All the Mods 9: To the Sky

What sets it apart

To the Sky is the skyblock edition of All the Mods 9, made by the ATM team for Minecraft 1.20.1 on Forge. The team’s guide site calls it the third in their line of sky packs and says it was shaped by feedback on the first two.

Resource gathering is built around Ex Deorum and Ex Machinis: Divitiae Deorum, an automation add-on for it that the ATM team built in-house. The guide says that add-on is meant to carry players from early manual sieving through to automated resources late in the game.

The team describes it as its most open-ended pack so far. The project page also names a few mods that were new to the ATM series with this pack: Forcecraft, Forgiving Void, Oreberries Replanted and Utilitarian.

Who it suits

It suits players who like the broad ATM mod selection but want the constraint of starting from nothing. The open-ended framing means there is room to pick favorite tech or magic mods instead of following one fixed route.

Players who want a tightly scripted expert pack will find this looser than that.

Before you install

The official release timeline gives May 30, 2024 as the launch date. CurseForge shows version 1.1.9 as the latest file, dated April 24, 2026.

The authors do not state a client RAM figure on the project page or the pack’s guide page, and they do not state a mod count there either.

Issues are tracked in the pack’s GitHub repository.

Playing with friends

Official server files are published. The ATM server guide explains where: on the CurseForge project, open Files, choose a version, and look under Additional Files for the Server Files zip. CurseForge lists ServerFiles-1.1.9 as the current one.

The guide’s steps are to extract the zip (not into a cloud-synced folder), run the startserver script, let the first run finish, set eula=true, and restart. It advises leaving the server IP and port settings alone in most cases.

For memory, the guide says most ATM packs need at least 6 GB allocated on a server, adjusted through the -Xms and -Xmx lines in user_jvm_args.txt. It does not give a figure specific to To the Sky. It also says to use the Java version that matches the pack’s Minecraft version.

For updates, the guide says to back up the world, then replace the mods, config, defaultconfigs and kubejs folders from the new server files.
