate with automation
If something feels weak early-game, that’s normal—magic scales with investment.

Exploration & Dimensions

Stormhold heavily expands world generation and structures.
  • Expect dangerous dungeons and powerful bosses
  • Bring supplies—many structures are meant for mid-to-late game
  • Some dimensions require preparation before entering
Use navigation tools wisely and mark important locations.

Space & Late-Game Content

Space progression is endgame-oriented:
  • Prepare infrastructure before launching
  • Power, oxygen, and materials matter
  • Other planets are not safe zones
Space content is designed to reward players who master earlier systems first.

Stargates, Travel & Transport

Fast travel systems are powerful but intentional:
  • Stargates and transporters may require setup and resources
  • They are best used for established bases and hubs
  • Not all locations are meant to be instantly accessible
Exploration still matters—even with fast travel available.

Common Issues & Fixes

Game won’t launch:
  • Check crash logs
  • Verify all mods are present
  • Reinstall the pack if needed
Low FPS:
  • Reduce render distance
  • Disable shaders
  • Close background applications
Missing recipes or items:
  • Some content is gated behind progression
