VORTEX Foundations

Initial alpha release for use in testing on other devices. This is a largely incomplete, but very fancy modpack experience.

The current state of the pack could be considered what you would call a Kitchen Sink. See for yourself!

This first release of 2.7 brings much needed polish on all aspects. Quests have been touched up extensively, concrete as well, fun new recipes have been added...

Overall, this is all over the place. Sadly, we have removed VR, as it didn't fit with the design of VF, and made for a pretty bad experience-

It'll return in another modpack I'll make someday however. Oh, watermedia is back.

Anyway! This update marks the beginning of VFS 4, the pack's very own multiplayer survival world starting on the 21th of March 2026! Join the Discord Server to apply.

This is a critical Alpha. Even though still not intended for surival, as made clear by the new disclaimer in the main menu, it is nevertheless possible.

Re-Enabled smelting ores by furnace. Technically, you could try making a survival playthrough then, but it's not how it's intended to be...

Well, here we are again with nice polishing! Visible ravagers, QoL Certus recipes, new snow patterns in the arctic, new foundry placement... And custom engraved groove with Create Harmonics.

This, all in all, is a very all-over-the-place kind of update. Fixing problems and adding new ones: Like 200 MB of libraries in order for custom music discs to work.

I'm waiting on Create: Metallurgy as much as you are, the dev says they'll try to release it in February.

With that, I'll try to get the update as soon as possible by integrating the new features and finishing up the renewed steel. In the meantime, enjoy Clockwork and Interactive!

Welcome back Create Diesel Generators! A lot has changed in this alpha, mostly the removal of good old TFMG. It was too buggy and tedious for the modpack's vision.

As such, CDG returns, prettier than last time. I've additionally tweaked the values of its fuels, which is incredibly prone to change. Make a reasonable car and tell me if the fuel lasts long enough for it to be fun!

The progression still doesn't work, but the modpack is actually playable in this state. Please, wait for the next 2.7 beta if you wish to experience the true VF stuff... In the meantime, enjoy!

This is a pretty rough release to fix a bug where players cannot move in dedicated servers due to Valkyrien Skies. As such, this version does not contain it.

This is only a temporary fix for dedicated servers, stay on 2.6.14 if you wish to keep playing with VS!

? CHANGED

• All Valkyrien Skies add-ons have been disabled!

An update of everything but Clockwork and Create due to Create: Metallurgy still missing its update... So in meantime, here's an update for the working version of VF.

This update brings a handful of fixes, but there's still much to go.

Sorry for the 3 reuploads, the better pause menu was not, in fact, better. But I fixed it, and now it IS better!

Welcome back. This new alpha fixes critical bugs that were present in the last version, as well as adding new tid bits.

• Most importantly: You can now launch the game! I don't know why the Chat Animations version was like that but it's fixed now.
• VS Sails has been disabled for now as it crashes your game upon creating a new ship.
• CraftTweaker will no longer spam errors, as I've disabled the related recipes.
• The Pause Menu has received a touch up.
• New path block retexture!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• Dynamic Lights are broken.

That's all for now, you take care. But don't forget this is NOT how you're supposed to play VF. Please use 2.6.13 if you wish to use a playable version.

CRITICAL - Block breaking fix

A single letter killed your ability to break blocks. It is now fixed!

Oh yeah there's a ton of problems surrounding crashes with Valkyrien Skies and Supplementaries. There's developer beef maybe.

Also, Trackwork is back. Cars! Tanks! Wao!

+ ADDED

• Trackwork
• Cherished Worlds

î UPDATED

• VMod

Updated the Ancient Foundry already to not be too terrible. Now it's better! With a better Blaze Spawner and actual means to reach it correctly...

VS2 has also just updated, with cool new features that include working with out version of Create.

Take care!

WARNING - Enable Cheats! doMobLoot is false by default! My bad, oops.

The first appearance of the Ancient Foundry has arrived! Get yourself basic gear, and head down into the depths to get good metallurgy!

The structure is subject to change, so don't hesitate to give feedback on it. Happy testing!

Also physics exist now. Go wild, observe bugs, don't worry we know about them-

Proof of concept for restricting metals behind metallurgy. It is heavily advised you give yourself Blaze Burners before starting a save in this version!

If VF continues down this path, a new guaranteed structure will be added at spawn, providing means to obtain Blazes in the Overworld.

This is to be tested! And to be tweaked. Look at what's possible, and repôrt back on the Discord- We're heading a weird route.

Also fixed an issue where clay did not exist.
