IIRC this one was never released to the public, but I loved the Yogscast series on their custom moonquest modpack. That series was my first introduction into the world of modded minecraft and I occasionally rewatch it to this day!
Argh back in the day (2011) I used to spend a few days trying to pull a MonoPack together. The number of conflicts I had to resolve was so high. MonoPack0 and MonoPack1 were the worst. After that the tools made it easier. By the time I did MonoPack6 it took like 10 minutes.
Oh god, Crash Landing...That modpack while hard left out one key bit of information regarding creepers and that is that hot stuff outside, it used to be a creeper magnet and due to how they functioned in the pack if you didn't disable mob griefing you ended up with this huge ass hole around that hot stuff because they kept exploding on death after touching the stuff.
I remember watching someone play Crash Landing before I got a minecraft account. The pack is a bit too outdated for me, and I'm sad that no one has made a modern version of it.
what I loved the most was not being able to craft the nuclear reactor and such stuff, and having to go to the city to loot some reactors. For some reason it felt right.
@@napalmstrike2007by nuclear reactors you mean Big Reactors? The cities that had the reactor buildings contained components to make a reactor and a turbine from Big Reactors
Yes! Hexxit was the one i was looking for! Its the earliest one i played, and the one I remember most fondly. A good mix of generated adventure dungeons and unique crafting gameplay, where you could choose to go either mad scientist or magic. Miss that one
I feel so fucking old. I remember hack/mine. I remember crash landing. I remember regrowth. I remember, not just technic, but tekkit. Jesus christ man... i really am getting old. I even played sevtech earlier this year.

Blood N' Bones is also up there. Arguably one of the best-designed difficult modpacks to this day because it maintains the vanilla feel while making you rethink how you play the entire game
I was just about to comment blood N bones because this was a pack I remember Ssundee doing and loved the anxiety it gave me with each episode as I didn’t know when the world would be deleted. Really wish there was a modern version of it but I also know if there was it wouldn’t be the same.
Two modpacks I think deserve to be up here are Agrarian Skies and Voltz. Agrarian Skies essentially created the skyblock questing genre and Voltz is just another unique and important modpack

God Agrarian Skies. we booted up a Agrarian Skies Sever few months ago and just playing that pack again just was so enjoyable. Voltz is also one of my favs. The Voltz comuity pack is the "newer" Is great but doesn't have the same Feel
I have a bad taste in my mouth when it comes to Voltz but that's purely my own fault. I didn't wanna go creative mode and spoil everything so when I found out what a Red matter bomb was and I didn't have enough time to get an anti matter bomb to cancel it, it was goodbye world.
Agrarian Skies is one OG modpack, if I'm not mistaken it was the first modpack to include a mod dedicated to quests with the book. Previously you needed to do things manually like Feed the Beast did.
I have some modpacks that I remember right now: 1. Captain Sparklez's Ultra Modded Survival 2. Atlantic Craft's Jurassic Craft 3. Attack Of The B-Team And there are many more that I would remember.
A modern modpack I've seen that appears to have a similar concept to Regrowth is FTB Genesis on the Feed the Beast launcher. Might be worth a shot for anyone who is a fan of Regrowth
There's also another dead mod from the same era with a similar concept, Blightfall. The goal is to survive in a pre-made world consumed by Thaumcrafts's Taint and slowly eventually work on cleansing it

Man, I loved Etho's Crash Landing playthrough. Fly Boys and FTB from the Mindcrack days are some other iconic modded Etho series'. And of course, can't forget Etho's Modded Minecraft, even if it didn't last long it was as sweet as it was short!

Every time I boot minecraft with mods I remember it
Man I really miss how tight the progression and how unified the mods from Voltz were. All the mods were built to be used with one another and it all kinda just felt like one giant mod because of it.
So, Crash landing kind of had a spiritual successor called Forever stranded which functions near identically. last update was on 3/30/24, but is on version 1.10.2
some of my perosnal favorites that are worth mentioning: - CrazyCraft: I grew up watching CrazyCraft and it was a blast to watch my favorite youtubers pull off insane stunts with the modpack - Attack of the B team: idk if this was popular but to me it was a classic, it's just right there on technic grew up playing that - Blightfall: funny story I was playing on an SMP and realized that Thaumcraft 6 is kinda underwhelming, then Blightfall just popped straight into my mind, the tainted landscape, story, custom progression, ores, map, now that was the good stuff, so good I finally decided after being scared or failing the modpack to try again and I actually started thriving, I personally think Blightfall was also one of the more top notch hardcore experiences to this day, highly recommend, and still playable on technic!
I remember watching Ssundee’s playtrough of crazy craft. It was my introduction to Minecraft modded and I find it to be one of the most nostalgic modpacks.
The Yogscast's Jaffa Factory series introduced me to not just Technic/Tekkit, but Minecraft mods as a whole. I still go back and binge that series every once in a while when i'm feelin down
seeing crash landing on the ancient modpacks list made me feel so old. when i think of ancient modpacks i think of hack/mine, your ftb monument completions (pax pack) etc
The Wither ---> brand new boss, just added to the game Enchantments needing 50 levels to get the best enchantments ---> most archaic thing ever, long before my time
@@minerman60101Minecraft -> a browser game you could choose to download. Creative mode -> Newfangled invention that came out within a week of me downloading the game after months of playing on chrome.
Great to see all the love given to the Yogscast in this video. I feel like most people these days overlook the massive impact the Yogscast had on Minecraft
BuildCraft is the best mod imho. Been patiently waiting for it to be updated to a new version for over 4 years now (latest version is 1.12, the dev is working on a newer version but no ETA when that will be)
Crazy to me how big the yogscast really was. I saw their videos at the time(albeit later than most notably the voltz one) but didnt really realize a large part of the modding scene was actively influenced by them
As someone whos been playing mc for close to 12 years, it is impossible to truly overstate how impressive these packs were on a technical level due to the state of the games coding at the time. You couldn't just drop a jar file into your mods folder, there was a process you had to go through, files you had to edit/delete entirely in order for certain mods to work, it was a genuine labor of love to get these working
Terrafirmacrft was great, agrarian skies, mindcrack, honestLy the list goes on for awhile. But im so glad you talked about the Feed The Beast modpack. I still go back and play that pack every now and then because i love it so much.
It’s over 5 years old, I think it’s fair to say it’s old enough to be forgotten. I had forgotten about it myself and we had a server set up for 3 months back in 2019!
Fun video, it was nice taking a trip down memory lane. It was also super cool to see the good old FTB Pyramid Map and Modpack I had the pleasure of working on get included.
Blightfall! That modpack was legendary for me when I was starting with Minecraft. It’s very similar to Regrowth in that you have to clear an island of alien taint using Thaumcraft. It combines magic and tech and uses hardcore questing to drive a storyline. I am surprised you didn’t mention it, but the ones you chose were just as good to me.
Similar vein to the technic packs mentioned, but Hexxit had tons of exploration. The Sky Den modpack was also great (learned about it from Captain Sparklez's series on it) Some of these old packs still show interesting game design that has not been replicated since.
Hexxit was also cited by JadedCat as one of the inspirations for Magic Farm/Agrarian Skies. Hexxit was the first major pack to include the Tinker's modpack where you build a smeltery and cast custom tools, and was probably important in popularizing it.
one modpack I'd have to say was pretty influential back in the say was the og agrarian skies. imo it was the first major innovation in a skyblock modpack since the original ftb and a lot if it's DNA can be found in modern skyblock modpacks like project ozone and skyfactory
Original project ozone came out in 2015, a year after agrarian skies. I think the big modern skyblock modpacks are Skyfactory and AllTheMods to the sky.
The good old days of modding, crash landing, blood'n bones, regrowth, agrarian skies, ftb packs. 1.6.4 -1.7.10 has to be my favourite time period of modpacks and mods in general
My favourite minecraft memory is still from 1.6.4 where I was in the Lion King Dimension, went a bit afield and found a Star Wars battle between droids and clone troopers raging and I just ran in to protect some squishy mobs no more than 50 blocks away.
I never forgot technic, i always have wanted to play it as a child but didnt have minecraft bought, and after getting it, i still haven't been able to find it on curse forge
Dear god you unlocked a memory with that Yogbox gameplay. I remember watching that particular video, with Simon waking up and the dolphin, using my parents dvd player that connected to the internet to play TH-cam videos, and was genuinely my first ever experience with Minecraft. I can’t believe that so many years later it wasn’t just me misremembering a video.
Honorable mentions to Agrarian Skies both 1 and 2 and the Material Energy series, specially the heavily underrated Factorio inspired Material Energy Capital. Also, found it weird that you want each modpack updated to the newest versions. Maybe modern re-imaginings and ports yeah. But updated it to another version of Minecraft? Impossible, too many mods are version exclusive and even updated can be heavily different from an mc version to another.
An old modpack I don't see get talked about that was a huge part of my childhood is Attack of the B team, and also it's sequel modpack Revenge of the C team, they were both mad by I believe GenericB who was a Minecraft TH-camr (I don't know if he is anymore or not)
was that the one on the technic launcher where there were like some huge 3-leg monsters/ robot things? I only ever really played Hexit on the technic launcher, and I remember that one looking cool but never trying it out
@@highgogoat I don't remember what launcher it was on, I do know that if you search it on TH-cam you'll find it, it was played so much by big names such as Stampy, IBallisticSquid, AshDub, JeromeASF, BajanCanadian, and whoever else was in GenerikBs circle
Pretty sure it was on the AT-Launcher. The problem is that whatever version exists is not the original version. For whatever reason, a lot of the mods got stripped from the pack when it went into legacy mode which made it less fun to play
PopularMMOs had a series called Epic Proportions. As far as I can tell, the modpack is custom and has never been officially released. There are fanmade versions, but I don't think Pat will ever return to make Epic Proportions public
FTB Horizons on 1.6.4 is my all time favorite, it introduced some lesser known mods at the time and really filled the overworld with a great variety of content in form of biomes, ores, structures and mobs. I got introduced to it through a yt series called Neuland. The thing that catched me was the unique world generation, you could get green and lush valleys that where surrounded by high snowy mountains on all sides, the perfect spot to build a starting base.
Idk if its classic, but there was a pack called "compact claustrophobia" which i would compare to skyblock. But is quite different as space was scarce and hard to come by to build your machines. Really neat, highly recomend looking i to it.
I wouldn't put it into the category "ancient modpacks you might have forgot about" though because even though it is relatively old it has had a lot of staying power because there haven't really been any newer packs of the same style.
@@jacksonmagas9698 @piman1607 that pack came out in 2019 my guys. Pretty sure the newest pack on this list is Sevtech Ages which came out in 2017. It's a great pack though and I always enjoy when a modpack includes CompactMachines. Also while not really the same, there are other packs with somewhat of a similar concept. I recommend you check out Stoneblock (1-3), Oceanblock and Astroblock. Essentially minecraft underground, underwater and on a space station. Also some packs he missed that I highly recommend: "Agrarian Skies" and "Project Ozone (1-2)"
I remember a mod similar to blightfall and crash landing. You start in a tainted world with a single building to use and as you complete the quests you can unlock more rooms in the building but I have no clue what the mod was called so if anyone knows please reply, I'd love to try it out again. Mods that I would of considered would probably be stuff like Agrarian Skies, Blightfall, Volts, Aether, and Hexit. In the end though we all played or watched different mods during those early days of minecraft so we'll all feel like something was left out just don't forget to have fun when playing those nostalgic mods again if you do, and if you don't well those nostalgic memories will forever be with you. Kind of like how when I think back on Ant farm survival maps, the old survival island maps, the original skyblock map, and so many other maps I will probably never play again but the fun from just remembering those times is something nobody can ever take away from us. (Just ignore the countless times creepers snuck up on you)
I haven't forgotten these modpacks. In fact, they are still my preferred way to play the game. I seldom ever play on game versions past 1.7.10, in my eyes, all the content I'm interesting in is in older Minecraft Modpacks.
Great list and history walkabout, honourable mentions I would add are "Agrarian skies", "Forever Stranded" and of course "Terrafirmacraft" . . .ohhh the wonderful memories 🤪
Seeing all these old modpacks really brought back my memory of an old one from the technic launcher called blightfall. You start in a little bubble and it's your job to slowly cleanse the planet of blight using thaumcraft features. God I love thaumcraft as a mod.
2:18 I remember Crash Landing, not from a TH-cam y’all expect I remember it from Felps, a Brazilian TH-camr, maybe you heard about him from QSMP, he did a series on that modpack ages ago, and I watched all of it, and I still remember it to this day. It has a place on my heart alongside Felps
Oh man...I remember watching the yogs vid on Yogbox when it first came out after I got done with my homework... Hearing it described as if folks never could have heard of it makes me feel ancient lmao
Man I really miss Blightfall. It's adventure map was so well done and the concept was amazing. The developer was actually working on a new version, but then Thaumcraft stopped updating and he had to scrap it
I’m surprised no one mentioned Material Energy and the subsequent sequels. I feel like it was towards being one of the first to have sequels to itself in terms of modpacks. It also had an okay story, and some pretty fun and unique play styles doing things with mods you probably didn’t even know you could do. (For example, the whole basis of it uses applied energistics to store physical space. How often have you used that mechanic?) There were also loads of quests, trophies, and even a metric load of secrets to find. (One of my favorite being in ME^4 before the modpack really begins, in an area you’re not allowed to return to, you can collect blocks and build out to other platforms to get a bunch of cool unique loot!) Also, the fourth installment came out around the same time as regrowth and crash landing and had at least a few series covering it (Direwolf and yogscast iirc). To me at least, these three were essentially a perfect trio of early modpacks.
I used to watch Meatwagon22 (and Y.A.W.) a lot when growing up and seeing it immediately show up made me happy with this video alone. Funnily enough I didn't watch a lot of Yogscast growing up except their showcases and songs. But recently I've loved their TTT series and been watching it ever since. Now on the Modpack side I've honestly loved Technic, Tekkit (probably from nostalgia) and Sevtech the most. I found Sevtech a few years ago was confused didn't like it, but then a sever i'm in started playing it and i got hooked after playing it for a few hours as I've always needed a since of guide/goal personally through like quests. Now I think its overall my favorite for how different it feels from a lot of Modpacks.
Man I miss buildcraft. Setting up a quarry and seeing all of it's mined items go through messy pipe systems made factory builds look so good. Pure organised chaos
Voltz was a classic back when I was in middle school. We had like 12 people from our school playing in teams of 3 or 4 and it only ended once everyone basically ended up nuking each other.
Played it but never properly progressed in it. I wasn’t good with decent systems engineering and I didn’t have the patience to do a lot of the grindy parts of the game right
Crash Landing is just impossible to forget to me, so many hours grinding and grinding was so satisfying. Many others like Forever Stranded, RogueLite Adventures and Dimension Zero also was in this list. Latelly I'm playing Craft to Exile 2, its pretty complex and have so many things to learn that I'm having a blast with its RPG system modded around path of exile.
i still play technic from time to time, its how my best friend and i meet. FTB was fun but i never really got far down to my poor laptop at the time would crash constantly
I don’t know if you’ve already done a video on it but what about those old Dwarves VS Zombies vanilla plugin servers. I haven’t seen one active in years.
Tekkit, Hexxit, and Crash Landing were my first experience with mods nearly a decade ago, they honestly defined both my childhood and the games I love now, including Minecraft! I wouldn’t love Rebirth of the Night or any Create pack without first falling in love with Crash Landing.
Agrarian Skies. Absolutely legendary modpack for the time. This was the pack that literally had the questing book developed for it, and revolutionized what a skyblock challenge map is. You had the crook for harvesting saplings to make dirt, and then sifting the dirt for pebbles for cobblestone and such. It predated everything using the questing book, including crash landing.
I will have to say that as famous at technic was back in the day is that pure BD craft texture pack everyone used with technic, that texture pack makes everything perfect and i absolutely love and adore it for that
I remember getting a cracked Technic launcher back in like 2012-2013 something like that. I couldn't buy Minecraft at the time as I was 12. So many good memories
I forgot what the name of the modpack is but there was a tiny frame in time between 2013 and 2014 where a modpack that contained mods like Biomes O Plenty, Ars Magica, Thaumcraft, Witchery, Moe Creatures, Twilight Forest, and more... got super popular amongst certain youtubers and eneded up making Minecraft feel very magical and fantasy-like....honestly my favorite type of Minecraft lets plays back in the days. Also one modpack that got super popular back in 2020 and quickly stopped being popular was RLCraft, it's like everyone tried RLCraft, varely made any proper progress and collectively decided to drop it.
Another modpack not mentioned that I played so much as a kid was Hexxit, the exploration of that modpack was so much fun, I always remember kid me being terrified of the Limbo dimension.
In the era of 1.7.10 hqm story packs I don‘t think anything can really hold a candle to Blightfall, it‘s so unique, so extremely well built, and it recently got a community update after several years.
AW MAN. I feel old. I remember ALL of these! I also remember Voltz (another iconic one from the Yogscast), FTB Unleashed (the "newest" large modpack for its time), and some others.
I never forgot Crash Landing - me and a few friends of mine played it a lot when we were younger, and once or twice every year we meet up at a lan party, start it from scratch to see how far we get. Though recently we kind of realized "Holy hell, it's been a decade since this first came out?!" Growing up feels weird, but it's important to know what to not let go of.
HE'S ALIVE! what other modpacks do you remember?
I remember the tnt one with so many and a dinosaur one aswell!!

They just wanted some copper 😂
I made a modpack on Modrinth based on Voltz called Wattz. Its updated to 1.19.2 and even has some additional mods. I recommend checking it out!
Man I really miss how tight the progression and how unified the mods from Voltz were. All the mods were built to be used with one another and it all kinda just felt like one giant mod because of it.

So, Crash landing kind of had a spiritual successor called Forever stranded which functions near identically. last update was on 3/30/24, but is on version 1.10.2
.
some of my perosnal favorites that are worth mentioning:
- CrazyCraft: I grew up watching CrazyCraft and it was a blast to watch my favorite youtubers pull off insane stunts with the modpack
- Attack of the B team: idk if this was popular but to me it was a classic, it's just right there on technic grew up playing that
- Blightfall: funny story I was playing on an SMP and realized that Thaumcraft 6 is kinda underwhelming, then Blightfall just popped straight into my mind, the tainted landscape, story, custom progression, ores, map, now that was the good stuff, so good I finally decided after being scared or failing the modpack to try again and I actually started thriving, I personally think Blightfall was also one of the more top notch hardcore experiences to this day, highly recommend, and still playable on technic!
I love Blightfall! It doesn't get enough love or recognition imo.
Thaumcraft 6 was left half-finished, but there are some great addons to it that go a long way toward fleshing it out.
I've been playing blightfall again recently for the past month and it's been so much fun!
I remember watching Ssundee’s playtrough of crazy craft. It was my introduction to Minecraft modded and I find it to be one of the most nostalgic modpacks.
@@tus9982 SAME! it was especially awesome when Crainer got introduced and they started the entire troll wars, man I miss the old days
The Yogscast's Jaffa Factory series introduced me to not just Technic/Tekkit, but Minecraft mods as a whole. I still go back and binge that series every once in a while when i'm feelin down
seeing crash landing on the ancient modpacks list made me feel so old. when i think of ancient modpacks i think of hack/mine, your ftb monument completions (pax pack) etc
Same
The Wither ---> brand new boss, just added to the game
Enchantments needing 50 levels to get the best enchantments ---> most archaic thing ever, long before my time
@@minerman60101Minecraft -> a browser game you could choose to download.
Creative mode -> Newfangled invention that came out within a week of me downloading the game after months of playing on chrome.
Great to see all the love given to the Yogscast in this video. I feel like most people these days overlook the massive impact the Yogscast had on Minecraft
oh my god i remember loving someone's regrowth series as a kid and I've been trying to remember the name of the modpack to this day THANK YOU
Not including Hexxit is criminal
Agreed
Hack slash mine
the build craft footage at the start gave me nostalgia on steroids
BuildCraft is the best mod imho. Been patiently waiting for it to be updated to a new version for over 4 years now (latest version is 1.12, the dev is working on a newer version but no ETA when that will be)
@@Myne1001 So you're saying there's hope for my 14 year old self?😍
@@actuallylcfr yes, yes there is
Agrarian Skies 1 and 2; and Regrowth will always hold a special place in my heart as the packs that reignited my passion for modded
Damn, now I want to play Regrowth while listening to Nightcore again...
Crazy to me how big the yogscast really was. I saw their videos at the time(albeit later than most notably the voltz one) but didnt really realize a large part of the modding scene was actively influenced by them
As someone whos been playing mc for close to 12 years, it is impossible to truly overstate how impressive these packs were on a technical level due to the state of the games coding at the time. You couldn't just drop a jar file into your mods folder, there was a process you had to go through, files you had to edit/delete entirely in order for certain mods to work, it was a genuine labor of love to get these working
Terrafirmacrft was great, agrarian skies, mindcrack, honestLy the list goes on for awhile. But im so glad you talked about the Feed The Beast modpack. I still go back and play that pack every now and then because i love it so much.
Terrafirmacraft was technically only one mod.
Just to give credit where credit is due.
I played sevtech literally yesterday, had no clue it was considered old, but I do like older games so I guess that would fly over my head
It’s really not that old of a pack
Yeah I'll be honest, sevtech looks too new to be included lol
@@jonusaguilar8156 It came out 7 years ago, so it is sort of old
It’s over 5 years old, I think it’s fair to say it’s old enough to be forgotten. I had forgotten about it myself and we had a server set up for 3 months back in 2019!
Fun video, it was nice taking a trip down memory lane.
It was also super cool to see the good old FTB Pyramid Map and Modpack I had the pleasure of working on get included.
i will never forget Technic. it was so mesmerising and so confusing. I used it and later TechnicLauncher for almost 10 years
Blightfall!
That modpack was legendary for me when I was starting with Minecraft. It’s very similar to Regrowth in that you have to clear an island of alien taint using Thaumcraft. It combines magic and tech and uses hardcore questing to drive a storyline.
I am surprised you didn’t mention it, but the ones you chose were just as good to me.
omg Blightfalls the best! They updated it a few years ago too for the plotline and bug fixes!✨
@@Cocoecake What did they do for the update? haven't played it in years
The old Tekkit pack was awesome, Equivalent Exchange, IC, and BuildCraft were incredible, even that early version of the Aether was insane
its kinda sad yet fun to take a look at this sometimes "dont be sad that it ended, be happy that you were there" kinda of feeling
Similar vein to the technic packs mentioned, but Hexxit had tons of exploration. The Sky Den modpack was also great (learned about it from Captain Sparklez's series on it)
Some of these old packs still show interesting game design that has not been replicated since.
Hexxit was also cited by JadedCat as one of the inspirations for Magic Farm/Agrarian Skies. Hexxit was the first major pack to include the Tinker's modpack where you build a smeltery and cast custom tools, and was probably important in popularizing it.
one modpack I'd have to say was pretty influential back in the say was the og agrarian skies. imo it was the first major innovation in a skyblock modpack since the original ftb and a lot if it's DNA can be found in modern skyblock modpacks like project ozone and skyfactory
Original project ozone came out in 2015, a year after agrarian skies. I think the big modern skyblock modpacks are Skyfactory and AllTheMods to the sky.
Tekkit Classic, and FTB Unleashed will forever be the two mod packs I had the most memories with. FTB Ultimate a close second place.
Can't forget FTB Infinity Evolved either, that pack brought so many people into the tech mod world
@@cyro4685 I played Infinity Evolved over and over I have likely tausends of hours in this pack, it brought me into modded minecraft...
Sky factory 1 deserves a spot, arguably the most iconic skyblock modpack in the early days
Seeing TheOnlyBentley 1:40 here is insane. Actually a huge throwback.
The good old days of modding, crash landing, blood'n bones, regrowth, agrarian skies, ftb packs.
1.6.4 -1.7.10 has to be my favourite time period of modpacks and mods in general
My favourite minecraft memory is still from 1.6.4 where I was in the Lion King Dimension, went a bit afield and found a Star Wars battle between droids and clone troopers raging and I just ran in to protect some squishy mobs no more than 50 blocks away.
I never forgot technic, i always have wanted to play it as a child but didnt have minecraft bought, and after getting it, i still haven't been able to find it on curse forge
Dear god you unlocked a memory with that Yogbox gameplay. I remember watching that particular video, with Simon waking up and the dolphin, using my parents dvd player that connected to the internet to play TH-cam videos, and was genuinely my first ever experience with Minecraft. I can’t believe that so many years later it wasn’t just me misremembering a video.
Honorable mentions to Agrarian Skies both 1 and 2 and the Material Energy series, specially the heavily underrated Factorio inspired Material Energy Capital.
Also, found it weird that you want each modpack updated to the newest versions. Maybe modern re-imaginings and ports yeah. But updated it to another version of Minecraft? Impossible, too many mods are version exclusive and even updated can be heavily different from an mc version to another.
omg. the beta ftb map versus series with direwolf and nearby. i must have watched that series 20 times by now. it lives in my head
A updated crash landing would make me so happy
An old modpack I don't see get talked about that was a huge part of my childhood is Attack of the B team, and also it's sequel modpack Revenge of the C team, they were both mad by I believe GenericB who was a Minecraft TH-camr (I don't know if he is anymore or not)
was that the one on the technic launcher where there were like some huge 3-leg monsters/ robot things? I only ever really played Hexit on the technic launcher, and I remember that one looking cool but never trying it out
@@highgogoat I don't remember what launcher it was on, I do know that if you search it on TH-cam you'll find it, it was played so much by big names such as Stampy, IBallisticSquid, AshDub, JeromeASF, BajanCanadian, and whoever else was in GenerikBs circle
GenerikB is still around and streams pretty regularly on YT and Twitch. Mostly plays modded Minecraft.
@@highgogoatyou are correct it was
Pretty sure it was on the AT-Launcher. The problem is that whatever version exists is not the original version. For whatever reason, a lot of the mods got stripped from the pack when it went into legacy mode which made it less fun to play
i had two "holy cow i love this game and will play it forever" moments- when i first played minecraft vanilla, and when i first played IC2 in technic.
PopularMMOs had a series called Epic Proportions. As far as I can tell, the modpack is custom and has never been officially released. There are fanmade versions, but I don't think Pat will ever return to make Epic Proportions public
The fourth and third season modpacks for EP were downloadable on the PopularMMOs website, not sure abt 1 and two though
I kinda love seeing the yogscast mentioned so much. usually I see them completeley ignored when it comes to these videos about "old minecraft stuff"
FTB Horizons on 1.6.4 is my all time favorite, it introduced some lesser known mods at the time and really filled the overworld with a great variety of content in form of biomes, ores, structures and mobs.
I got introduced to it through a yt series called Neuland.
The thing that catched me was the unique world generation, you could get green and lush valleys that where surrounded by high snowy mountains on all sides, the perfect spot to build a starting base.
Ars Magica was a really good mod in a lot of packs. Really miss seeing that one.
Idk if its classic, but there was a pack called "compact claustrophobia" which i would compare to skyblock. But is quite different as space was scarce and hard to come by to build your machines. Really neat, highly recomend looking i to it.
I wouldn't put it into the category "ancient modpacks you might have forgot about" though because even though it is relatively old it has had a lot of staying power because there haven't really been any newer packs of the same style.
@@jacksonmagas9698 @piman1607 that pack came out in 2019 my guys. Pretty sure the newest pack on this list is Sevtech Ages which came out in 2017.
It's a great pack though and I always enjoy when a modpack includes CompactMachines.
Also while not really the same, there are other packs with somewhat of a similar concept. I recommend you check out Stoneblock (1-3), Oceanblock and Astroblock.
Essentially minecraft underground, underwater and on a space station.
Also some packs he missed that I highly recommend: "Agrarian Skies" and "Project Ozone (1-2)"
Me and my Friends still play Attack of the B-team, such a classic modpack on the Technic Launcher
i dont know if its forgotten or not, but i loved the project ozone packs. i played those a bunch, especially project ozone 3.
I still rewatch Finbarhawks crashland series every couple of years, great series
“Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.”
I remember a mod similar to blightfall and crash landing. You start in a tainted world with a single building to use and as you complete the quests you can unlock more rooms in the building but I have no clue what the mod was called so if anyone knows please reply, I'd love to try it out again.
Mods that I would of considered would probably be stuff like Agrarian Skies, Blightfall, Volts, Aether, and Hexit. In the end though we all played or watched different mods during those early days of minecraft so we'll all feel like something was left out just don't forget to have fun when playing those nostalgic mods again if you do, and if you don't well those nostalgic memories will forever be with you. Kind of like how when I think back on Ant farm survival maps, the old survival island maps, the original skyblock map, and so many other maps I will probably never play again but the fun from just remembering those times is something nobody can ever take away from us. (Just ignore the countless times creepers snuck up on you)
I haven't forgotten these modpacks. In fact, they are still my preferred way to play the game. I seldom ever play on game versions past 1.7.10, in my eyes, all the content I'm interesting in is in older Minecraft Modpacks.
Great list and history walkabout, honourable mentions I would add are "Agrarian skies", "Forever Stranded" and of course "Terrafirmacraft" . . .ohhh the wonderful memories 🤪
Terrafirmacraft i believe eventually become a stand alone title but it was king to the realistic game play
Meatwagon22 and Theonlybentley were my childhood
Seeing all these old modpacks really brought back my memory of an old one from the technic launcher called blightfall. You start in a little bubble and it's your job to slowly cleanse the planet of blight using thaumcraft features. God I love thaumcraft as a mod.
2:18
I remember Crash Landing, not from a TH-cam y’all expect
I remember it from Felps, a Brazilian TH-camr, maybe you heard about him from QSMP, he did a series on that modpack ages ago, and I watched all of it, and I still remember it to this day. It has a place on my heart alongside Felps
O desastre
@@TheActualKnives Acertou
Uma das melhores séries de todo tempo 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Simplesmente uma das melhores
belos tempos
Oh man...I remember watching the yogs vid on Yogbox when it first came out after I got done with my homework... Hearing it described as if folks never could have heard of it makes me feel ancient lmao
you know that its good when Ryan uploads a video
Man I really miss Blightfall. It's adventure map was so well done and the concept was amazing.
The developer was actually working on a new version, but then Thaumcraft stopped updating and he had to scrap it
Attack of the B-Team!!!!!! such a fun and wacky combination of mods, I'll never get over the Witchery Mod and ChimneySwift11's playthrough
ChimneySwift11's Attack of the B-Team playthrough was iconic!
thank you so much for making this video, seriously. so many memories
I’m surprised no one mentioned Material Energy and the subsequent sequels.
I feel like it was towards being one of the first to have sequels to itself in terms of modpacks. It also had an okay story, and some pretty fun and unique play styles doing things with mods you probably didn’t even know you could do. (For example, the whole basis of it uses applied energistics to store physical space. How often have you used that mechanic?) There were also loads of quests, trophies, and even a metric load of secrets to find. (One of my favorite being in ME^4 before the modpack really begins, in an area you’re not allowed to return to, you can collect blocks and build out to other platforms to get a bunch of cool unique loot!)
Also, the fourth installment came out around the same time as regrowth and crash landing and had at least a few series covering it (Direwolf and yogscast iirc). To me at least, these three were essentially a perfect trio of early modpacks.
I used to watch Meatwagon22 (and Y.A.W.) a lot when growing up and seeing it immediately show up made me happy with this video alone. Funnily enough I didn't watch a lot of Yogscast growing up except their showcases and songs. But recently I've loved their TTT series and been watching it ever since.
Now on the Modpack side I've honestly loved Technic, Tekkit (probably from nostalgia) and Sevtech the most. I found Sevtech a few years ago was confused didn't like it, but then a sever i'm in started playing it and i got hooked after playing it for a few hours as I've always needed a since of guide/goal personally through like quests. Now I think its overall my favorite for how different it feels from a lot of Modpacks.
Dude, I remember when they were still called “dumb and dumber”
Blightfall is a very underrated 1.7.10 modpack
Man I miss buildcraft. Setting up a quarry and seeing all of it's mined items go through messy pipe systems made factory builds look so good. Pure organised chaos
One mod everyone seems to have forgotten about is adventure craft... Haven't heard about it in so long
Voltz was a classic back when I was in middle school. We had like 12 people from our school playing in teams of 3 or 4 and it only ended once everyone basically ended up nuking each other.
Who here played Agrarian Skies?
loooooved agrarian skies, gave me my love for skyblock
Played it but never properly progressed in it. I wasn’t good with decent systems engineering and I didn’t have the patience to do a lot of the grindy parts of the game right
One I remember was CrazyCraft, those were the day
I knew about the bunker one a long time ago also love your content
Yogbox, Crash Landing, Regrowth, Agrarian Skies 2 - my favourite, I come back to them every few months
I miss hexit
Blightfall is like a sci-fi Regrowth with a more fleshed-out story and better quest book. I highly recommend it.
Stoneblock is love Stoneblock is life.
Big Dig will forever be my favorite modpack it was my first modpack and it holds a special place in my heart
return of the sigma
Crash Landing is just impossible to forget to me, so many hours grinding and grinding was so satisfying. Many others like Forever Stranded, RogueLite Adventures and Dimension Zero also was in this list. Latelly I'm playing Craft to Exile 2, its pretty complex and have so many things to learn that I'm having a blast with its RPG system modded around path of exile.
i still play technic from time to time, its how my best friend and i meet. FTB was fun but i never really got far down to my poor laptop at the time would crash constantly
I don’t know if you’ve already done a video on it but what about those old Dwarves VS Zombies vanilla plugin servers. I haven’t seen one active in years.
Blood N Bones was just on another level, we need a part 2
Tekkit, Hexxit, and Crash Landing were my first experience with mods nearly a decade ago, they honestly defined both my childhood and the games I love now, including Minecraft! I wouldn’t love Rebirth of the Night or any Create pack without first falling in love with Crash Landing.
I still remember Uncle Genny playing Crash Landing! Such a classic, gave me chills to see that again.
Agrarian Skies. Absolutely legendary modpack for the time. This was the pack that literally had the questing book developed for it, and revolutionized what a skyblock challenge map is. You had the crook for harvesting saplings to make dirt, and then sifting the dirt for pebbles for cobblestone and such. It predated everything using the questing book, including crash landing.
Hi
One modpack I loved was middle ages where everything was set in the Middle Ages
I will have to say that as famous at technic was back in the day is that pure BD craft texture pack everyone used with technic, that texture pack makes everything perfect and i absolutely love and adore it for that
dude ive remember these modpacks forever how could i ever forget classics like crashlanding
i remember Crash Landing. I never played it, but i remember Direwolf and Pahimar playing it co-op
I remember getting a cracked Technic launcher back in like 2012-2013 something like that. I couldn't buy Minecraft at the time as I was 12. So many good memories
I forgot what the name of the modpack is but there was a tiny frame in time between 2013 and 2014 where a modpack that contained mods like Biomes O Plenty, Ars Magica, Thaumcraft, Witchery, Moe Creatures, Twilight Forest, and more... got super popular amongst certain youtubers and eneded up making Minecraft feel very magical and fantasy-like....honestly my favorite type of Minecraft lets plays back in the days.
Also one modpack that got super popular back in 2020 and quickly stopped being popular was RLCraft, it's like everyone tried RLCraft, varely made any proper progress and collectively decided to drop it.
14:26 WOW I haven't seen that texture pack in a long time
pure bdcraft? I use that like every day every modpack.
I’ve never forgotten about that thumbnail, also technic made many mod packs possible, hell I still use it
Man, this makes me feel old. Still, I remember replaying crash landing about 2 years ago. Its such an amazing experience
Another modpack not mentioned that I played so much as a kid was Hexxit, the exploration of that modpack was so much fun, I always remember kid me being terrified of the Limbo dimension.
In the era of 1.7.10 hqm story packs I don‘t think anything can really hold a candle to Blightfall, it‘s so unique, so extremely well built, and it recently got a community update after several years.
Regrowth is a modpack I go back to anually to just play, absolutely loved the concept!
AW MAN. I feel old. I remember ALL of these! I also remember Voltz (another iconic one from the Yogscast), FTB Unleashed (the "newest" large modpack for its time), and some others.
I never forgot Crash Landing - me and a few friends of mine played it a lot when we were younger, and once or twice every year we meet up at a lan party, start it from scratch to see how far we get. Though recently we kind of realized "Holy hell, it's been a decade since this first came out?!"
Growing up feels weird, but it's important to know what to not let go of.
