Whether you're an architect, a merchant, a driver, or just a city dweller, Urban Craft has something for you.

Features

🏗️ Build Your City

With the complete Macaw's suite — roads, pavings, bridges, doors, windows, fences, lights, roofs, stairs, and trapdoors, paintings — you have everything you need to construct a fully detailed, realistic city from the ground up. Add architectural depth with Framed Blocks, Architects Palette, Builders Addition, Copycats+, and Citresewn for limitless creative freedom. Decorate interiors with Mcw Furniture, hang signs and direction arrows with Signpost and Supplementaries, and line your streets with working lamps and urban details. CityCraft gives you various types of road signs and road blocks.

🌡️ Survive the Environment

The world is not just a backdrop — it will challenge you. Cold Sweat introduces a full temperature system: stay warm in winter, find shade in summer, or face the physical consequences of ignoring the climate. Serene Seasons brings four beautiful, dynamic seasons that change the landscape around you throughout the year. Particle Rain and **Falling Leaves **make every storm and autumn breeze feel cinematic and alive.

🍽️ Eat Well, Live Well

Farmer's Delight overhauls cooking with realistic recipes, cutting boards, and new ingredients. Diet tracks your nutritional balance — eating the same food every day will slow you down, so keep your meals varied.** AppleSkin** keeps you informed about hunger and saturation at all times.

💰 Economy & Trade

Build a functioning economy with Lightman's Currency — mint physical coins, open shops, and trade with other players or villagers. Villager Names gives every NPC a unique identity, making your city feel populated with real citizens rather than identical merchants. Guard Villagers keeps your streets safe with armed patrols day and night.

🚗 Transportation & Mobility

Hit the road with Immersive Vehicles — drive cars, trucks, and more through your city streets with realistic vehicle physics. Expand your transport network with Steam Rails and the MTS Official Pack along with the UNU Civilian and Parts Packs, adding trains, trams, and public transit infrastructure to your world. Plan every route with Xaero's Minimap and Xaero's World Map, and set waypoints across your entire urban sprawl. Trafficcraft adds road signs and traffic infrastructure to keep your city streets organized.

⚙️ Technology & Automation

Create brings mechanical engineering to your city — build factories, automate production lines, and power your infrastructure with gears, belts, and steam engines. Create Addition, Create Deco, and Escalated expand the ecosystem even further. Devices adds interactive gadgets and tech blocks that bring a modern, smart-city feel to your builds.

🔊 Immersive Audio & Visuals

Sound Physics Remastered gives every sound realistic reverb and echo — hear your footsteps bounce off city walls and rain echo through alleyways. Ambient Sounds fills every corner of the world with environmental audio. Presence Footsteps adds distinct sounds for every surface you walk on, from cobblestone to grass to asphalt. Drip Sounds adds realistic water dripping in underground spaces. Entity Texture Features and Entity Model Features make every mob feel visually unique with randomized textures and improved animations. Distant Horizons pushes your view distance far beyond vanilla limits, letting you admire your entire city skyline from miles away — perfect for screenshots and appreciating your hard work.

🔫 Security & Combat

Protect your city with SecurityCraft — set up security cameras, laser tripwires, alarm systems, and reinforced doors to keep intruders out. TACZ brings a modern, realistic firearms system with detailed weapon models and mechanics for those who want to take city defense seriously.

🎒 Storage & Organization

Sophisticated Backpacks gives you tiered, upgradeable backpacks so you can carry everything you need on long building sessions. Mouse Tweaks makes inventory management far smoother and faster.

🌳A Living World

Dynamic Trees and Dynamic Trees Plus replace vanilla tree generation with realistic, gradually growing trees that fall when chopped. Falling Leaves adds gentle particle effects to foliage. Visuality enhances visual feedback with particles and effects that make the world feel more reactive and alive.

Urban Craft is built to run smoothly even with its large mod list. The pack includes Embeddium, Oculus, FerriteCore, ModernFix, Starlight, Saturn, Radium, Rubidium Extra, Entity Culling, Memory Leak Fix, and Smooth Boot (Reloaded) to keep your game fast and stable on a wide range of hardware.

❓ FAQ

Is this modpack multiplayer compatible?
Yes! Urban Craft is fully designed with multiplayer in mind. Most mods work on servers — just install the server-side mods and make sure your friends use the same modpack version.

How much RAM do I need?
We recommend allocating at least 6 GB of RAM, with 8 GB being the sweet spot for a smooth experience. If you use Distant Horizons at high settings, consider going up to 10 GB.

Can I add my own mods?
Yes, but proceed with caution. Urban Craft already includes a large number of mods, so adding more increases the chance of conflicts. Always test new mods one at a time.

Does this work with shaders?
Yes! The pack includes Oculus and Embeddium which support shader packs. We recommend Complementary Reimagined in Lite mode for the best balance between visuals and performance.

Is OptiFine supported?
No. OptiFine is incompatible with many mods in this pack. Use Embeddium + Oculus instead — they provide the same features with far better compatibility.
