Rendition

Long ago, a cataclysmic event left the sisterworld, known now only as the Rift, cutoff from the Overworld. Recently though, strange portals of Diorite have been discovered, with chests bearing flowers near them. Wandering Traders speak of strange gem stones and new trials buried beneath the earth, and in some villages, new technologies have begun to appear. A time of change is coming, and it might be time for an intrepid adventurer to make a name for themselves.

Brave a wonderous world of adventure and air travel in the Rendition Modpack!

What is Rendition?

Rendition is a modpack built atop five pillars of design: Aesthetics, Action, Adventure, Automation, and Airships. Rendition is intended for players that are familiar with Minecraft and looking for more. More stuff to do, more things to craft, more challenges, more combat styles, more things to build, a more beautiful world, and even more dimensions.

• For Aesthetics, Rendition features custom shaders, Terralith's gorgeous biomes, and a new dimension inspired by the Vaporwave aesthetic.
• In terms of Action, the combat system has been altered with Better Combat, many new weapons have been added, and you can find new tools like the Grappling Hook and the Paraglider to navigate the world.
• For Adventure, there are many new challenges and structures that have been added through mods like Repurposed Structures, MCDungeons Trials, and exclusive content like the Rift dimension and the more than 40 new structures it adds.
• With Automation comes convenience, and Rendition accomplishes this with mods like Create, Mekanism, Immersive Engineering, and Applied Energistics 2. Virtually any resource can be automated in Rendition, even enchanting and liquid experience.
• And lastly, Airships. Rendition takes advantage of Create: Aeronautics and the Sable Physics Engine to allow you to craft airships and vehicles to traverse the dimensions in style.

The Rift Dimension

Rendition is the home to the Rift Dimension, a new dimension designed for mid to late game play with airships and vehicles in mind. It is intended to be a bit more threatening than the Nether, but with more available rewards and a story that can be unraveled through diagetic mechanics and inferences. In the Rift, one can find many variant mobs, including the Riftagers, Riftlins, Happy Ghasts, and (as is the motto of Rendition) more.

The Mystic Halls

Deep within the Rift Dimension, one can also find the Mystic Halls, a new challenging type of dungeon similar to a Trial Chamber but with its own keys and rewards including a new tier of weapons and armor, as well as the items required to craft powerful magical artifacts.

Maintaining Balance

Combat has been completely rebalanced and there are over 30 new weapons to obtain across the various tiers. Also, while the difficulty of the Rift is intended to be more challenging than that of the base game, there is a design language that the player can learn to defeat the new structures that they encounter. Additionally, every mod in the pack has been gone through to check for balance and many recipes have been altered or removed.

Open Beta

Rendition is a large modpack designed around Create: Aeronautics and the Sable Physics Engine. As such, compatibility has been one of the main and most meticulous focuses of the modpack. There are even several small mods to add Sable compatibility for other mods. While the playtesters have been analyzing everything with a fine toothed comb, this project is still in Open Beta, and you may encounter some small issues.
