Voided

Voided is a heavily immersion-focused modpack dedicated to making the player feel as though the world is older than they are.

The world is whole, and yet empty at the same time. What caused the void? They may be watching as you ponder that same question.

There is a reason the birds may stop chirping.

Playstyle & Intent:

This modpack is best experienced slowly. Exploration is heavily encouraged, and observation is often rewarded.

Voided is not designed around constant danger or action. Unease, silence, and presence are intentional parts of the experience.

Configuration Notes:

Most configurations are intentionally left at their default values.

The only exception is the Weather & Tornadoes mod remastered, where tornadoes are disabled by default to preserve the atmosphere. Tornadoes may be re-enabled manually in the WeatherMod.json configuration file if desired.

A manual list of mods that should be installed is included.

**The Advanced Wall Climbers API mod is required for the modpack to work. **

World Generation (Recommended):

World pre-generation using the Chunky mod is highly recommended, especially on lower-end systems or for players who are sensitive to immersion breaks caused by chunk loading.

Chunky can be found at https://modrinth.com/plugin/chunky and should be removed once world generation is complete.

Pre-generation is not required, but strongly recommended for the intended experience.

Resource Packs

The primary resource packs are recommended:

ModernArch

Modern Arch FA extension - To connect ModernArch to Fresh Animations

Fresh Animations

Two additional resource packs can be stacked for extra immersion:

Leaves-plus should be stacked on top of the chosen resource pack.

The Unobtrusive Weather resource pack is recommended for players who find heavy rain or storms visually overwhelming.

Shaders (Optional):

Custom shader settings are included as optional presets.

The recommended shaderpack is Photon. Complimentary Unbound or BSL are also supported. Hysteria is also recommended for players who wish to experience a more sparse, empty atmosphere.

Shaders are optional and not required.

Multiplayer:

MULTIPLAYER COMPATIBLE

Hardware & Performance Notes:

Voided is a large, atmosphere-focused modpack with dense world generation and extensive audio and visual systems. As such, Voided is very memory-intensive.

Recommended system (no shaders):

16 GB RAM (8-12 GB allocated)

Modern multi-core CPU

SSD strongly recommended

With shaders enabled:

32 GB RAM recommended (16 GB allocated)

Dedicated GPU required

Shader performance varies depending on the system and preset.

The following JVM arguments are provided as a reference for users who wish to manually tune performance.

-Xms8G -Xmx12G -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:G1HeapRegionSize=16M -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=200 -XX:G1NewSizePercent=20 -XX:G1ReservePercent=20

Lower-end systems can still play Voided by:

disabling shaders

reducing render distance

avoiding live world generation (pre-generation recommended)

Reducing or disabling DistantHorizons (see below)

Voided includes Distant Horizons to support large-scale exploration and visual continuity.

Initial LOD generation can be CPU and memory-intensive, especially in newly explored areas.

Players on lower-end systems may want to reduce the Distant Horizons settings or disable the mod entirely. The pack remains fully playable without it.

Voided prioritizes immersion and environmental continuity over minimal resource usage.

Additional Notes:

**A comprehensive mod list is included for transparency and to support users who wish to make additions or revisions.
