Brave New Globe
A Big Globe modpack for Minecraft 1.21.1 on
NeoForge — Create-ecosystem tech, cannons, aeronautics, and hand-authored Big Globe
world/spawn compatibility.
Current pack: 0.9.19 — 158 mods. Quest book 17 chapters / 242 quests.
- Loader: NeoForge
21.1.248 (runs Fabric mods via Sinytra Connector + Forgified Fabric API)
- How it’s delivered: packwiz. You set your launcher up once;
after that, every time you launch, the pack pulls the latest mods automatically — new mods are
added, updated mods are re-downloaded, and removed mods are deleted. You never drag jars by hand.
What’s in the pack
- Create ecosystem — Create plus a large stack of add-ons (aeronautics, cannons, logistics,
diesel generators, trains, and more).
- Big Globe world generation — with hand-authored compatibility datapacks for spawns, structures,
and cross-mod integration (shipped via Paxi).
- Survival & QoL — seasons, thirst/diseases, farming and food, villager overhauls, and supporting
libraries.
- Optional visuals — Iris shaders, Distant Horizons, Simple Clouds, and other client-side eye-candy
that can be toggled off on low-spec machines.
