Added exploration beyond the standard skyblock adds depth to the gameplay. The initial option of a happy ghast would have been great, if only the speed was increased significantly, otherwise it takes jetpacks to really open up fun exploration. Multiple resource generation options leading to some flexibility of play.

Description

Take to the skies in a brand new progression-driven adventure from Feed The Beast.

FTB Skies 2 is a next-generation skyblock experience built on Minecraft 1.21.1 with a focus on rewarding gameplay, custom mechanics, and player-driven progression. With hundreds of hours of content and deep integration between popular and custom mods, you're reaching for the stars in this pack.


Choose Your Path

In Skies 2, players progress by selecting one of three fully developed and balanced resource generation paths:

  • Path of Crystalmancy
    Harness the power of budding geodes, crystal transformation, and arcane material synthesis using custom mechanics like FTB Ez Crystals, GeOre Nouveau, and Productive Metalworks. Discover a new way to grow your empire; one gem at a time.
  • Path of Cultivation
    Dive into sustainable farming through Mystical Agriculture, Productive Bees, and Fishing Overhaul. Grow, breed, and fish your way to success, combining automation and biological mastery.
  • Path of Prospecting
    Engineer powerful contraptions using Create and Create: Sifting. This path is perfect for players who enjoy complex mechanical automation and the thrill of unearthing treasures from raw materials.

Each path is unique, yet complementary. You can follow one or master them all.


Custom Questing & Player Agency

  • 1,000+ custom-designed quests that go beyond the typical "craft every item" format.
  • Includes turn-ins, exploration objectives, observations, challenges, and boss kill goals.
  • A unique quest reward shop lets players choose the rewards that best suit their build or playstyle.
  • Our questbook guides players from humble beginnings to mastery in tech, magic, and automation.

Expanding the Vanilla Experience

Vanilla mechanics aren't left behind, instead they're enhanced and reimagined. From Piglin bartering, villager trading systems, completely custom wandering trades to mob farms and Happy Ghast mounts and enchanting allays, everything integrates into the modded experience.


Player Growth and Combat Progression

  • Level up using Pufferfish's Skills, Apothic Attributes, and Relics.
  • Equip powerful Curios, Jewelry from Iron’s Gems 'n Jewelry, and enhanced gear with Apothic Enchanting.
  • Fight your way through a gauntlet of bosses and elite mobs using spells from Iron's Spells ‘n Spellbooks, rituals from Malum, and tech from Industrial Foregoing and Mekanism Unleashed.

Custom Worldgen & Final Challenge

Explore a world of custom-designed floating islands featuring detailed biomes, dungeons, and secrets. From twisting jungle treetops to frostbitten cliff spires, every island is hand-crafted.

Over half a dozen uniquely custom built starting islands are available when you begin your journey from the minimalist floating dirt block with a tree, to grandiose Amethyst Isles, steampunk-inspired Steamworks, and more.

Your ultimate goal? Conquer the fully reworked Feed The Beast Pyramid. This endgame structure is the most demanding version yet and will test your knowledge, skills, and automation abilities across every major content mod in the pack.


Mod Highlights

  • Magic: Ars Nouveau, Malum, Occultism, Enchanted: Witchcraft, Irons' Spells, Roots 4
  • Tech: Create, Mekanism, Industrial Foregoing, Oritech, Just Dire Things, Modern Industrialization
  • Storage: Refined Storage 2, Applied Energistics 2, Mekanism QIO, Sophisticated & Functional Storage
  • World & Progression: FTB Team Bases, Gateways to Eternity, Compact Machines, Replication
  • Utilities: Thousands of custom recipes, FTB Suite of Mods, Mob Grinding Utils, Fargo's Talismans, Relics, Tempad, Genetics, MFFS, Silent Gear, Cognition, Apotheosis & Much More!

FTB Skies 2 is not an expert pack, but make no mistake; this is a progression-driven experience that rewards creativity, exploration, and strategic planning.

Grab your friends or go it alone and take to the skies Today!
