Abyssal Ascent

Home

2,000 blocks below the surface. This, is where you begin.


         
Disclaimer:
This is a very new modpack in alpha, and hence, can be very unstable.
Bugs will most likely be encountered regularly.

Premise

We spawn at the very bottom of this hellish world, and must fight our way up to return to the surface, where we once belonged, battling through extreme conditions and hellish creatures. Can we escape the abyss?! We want to go into this blind so it is a period of discovery for everyone together.

Since this modpack is still in its early development stages (Alpha 0.1.1), relying on the modpack alone to provide satisfactory entertainment is probably a bad idea, as you will run out of things to do very fast. Instead, we encourage you to collaborate with others and find your own creative motivations. Remember, there is the right way to do it, and then there is the entertaining one. Keep the experience fresh and exciting, rather than just focusing on progression and immediately getting to the next layer, finding that it is completely empty.

Rules of thumb

Our aim is to foster a fun and challenging (mostly) collaborative environment where everyone feels included. To achieve this, we’ll take our time as we advance, focusing on building infrastructure, designing farms and contraptions, creating epic builds, and exploring unknown regions together.

Feel free to create factions, cause mischief, create content, organize minigames or events (and let everyone know in the discord!), or any other ideas as long as you don’t ruin the game for anyone else (too badly). I.e. don’t be the cause of unnecessary griefing or killing. Remember, most entertaining for everyone, not just you lmao. The point is to have fun. There are way more entertaining ways to mess with people, as the more subtle it is, usually the more entertaining it is. Be creative about it.

If you decide to post content, remember to be nice to the modpack developers, and credit them, as this has been and is a very time consuming project.

Server Launch

We plan to launch the server on Saturday, 12 October 2024 18:00 UTC-6, though if there are any complications in the deployment of the server, this is subject to change. (also if everyone happens to be busy on this day at this time, we can discuss a better one)

If there are server updates, they will be posted in the discord beforehand with at least 24 hours of warning, and will hopefully be playtested on the world we play on to avoid another backpack fiasco.

P.S. If you know how to do this and want to help me out, please let me know, it would help a lot, ty - Bread

Minimum Requirements

Minecraft Java Edition 1.19.2 on any supported PC. Bedrock edition is not supported.

This server is not vanilla conpatible. Please use the modpack linked below.

Using Minecraft With Mods

Fear not, for it is not hard with the right launcher.

We recommend you download and familiarize yourself with Prism Launcher, as it is very versatile, lightweight, and stable. You may use another more user-friendly launcher if you like, such as the CurseForge Launcher, or the Default launcher.

Please ask in the Discord if you need help with setting up the modded launchers.

Downloads

                
Disclaimer:
Downloading the prism launcher pack is highly reccomended, becuase donwloading just the mods alone won't include configuration files that are modified to be different than the defaults. Downloading only the mods will work, however certain features and enhancements may not work as intended.
