🌄 Beyond the Horizon

Explore breathtaking worlds. Build your dream settlement. Engineer your future.

Beyond the Horizon is a Minecraft 1.21.1 NeoForge modpack combining immersive exploration, beautiful world generation, extensive farming, creative building, and industrial automation.

Discover towering mountain ranges, colorful forests, forgotten ruins, and distant castles. Establish your home in a quiet valley, grow an enormous variety of crops, and prepare elaborate meals in your own kitchen.

Then take your settlement into the industrial age. Build mechanical workshops, automate your farms, refine oil, generate electricity, and develop a sophisticated factory powered by Create, Mekanism, and Immersive Engineering.

Whether you prefer peaceful building, long expeditions, farming, or engineering complex machinery, there is always something new to discover.

Your world is waiting. What will you build?


🌍 A world worth exploring

Spectacular terrain and endless horizons

Forget ordinary Minecraft landscapes.

Beyond the Horizon combines several world-generation mods to create dramatic terrain, distinctive biomes, and beautiful natural environments.

World generation includes:

  • Tectonic — Enormous mountain ranges, deep valleys, dramatic cliffs, and more varied terrain.
  • Biomes O' Plenty — Beautiful forests, wetlands, vegetation, trees, and natural building materials.
  • Oh The Biomes We've Gone — An additional collection of colorful, distinctive, and fantastical environments.
  • Dynamic Trees — Trees that grow naturally over time, with more organic shapes and branching structures.

Together, these mods transform the landscape into a world filled with new environments to explore and places to call home.

See the world like never before

Distant Horizons allows you to see landscapes far beyond Minecraft's ordinary render distance.

Stand on a mountain and look across enormous valleys, distant forests, and mountain ranges stretching toward the horizon.

The modpack includes both Complementary Reimagined and Complementary Unbound, allowing you to choose your preferred visual style.

Combined with Distant Horizons, these shaders create beautiful lighting, dramatic sunsets, atmospheric environments, and spectacular distant scenery.

Exploration has never looked quite like this.


🏰 Discover forgotten places

A world filled with secrets

Exploration should feel rewarding.

Beyond the Horizon introduces a large variety of naturally generated structures, ranging from small abandoned buildings to enormous castles and dangerous underground dungeons.

Discover isolated farmhouses, rustic windmills, forgotten settlements, ancient temples, elaborate mineshafts, and mysterious ruins.

Featured structure mods include:

Underground exploration

The caves and abandoned mines have received their own improvements.

YUNG's Better Mineshafts, Better Dungeons, Better Desert Temples, Better Jungle Temples, Better Witch Huts, and additional YUNG's mods expand and reimagine existing exploration content.

Find elaborate underground passages, forgotten temples, dangerous dungeons, and hidden treasures.

Discoveries that still feel special

Structure generation has been adjusted using Sparse Structures.

With multiple structure mods installed, the goal is to provide plenty of variety without filling every landscape with buildings.

Small settlements and ruins provide occasional discoveries, while enormous castles and major landmarks remain more unusual encounters.

There is always something to discover beyond the next mountain.


🌾 Build your own farming paradise

Hundreds of ingredients and countless culinary possibilities

Why settle for a small wheat farm when you could establish an entire agricultural settlement?

Beyond the Horizon includes all four modules of Pam's HarvestCraft 2:

  • Food Core
  • Crops
  • Trees
  • Food Extended

Grow a huge variety of crops, establish fruit orchards, harvest ingredients, and experiment with an extensive collection of foods.

Build a small vegetable garden, a sprawling agricultural estate, or an entire farming village.

With Dynamic Trees and its compatibility addons, supported fruit trees can become part of a naturally growing orchard.

A proper kitchen

Farmer's Delight expands Minecraft's cooking experience with cutting boards, cooking pots, stoves, ingredients, and new meals.

Additional food mods include:

  • Farmer's Delight Extended
  • More Delight
  • Fungi Delight

Build a rustic farmhouse kitchen, prepare elaborate meals, and experiment with different ingredients and cooking methods.

Pam's HarvestCraft and Farmer's Delight provide complementary food systems. Not every Pam's recipe uses Farmer's Delight's cooking equipment, but both offer their own extensive collection of foods and recipes.

From farm to automated food production

Once you have established your farm, Create allows you to take food production to the next level.

Create: Integrated Farming, Slice & Dice, and Create: Central Kitchen introduce additional ways to automate supported farming and food-preparation processes.

Design agricultural machinery, transport harvested ingredients with conveyor belts, and construct automated kitchens.

Turn a simple family farm into a thriving food-production facility.


⚙️ Build an industrial empire

Create — Mechanical engineering

Create forms the foundation of the modpack's mechanical automation.

Construct working machines using gears, shafts, belts, water wheels, windmills, and steam engines.

Automate resource processing, build elaborate factories, and design machinery that is as interesting to watch as it is useful.

The modpack expands Create with numerous addons.

Mechanical and industrial additions:

  • Create Crafts & Additions
  • Create: Diesel Generators
  • Create Ore Excavation
  • Create: Dragons Plus
  • Create: Integrated Farming
  • Create Deco
  • Create: Interiors

Build mining operations, mechanical workshops, automated farms, and industrial processing facilities.

Create: Diesel Generators introduces oil refining and fuel-powered engines, while Create Crafts & Additions allows you to connect mechanical systems with electrical energy.

With Create Ore Excavation, you can construct machinery to extract resources from underground deposits.

From a modest water-powered workshop to an enormous industrial complex, your machinery can grow alongside your settlement.

Electricity, advanced machinery, and industrial processing

Your technological progression doesn't stop with mechanical power.

Mekanism introduces electrical machines, industrial processing, advanced equipment, and extensive automation possibilities.

Mekanism Generators expands your options for producing energy, while Mekanism Tools and Mekanism Additions introduce additional equipment and gameplay features.

Immersive Engineering adds another layer of industrial machinery.

Construct large multiblock machines, build industrial processing facilities, and develop your electrical infrastructure.

Combine mechanical machinery, industrial equipment, and electrical automation to create elaborate production systems.

From storage rooms to digital networks

Every growing factory needs somewhere to store its resources.

Storage Drawers provides organized bulk storage for your farming products, building materials, and industrial resources.

Eventually, Applied Energistics 2 allows you to establish a sophisticated digital storage network with powerful item-management and autocrafting capabilities.

Organize your resources, automate production, and transform your settlement into a connected industrial base.


🏡 Build without limits

Create beautiful homes, workshops, and entire cities

Beyond the Horizon expands Minecraft's architectural possibilities with additional decorative blocks, customizable shapes, furniture, and building materials.

FramedBlocks allows you to create customizable architectural shapes using the appearance of other blocks.

Build detailed roofs, slopes, intricate walls, and architectural features that would be difficult to achieve with ordinary Minecraft blocks.

Rechiseled introduces a wide variety of decorative block patterns and material variants.

Rechiseled: Create expands those decorative possibilities with Create integration.

Additional building mods include:

  • Handcrafted
  • Supplementaries and Supplementaries Squared
  • Create Deco
  • Create: Interiors
  • Fusion Connected Textures

Whether you're designing a medieval farmhouse, a cozy cottage, a large industrial complex, or a modern mansion, you'll have many new ways to bring your ideas to life.


⚒️ Tools, equipment, and survival

Craft equipment that suits your playstyle

Silent Gear introduces customizable tools, weapons, and armor.

Experiment with different materials to create equipment for your adventures.

Specialized tools, including large mining hammers and tree-felling saws, make gathering resources for ambitious building projects more convenient.

Sophisticated Backpacks introduces upgradeable backpacks for carrying the supplies you need during long expeditions.

Additional quality-of-life features include:

  • JEI — Browse recipes and discover how to craft unfamiliar items.
  • Jade — Identify blocks, see which mod they belong to, and view useful information.
  • Just Zoom — Inspect distant landscapes and landmarks.
  • Sodium and Iris — Support the modpack's rendering and shader setup.

With extensive new equipment, storage options, and useful interface improvements, you can spend more time exploring, building, and creating.


👥 An adventure to share

Beyond the Horizon is designed with multiplayer survival in mind.

Build a shared settlement with your friends, establish specialized workshops, and work together on larger projects.

One player might explore distant mountains in search of new building materials. Another could establish a sprawling farm, while someone else designs a mechanical workshop or constructs an electrical power network.

Combine your efforts to build a thriving community surrounded by beautiful landscapes.

There is no need for everyone to enjoy Minecraft in exactly the same way.

Explore together. Build together. Create something extraordinary.
