Description

Ex Nihilo is a Latin phrase meaning "out of nothing". Ex Nihilo: Sequentia is the next installment of the long-lasting Ex Nihilo mod series. With it, you can create resources and mobs out of nothing! Well, sort of...you need a tree to start.
Using barrels, sieves, and a few other tools, you can produce all the resources you need. This mod is handy for those skyblock experiences we all know and love.
Ex Nihilo: Sequentia started as a port of Ex Nihilo: Creatio for 1.12, which in turn was a fork of Ex Nihilo: Adscensio for 1.10, which was a continuation of Ex Nihilo for 1.7.10. Since its start, Ex Nihilo: Sequentia has grown into a familiar yet unique mod of its own.
Beginning with Version 5.0.0 (Minecraft Version 1.20.1), Ex Nihilo: Sequentia will only support NeoForge. Version 4.2.X (Minecraft Version 1.19.X) will continue to be supported until Minecraft Version 1.21 is released, at which point Minecraft 1.19.X, and consequentially Minecraft Forge, will no longer be supported.
