## The Story<\/p>\n
> **17 ages. 9 dead civilizations. 12 eyes. You don’t start with a quest \u2014 you start with hunger.**<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## Hero Blurb<\/p>\n
The world you wake in is not the first world.<\/p>\n
Nine civilizations rose before you. Each found fire, built farms, forged steel, split the atom, and reached for the End. None survived. Their ruins are your landscape. Their bosses still walk the biomes they worshipped. Their scrolls are buried in the chests they died defending. Somewhere in the dirt there is a recipe for a Command Block that ends worlds \u2014 and a scroll, written by someone who watched it happen before, warning you not to craft it.<\/p>\n
**Sinborn Odyssey 2** is a 414-mod Forge 1.20.1 modpack built around one idea: the history of human civilization, played from the inside. You begin in the Paleolithic with nothing but hunger. You end past nuclear power, standing at a portal frame with twelve empty sockets, deciding whether to step through.<\/p>\n
Not a kitchen-sink pack. Not a fantasy RPG. Every mod earns its place in a seventeen-age progression gated by hand-written research scrolls. You don’t advance by grinding. You advance by *learning*.<\/p>\n

## What Makes This Different<\/p>\n
### \ud83d\udcdc The Scroll System
\nAges aren’t unlocked by crafting the right item. They’re unlocked by finding a **research scroll**, placing it on a pedestal with key items, and waiting while the knowledge internalizes. 90 scrolls, each tied to a specific mod cluster. Some are quest rewards. Some drop from specific mobs. **One is hidden.** No other 1.20.1 pack uses knowledge as its gating mechanic \u2014 this is built on History Stages, a mod almost nobody else touches.<\/p>\n
### \ud83c\udffa Seventeen Anthropological Ages
\nNot tech tiers. Not fantasy ranks. Real anthropology: *Born from Ash and Hunger \u2192 The Kindled Road \u2192 The Rotting Gate \u2192 The Long Pour \u2192 The Spoken Word \u2192 The Scalded Earth \u2192 Blood and Oil \u2192 Below the Waking World \u2192 The Eleven-Eyed Hunt \u2192 The Pale Shore \u2192 Where the Skin Tears \u2192 The Kingdom You Build \u2192 The Shattered Law \u2192 What the Void Remembers \u2192 After the Dragon \u2192 The Long Road Home \u2192 Lords of All.* Each age has its own tech tier, food mods, combat options, and biome focus. You feel when one opens.<\/p>\n
### \ud83d\udc41 The Twelve Eyes
\nVanilla End Portals are gone. In their place: twelve unique eyes, each the legacy of a dead civilization. Nine are crafted from boss drops (Cockatrice, Frostmaw, Leviathan, Kukulkan, Maledictus, Chaos Construct, Nucleeper, Warped Mosco, Scarlet King). Three are direct drops (Wither, Elder Guardian, Ignited Revenant). Every boss you kill is someone’s last guardian. **You become what you defeat.**<\/p>\n

## Pack DNA<\/p>\n
Sinborn wears its influences on its sleeve. If you’ve played these or watched these, you already know what this pack is:<\/p>\n
| | |
\n|—|—|
\n| **Dungeon Meshi** | Food as philosophy. Ecosystem worldview. The dungeon is a living system that eats you back. |
\n| **Frieren** | Scrolls as the legacy of the dead. Time as the cost of understanding. Slow knowledge that survives you. |
\n| **FMA: Brotherhood** | Equivalent exchange. The Manifestor is the Philosopher’s Stone. Bosses are embodied sins. |
\n| **No Man’s Sky** | Questbook as expedition spine. The cycle as simulation. What persists is Remembrance. |
\n| **MC Story Mode** | The Wither Storm as literal presence. The lie under the legend. Command Block as corrupting power. |
\n| **Darkest Dungeon** | *”Sentenced to be a hero.”* You didn’t choose this. The previous cycles left you the bill. The estate is the problem, and you inherited it. |<\/p>\n

A custom Food Memory system remembers every unique food you’ve eaten and periodically nudges you toward something you haven’t.<\/p>\n
### \u2694\ufe0f Combat Has Depth
\nSimply Swords, Better Combat, Dungeons & Combat classes (Forgotten Knight, Titan, Oni Slayer, Exiled), Iron’s Spellbooks (9 schools, 60+ spells), Celestisynth cosmic gear, Cataclysm ignitium\/cursium, Ice & Fire dragonsteel, Aquamirae crystallization weapons, Call of Yucatan obsidian arms, Mowzie’s Mobs drops, Dracolotl, Ender Trigon.

### \ud83c\udf0d World is Built, Not Generated
\nTerralith’s 84 biomes, Desertification’s desert overhaul, Alex’s Caves’ six biome dimensions, Ice & Fire’s dragon ecosystems, Aquamirae’s frozen ocean ruins, Call of Yucatan’s Mesoamerican temples, Dungeon Now Loading, Endergetic Poise Forests, Sully’s Mod.

Every stat visible. Every punishment recoverable.<\/p>\n
### \ud83d\udcb0 Cogs, Not Emeralds
\nAll villager trades \u2014 vanilla, MCA Reborn, wandering traders \u2014 use **Numismatics** currency. MCA village taxes collect cogs. Villager Recruits hires mercenaries with cogs. Bountiful bounty boards pay in cogs. The economy speaks one language.<\/p>\n
### \ud83c\udfd8 Society Layer
\nMCA Reborn villagers with marriage, children, professions. Villager Recruits for paid mercenaries and sieges. Companions and Critters & Companions for pets. Bountiful + Extra Bounties for bounty boards. Antique Atlas + Via Romana milestone fast-travel (no waypoints \u2014 you find the Roman road and walk it). Exposure film camera, Etched + Xerca + Vinyl Disc music, Vista spyglass views. Culture is not decoration; it’s an entire scroll chapter.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## Curated, Not Kitchen-Sink<\/p>\n
Better MC adds 500 mods. Vault Hunters builds around one dimension. Prominence II is Dawncraft with lore. Sinborn is none of those.<\/p>\n
Every mod was chosen to fit **one** of the 17 ages. If a mod didn’t belong to a civilizational phase, it was cut \u2014 that’s how this shipped at 414 instead of 600. Three Let’s Do mods (Bakery, Brewery, Candlelight) were removed mid-development for exactly that reason.<\/p>\n
**No mod is filler.** Every item has a home in the scroll tree, a place in a quest reward, or a role in the age system. If you find a Cocktail Tool from Beach Party, it’s because the *Herbal Arts* scroll unlocked it. If you pull a Scarlet Crown, it’s because the Manifestor asked you to.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## On the Horizon<\/p>\n
v2.X is not the end. In active development for future versions:<\/p>\n
– **Automail Mod** \u2014 Sinborn-original FMA-inspired prosthetics system: limb loss from specific damage sources, surgical medbed, comfort mechanics, swappable power sources, cannon arm, spell loader arm, dragon-soul-sealed limbs. Real cost for real power.
\n– **Food Deity NPC** \u2014 a wandering food deity with a temple, custom MCA trades, and their own Heracles questline. Inspired by Dungeon Meshi’s Senshi.
\n– **Mob-drop-only scroll structure backup** \u2014 loot table injection for the 10 scrolls currently only obtainable via mob kills, so unlucky RNG never locks a run.
\n– **Server-side polish** \u2014 ServerCore tuning preset, JVM arg recommendations for 16GB hosts.<\/p>\n
See [Dev Log](Sinborn%20Odyssey%202\/Dev%20Log.md) for build history.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## Recommended Specs<\/p>\n
– **Java:** 17 (Azul Zulu or equivalent)
\n– **RAM:** 10\u201312 GB minimum, 14\u201316 GB recommended
\n– **Render distance:** 12 (client) \/ 6 (server)
\n– **GPU:** Embeddium included; Sodium-tier performance on modest hardware
\n– **OS:** Windows, macOS, Linux all tested<\/p>\n
## Server Note<\/p>\n
Dedicated server pack ships separately on this listing. **339 server-side mods**, 65 client-only excluded. Server pack builder is documented in the repo. For PebbleHost or similar: upload the server ZIP, set Java 17, give it 14GB. Recommended `view-distance=6`, `simulation-distance=4` to prevent tick lag. We’ve seen rubberbanding on hosts that try to run at vanilla view distances \u2014 turn them down.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## Known Issues<\/p>\n
– **Critters & Companions:** Ferrets can crash on attack. Avoid or wait for mod update.
\n– **Cryptic Eye:** End Remastered occasionally lets the enchanting table bypass the scroll gate. Tracked upstream.
\n– **Tide:** Creative-mode interactions with the fishing journal can crash. Survival-only is safe.
\n– **First login spam:** Server logs may show `ServerRecipeBook: Tried to load unrecognized recipe… removed now` \u2014 harmless pruning of stale player profile data from previous versions.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## Together or Alone<\/p>\n
Sinborn was built with solo runs as the default frame \u2014 the loneliness is part of the world. Nine civilizations died alone. Yours probably will too.<\/p>\n
But the systems all open up under co-op. Lifesteal hearts pass between players. Numismatics cogs flow through shared villager economies. MCA villages can be settled by a party. Bountiful boards distribute hunts across a server. The Wither Storm scales for a group. The Twelve Eyes hunt is faster \u2014 and louder \u2014 with three friends. Build a town with roles: one in the Magic schools, one running the Create line, one mapping with Antique Atlas, one feeding everyone from the kitchen. The 17 ages mean nobody runs out of progression to chase.<\/p>\n
SMP-tested. Faction-friendly. You can also just farm vegetables in a meadow with one friend and never touch the End. The pack lets you.<\/p>\n

Updates, support, screenshot dumps, occasional optional SMP info \u2014 all in the same place.<\/p>\n
