Ariadne
...is yet another kitchen-sink pack, featuring 200+ mod .JARs as of the time of writing.
⚠️ 2025 warning: this modpack was made in the very early days of Modrinth modpacks, when there were very few "mainstream" mods available, especially for Quilt. But I thought it would be fun to make a "kitchen-sink" pack anyway, with the more obscure mods on the platform. It was a fun experiment, and an interesting alternative to the more "standard" large packs on CurseForge, even if more janky and wacky in a lot of ways. Anyway, just be aware that Modrinth has matured a lot since then, and this modpack is not representative of the current state of the platform.
What sets it apart from others?
- The list of balance changes will be kept very small, which is not unusual for a modpack of this kind. However, when we improve mod compatibility, we prefer to contribute these changes directly to mod developers themselves, for the benefit of the whole Modrinth/Quilt ecosystem.
- As an example, we have submitted 70+ recipes for better mod compatibility to Kiln.
- KubeJS is used to unify items, and some mods are gated behind "ultimate alloys"
- This pack has been playtested to some extent, though full stability is still not guaranteed.
- Embrace little imperfections and accept impermanence of the world~
- What we mean by that is, expect bugs, and make backups regularly. We also recommend that you play with cheats enabled in case of item loss caused by glitches.
- Embrace little imperfections and accept impermanence of the world~
- Custom advancement trees for mods, based on different mod categories, as a lightweight alternative to "quests".
- Nothing too fancy here, typically just a single advancement for crafting a specific item for each mod.
- Ariadne is Modrinth-exclusive! And runs on Quilt!
- Ariadne does not compromise: the only non-Modrinth mods shipped at this moment are some library mods and Pling, all of which are free software.
Feedback
We try to include most decently high-quality Modrinth/Quilt mods but we may have missed some gems. You can join the Discord to offer suggestions, no need to be shy even if you're advertising your own mod!
