On the 31st October 2019, the partnership between FTB and Twitch will be ending. The current contract was scheduled to run out on October 31st and twitch have decided not to renew it. I have no further information with regards to the contract renewal.

With regards to the content that we currently distribute on the Twitch Desktop App, on or around the 1st of November the current plan is to delete the FTB twitch account. This will remove all FTB mod packs from the Twitch App. These packs will only be available on the FTB Launcher from that point moving forwards.

FTB has also over the last few years produced a number of mods that have become invaluable to mod pack developers including FTB Library, FTB Utilities and FTB Quests. Our current plan is to move all of these mods over to u/LatvianModder ’s account so they are still available for mod pack developers to use. These mods will continue to receive bug fixes as and when they are needed.

Moving forward, the team plans to return our focus to the FTB Launcher as our primary method of modpack distribution. With this in mind, we have already put together a team of people to redesign and replace the current FTB launcher with an updated desktop app. This new app should be available soon after the 1st of November in a beta form. In the beginning the new app will have a minimal feature set, but is being designed in a way that will allow us to add new functionality quickly and easily. More details about this including a road map will be released over the coming weeks.

The main difference between the current launcher and the new app will be the way that we handle Minecraft account credentials. The current launcher uses the Mojang login system to allow people to log into their Minecraft accounts and then launches the game directly. Whereas the new app will use a system much like the Twitch app, where-by it creates a new profile in the Minecraft launcher and a user would log in via the Minecraft launcher itself. This...

FTB Continuum

FTB Continuum is an expert style modpack packed with some of the latest tech mods by Feed the Beast! Majority of the recipes and intended progression that you are used to has been changed. Continuum introduces new, never before used mods to make things even more difficult and challenging. The overall goal of this pack is to extend game play buy making large changes to progression though out the mods. This pack contains a lot of custom quests to help you progress and provide tips/tricks and even rewards as you play through Continuum. Note that the quests are completely optional to play through the pack, but high suggested due to the large number of game play changes. The survival difficulty has not been changed other than the introduction of Spice of Life, however this is setup in a way where it’s not a burden to the player.

Minefaire Los Angeles

FTB will be at Minefaire Los Angeles April 14th and 15th. We'll be running a tournament with a custom built modded challenge map.

The map will also be released publicly after the convention.

We are happy to announce the release of the FTB Pyramid Reborn, a brand new challenge map with a similar concept as the original FTB map released 6 years ago. Play by yourself, with or against your friends. Available now on the Twitch app and the FTB launcher.


Included in the modpack, youtubers and streamers will find a press pack of official graphics to use with their content.

FTB Continuum

We didn't quite make our internal deadline of starting testing by the end of last month, but we're close. We're going to have a few FTB One members doing an initial play test as soon as this week with a wider launch to all of FTB One in another week or two. Next months news post will include a list of the players on FTB One who are streaming the pack.

What do you look for in a quest based modpack?

We have recently started development on several new mod packs, one of which has taken a new direction in the last couple of days that has encouraged me to come directly to the community to seek input with regards to how we go about creating it. From what was initially going to be something fairly generic, it now looks like we are going to add some story elements into the pack, along with our custom questing solution.

With this in mind, it would be useful if some of you would take the time to complete the following survey:

The information from this will be used to help us refine this pack and hopefully make it a better experience for all.

Thanks to everyone who takes the time to read this.

The FTB Team.

Modpack News

We're making progress on Continuum and hoping to have an alpha on FTB One this month.

Launcher News

Curse is migrating their servers and web sites from one place to another and since most of our infrastructure is hosted by them, it's having a bit of an impact on us as well. The forum was down for a few hours on Friday while it moved and the system that supports the legacy launcher is being changed over soon. We had to make some changes to the launcher to support the new servers and the previous version, 1.4.15, won't work once the changeover happens. So if you're still using the legacy launcher, be sure to open it in the next few days so it updates. If you miss the move, you can just redownload the launcher from website front page.

Minefaire Los Angeles

FTB will be at Minefaire Los Angeles April 14th and 15th. We'll be running a tournament with a custom built modded challenge map.

We are expecting a downtime on our forums tomorrow (Feb 1st) for about 3 hours starting at 10pm UTC This is to enable us to migrate our forums onto new hosting facilities. During this time you will be unable to access any areas of the forums.

In addition you may see temporary downtime on our launcher as well over the next few days. We are taking every step possible to keep these to an absolute minimum. We are sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause and hope to return to normal service by Saturday (Feb 3rd) at the latest.

Modpack News

We were aiming to release Continuum, our 1.12 expert pack, before Christmas, but unfortunately, as we started to get into the development, we realized that we needed more time to put out a quality expert pack. So we are taking a step back and instead working on a kitchen sink pack named Revelation that should be out in the next few weeks. We will resume development of Continuum after the holidays.

If you want to follow the progress of Revelation, these people stream or upload videos from our development server, FTB One.

Modpack News

Development is progressing on our expert mode pack for Minecraft 1.12. We have settled on the name FTB Continuum and are starting testing this week. As usual, there's no release timeline.

We are also developing the 1.12 version of Direwolf20's pack which will likely release much sooner than the expert mode one.

Discord Server

In addition to our Twitch app server, FTB now has an official Discord server. Join by clicking on the image below.

It's been quite some time since we released a full pack, so we're extra excited to officially announce the return of Horizons.



Like the previous editions of Horizons, this modpack focuses on the lesser known mods that aren't often included in FTB packs. The vast changes of the modded landscape in the recent Minecraft versions will make this modpack extra unique.
