Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Block
Modpackby Sown
The ultimate Star Wars modpack
Description
The Empire Strikes Block is a Star Wars modpack built around exploration, immersion, and large scale multiplayer adventure. Originally created for the official Empire Strikes Block server, the pack lets players travel across a growing galaxy filled with custom planets, unique landscapes, Star Wars blocks, items, mobs, music, and gameplay features.
At the center of the modpack is Sown's Star Wars Mod, a custom mod made specifically for this project. It adds much of the unique content that gives the pack its identity, including custom worlds, decorative blocks, creatures, gear, music, and other features designed to make the experience feel more alive.
With over 43 planets currently included and more planned over time, there is always somewhere new to explore, build, fight, trade, or create your own story. Some planets feature naturally generated terrain for players to explore and build on, while certain planets on the official server use custom made maps to create a more detailed Star Wars setting.
The best way to experience the modpack is through the official server included in the pack, where players can explore the galaxy together, join factions, take part in events, build settlements, and become part of the larger community. You can also learn more through the official website: The Empire Strikes Block Website.
Since you are already on CurseForge, installing the modpack is simple. Click the Install button on this page through the CurseForge launcher, wait for the pack to download, and then launch it from your modpack library.
For the best experience, we recommend allocating at least 8GB of RAM to the modpack. Once installed, you can join the included official multiplayer server from the server list, or start a singleplayer world and begin exploring the galaxy on your own.
How many planets are included?
The modpack currently includes over 43 planets, with more planned over time.
Can I play this in singleplayer?
Yes. The modpack can be played in singleplayer, but it was originally built around the official multiplayer server experience.
Do I need to enter the server IP manually?
No. The official server is already included in the modpack's multiplayer server list.
What is the main custom mod in the pack?
The main custom mod is Sown's Star Wars Mod, which adds many of the pack's custom Star Wars features.
Where can I learn more?
You can learn more about the server, modpack, planets, gameplay systems, and community through the official website: sownathlete.com/the-empire-strikes-block.
How much RAM should I allocate?
We recommend at least 8GB of RAM for the best experience. More may help depending on your settings, render distance, and whether you are using additional client side mods.
Join our Discord community to keep up with the latest updates, server news, development previews, and announcements. It is also the best place to ask questions, report issues, share screenshots, suggest ideas, and connect with other players who are exploring the galaxy.
Whether you are looking for help installing the modpack, trying to find other players, or just want to follow the progress of the project, the Discord is the main hub for the Empire Strikes Block community.

Follow us on YouTube for trailers, update videos, showcases, tutorials, and other Empire Strikes Block content. As the modpack and server continue to grow, the channel will be used to highlight new planets, features, events, builds, and major changes.
It is also a good place to see the modpack in action before jumping in yourself, especially if you want a better look at the planets, gameplay, and overall Star Wars atmosphere.
