# Forever World
|
|
|
|
The Forever World pack is the long-lived Minecraft survival modpack.
|
|
|
|
The goal is to expand Minecraft without turning the world into a disposable modpack save. Mods are selected with long-term compatibility, maintainability and world-save safety in mind.
|
|
|
|
## Platform
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
Minecraft: 1.21.1
|
|
NeoForge: 21.1.248
|
|
Packwiz: managed
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Philosophy
|
|
|
|
The pack is intentionally conservative.
|
|
|
|
Content mods should provide meaningful additions while avoiding unnecessary permanent dependencies on abandoned or experimental mods.
|
|
|
|
The core gameplay additions currently centre around:
|
|
|
|
- Create
|
|
- Create: Bells & Whistles
|
|
- Create: Connected
|
|
- Create: Copycats+
|
|
- Critters and Companions
|
|
- Farmer's Delight
|
|
- Handcrafted
|
|
|
|
Exploration and mining quality-of-life additions include:
|
|
|
|
- Nature's Compass
|
|
- VeinMiner
|
|
|
|
Create's native stock links, stock tickers, packagers and physical transport remain the intended storage and logistics system. The pack deliberately avoids adding a separate digital storage network unless future gameplay demonstrates a clear need.
|
|
|
|
Additional mods provide mapping, building, controller support, connected textures, dynamic lighting, performance, diagnostics and other client quality-of-life improvements.
|
|
|
|
Axiom is provided through Sinytra Connector and Forgified Fabric API.
|
|
|
|
## Client and Server Mods
|
|
|
|
Packwiz `side` metadata determines deployment.
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
side = "client"
|
|
side = "server"
|
|
side = "both"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Pterodactyl installs the server pack using:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
packwiz-installer-bootstrap.jar -g -s server <pack.toml>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This automatically excludes client-only mods such as Iris and Sodium.
|
|
|
|
Some optional client-oriented mods are intentionally installed server-side where their server functionality is useful and does not create an undesirable world dependency.
|
|
|
|
## Development
|
|
|
|
Current development builds are published at:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
https://mc.ahmza.com/forever/dev/pack.toml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Production uses:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
https://mc.ahmza.com/forever/stable/pack.toml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Changes pushed to `main` are tested against the development/staging server before release.
|
|
|
|
## Releases
|
|
|
|
Forever World releases use repository tags:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
forever-v1.0.0
|
|
forever-v1.0.1
|
|
forever-v1.1.0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A tagged release is published to both:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
/forever/releases/v1.x.x/
|
|
/forever/stable/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Release tags and release directories are immutable.
|
|
|
|
Major mod additions, Minecraft migrations and other potentially disruptive changes should be tested on Playground or a feature branch before being introduced here.
|
|
|
|
## Updating a Mod
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd forever
|
|
|
|
packwiz update <mod>
|
|
packwiz refresh
|
|
|
|
git add .
|
|
git commit -m "Update <mod>"
|
|
git push
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Test the resulting development deployment before creating a release tag.
|
|
|
|
## World Safety
|
|
|
|
Before introducing or removing a content mod, consider:
|
|
|
|
- Does it add blocks or entities that become part of the world save?
|
|
- Does it modify world generation?
|
|
- What happens if development stops?
|
|
- Can the mod be removed without damaging the world?
|
|
- Is it likely to survive future Minecraft migrations?
|
|
|
|
The objective is not zero world dependencies; Create and other content mods deliberately become part of the world.
|
|
|
|
The objective is to keep those dependencies intentional.
