MN - Beyond The Limit

  

 

Beyond The Limit

Every age breaks a Limit.

ProjectE is not your first afternoon. It is the last door.

 

---

The pitch

This is a tech + space + boss kitchen sink with an authored spine. You still get Create, Mekanism, AE2, Ad Astra, and Cataclysm — but skip tools are not free. Four pack-native Limit tokens sit on the recipes that would otherwise delete the campaign: Digital Miner, NASA workbench, rockets, MekaSuit, late Mekanism Extras, infinity tools, and more.

The Philosopher's Stone has no crafting recipe. Applied Energistics transmutation addons are stripped. The stone and the transmutation table are FTB Quest rewards at the end of the book.

Play it if you want a kitchen sink that still has a finish line.
Skip it if you want EMC on day one.

The ages

Age	Limit you break	What you actually do
Hunger	Starvation, distance, a dark first night	Farmer's Delight, Create mill / mixer, first Fractured Limit
Muscle	Kinetic power	Andesite line, belts, steam — Mechanical Crafter waits for a token
Energy	Matter and voltage	Powah → Mekanism infuser / steel. Digital Miner is not a starter tool
Knowledge	Inventory chaos	AE2. The controller is gated. Presses still come from meteors (or a late backup craft)
Death	You, repeatedly	Cataclysm, Alex's Caves, Mowzie, Apotheosis. Bosses pay Limit Shards
Gravity	The planet	Ad Astra. NASA bench and T1 rocket want a shard. The Moon pays Broken Horizon
Reality	The rules of the pack	Limit Core, then the stone — quest-only

Limit tokens

These items exist only in this pack (kubejs:). They are the currency of progression.

Token	Age	How you get it
Fractured Limit	Hunger	Stew + cobble + iron, Create milling / mixing, rare undead / dungeon loot
Limit Shard	Energy / Death	Four fractures + steel, diamond infuse, or bosses
Broken Horizon	Gravity / Knowledge	Desh (Moon) or an AE2 fluix path
Limit Core	Reality	Calorite or antimatter — then the finale quests

The quest book (``` by default) tracks the same ladder: 221 quests, 15 chapters, four groups. Vanilla advancements (press L) add a Break the Limit tab for the same milestones.

What is locked (on purpose)

Early game is not expert-masochist. Wooden tools, Create andesite, and the first Metallurgic Infuser stay open. What is locked is everything that deletes the pack:

• Ad Astra — NASA workbench, coal generator / oxygen / fuel line, T1–T4 rockets
• Mekanism — Digital Miner, teleporter, QIO, MekaSuit, SPS, atomic disassembler, Absolute→Infinite extras, Naquadah reactor
• AE2 — controller, growth accelerators, spatial IO (presses: meteor + expensive Horizon backup)
• Create — Mechanical Crafter, Rotation Speed Controller
• Industrial Foregoing / Ender IO — infinity tools, laser drill, travel / XP skip
• ProjectE / AppliedE — recipes removed, hidden in JEI

Requirements

Game	Minecraft 1.20.1
Loader	Forge 47.4.10 (CurseForge instance)
RAM	8 GB recommended (6 GB absolute floor)
Shaders	Complementary Unbound ships in shaderpacks/. Enable it under Video Settings → Shader Packs (Embeddium). Optional, strongly recommended.

Allocate RAM in the CurseForge app before the first launch. First boot compiles shaders and KubeJS; give it time.

Alpha

0.1.0-alpha. Expect balance patches: token costs, drop rates, quest rewards. Back up worlds. Recipe IDs can shift between alphas — prefer a new world after a content update.

Community / crash-help Discord is not public yet. Crash Assistant will fall back to Forge support until a pack link is added.

 FAQ 

Is this All the Mods?
No. ATM is a sandbox with everything unlocked. This pack uses the same kind of mods, then taxes the skip tools.

Can I rush the Moon?
Not on day two. NASA workbench wants an ultimate circuit and a Limit Shard.

I never found an AE2 meteor.
Meteors still spawn. There is a late backup: Broken Horizon + fluix + the matching material. The Inscriber itself is not gated.

Where is ProjectE?
In the last chapter. Crafting is disabled. Finish Ignis, Glacio, and the Infinite circuit line, then take the stone from the book.

Singleplayer or server?
Both. FTB Chunks is claims only (Xaero is the map). Waystones will not warp you onto Ad Astra planets.   Credits
