#What is the SkyFactory 4 Minecraft Modpack?
SkyFactory 4 is a Forge-based skyblock survival modpack for versions 1.12.2, 1.12.1, and 1.12.
Modded skyblock returns once again with SkyFactory 4, delivering an experience unlike anything the series has done before. Automation, tech, magic, and bacon resources all come together in this latest take on the formula.
With more than 30 world types included, this version lets you approach the pack in ways previous entries never offered. Some world types keep the familiar tree-on-dirt start players know well, while others bring their own distinct recipes and advancements to work through instead.
#Minecraft SkyFactory 4 Features
#Resource gathering:
- Sieving is gone - resource gathering got a full rework this time around
- Sky Orchards replace it for a more immersive gathering experience
- Resource Trees add a built-in progression path, putting resource choice in your hands rather than leaving it up to randomness
#Advancements:
- Achievement book removed, swapped out for the advancement system
- Automatic tracking - the game handles tracking your accomplishments in the background instead of doing it manually
- Optional direction, not a required quest line - meant to offer ideas for anyone unsure what to try next, not to force a set path
#World variety:
- 30+ world types available
- Some keep the familiar tree-on-dirt start, while others bring their own distinct recipes and advancements
#The Prestige System
A brand-new addition to SkyFactory 4, prestige is a fully optional mode that opens up mods, items, and mechanics through its own open-ended progression path.
- Points and unlocks carry over globally, following you into other worlds you create
- Points can be earned by finishing advancements, or by putting the Parabox, a time-traveling box, to work generating them on its own
- Getting started just means flipping on prestige mode from the world creation screen
