In terms of mechanics, sky factory 5 is definitely the most varied and interesting of the series bringing new ideas and concepts. The colours literally coming back to your world as you get new stages is an incredibly unique concept and really helps elevate intrigue.

The execution however is unfortunately incredibly flawed and it took my group of 4 people 4 hours to realise the green stage hadn't given us the reward on triggering, entirely softlocking us and meaning we had to cheat in resources. This alone was reason enough as it took much searching to figure out why we couldn't get any green stuff and we would've been entirely stuck if we didn't find a thread on reddit describing how common this issue was...

Further more, the colour system, while interesting, passes quickly and you fall into the traps of skyblock very soon, just harvesting trees and stuck collecting stuff in barrels.

Interesting idea, poor execution. Try the pack if you really like the series but there are better modern skyblocks.

Description

The newest ultimate skyblock modpack! Watch development at: darkosto.tv/SkyFactoryLive

 
Guess who's back?! Back again for it's 5th installment! That's right, it's SkyFactory® 5! View the world in a way you never have before with all new, unprecedented, handmade modpack progression. Your goal is to paint the world one color at a time with whatever happy accidents happen along the way! Filled with tech, magic, chaos, and imagination you'll create your magnum opus that will leave an everlasting impression.

The world is your canvas, literally. With a completely redefined resource system at its core, a palette of updated mods, a spectrum of new challenges, and endless possibilities, SkyFactory® 5 invites you to paint your story in the clouds. Made in technicolor, built with blocks, you'll be able to automate with tech mods, conjure prismatic wonders with magic, and furnish your world with more decorative mods than ever before seen in any SkyFactory® in history. Resources can be crafted with dye available from various sources, collect color from dripstone, open gateways to battle titans for loot, or harness the colorful explosions of Creepers to fill your vault! Making its SkyFactory® world premiere is Create, with a suite of addons to broaden your canvas. We're also bringing back old favorites, such as Mystical Agriculture, Draconic Evolution, RFTools Dimensions, and much, much more.

We have overhauled how mob spawning is done. You'll begin your journey isolated, but through discovery obtain gateways to battle and unleash mobs at will. Every gateway you complete will award you with a trophy, empowering you to spawn that mob on demand. Liberate mob spawners and tailor them with stats and abilities to suit your needs.

For those who like direction we've curated a task book filled to the brim with goals, accomplishments, and challenges like adorning your ever-growing head with hats, villager trading, filling your backpacks with backpacks, and eating dirt!

SkyFactory® 5: Creativity, reimagined... for the 5th time.
