Welcome to the Industrial Upgrade introductory modpack!

 

Industrial Upgrade in the spotlight: This modpack offers a clear quest-based progression from primitive smelteries and steam-powered machines to electric factories, photonic technology, and space colonization. All core technologies are built around IU, enhanced with quality-of-life mods. Step-by-step FTB quests guide you through ore processing, power generation, handling radioactive materials, and establishing interplanetary colonies. Perfect for those who want to dive deep into industrial development with a well-structured achievement system.

The modpack supports two recipe modes for the Industrial Upgrade mod: default — standard difficulty, and easy — a simplified version. Instructions on how to switch between them are provided within the quests themselves.

Quests support English, Chinese and Russian languages, depending on your Minecraft language settings.

🌏Terralith — will change world generation and diversify your world; explore unique biomes and landscapes!
