What is FTB Skies?

FTB Skies is a Forge modpack for Minecraft 1.19.2, published by FTB Team on FTB App since 2023.

It fits the quests, technology and magic categories. It is distributed through FTB App, not Modrinth, so this page is written by hand from public sources instead of an API.

Our notes on FTB Skies

What sets it apart

FTB Skies is the FTB team’s skyblock pack for Minecraft 1.19.2 on Forge. The player lives on a floating island and builds outward using a mix of tech and magic mods, with a quest book steering progress.

A few details on the official pages separate it from older skyblock packs. The CurseForge page says players begin aboard the FTB Airship and step through a portal to their own island, with five island designs to pick from. It also mentions custom villages in the sky and an in-game event system that FTB describes as exclusive to its packs.

The mods named on the FTB page include Create with Create Sifting, Mekanism, Refined Storage, Applied Energistics, Botania, Elemental Craft, RF Tools, Hostile Neural Networks and Eye of Legend. Sifting through Create is the notable twist on the usual skyblock resource loop.

Who it suits

It fits players who want a guided skyblock with familiar big-name mods. The quest book and island choices make it a reasonable first skyblock for someone who already knows modded basics.

Before you install

FTB lists at least 4 GB of RAM, with 6 GB recommended, and Java 17.

The FTB page gives April 11, 2023 as the pack’s release date and June 11, 2026 as its most recent update, and CurseForge shows 1.9.1 as the current file. So the pack was still being maintained in 2026.

Neither official page states how many mods are included. The pack is distributed through the FTB App and is also listed on CurseForge.

Playing with friends

Official server files are published. The FTB page links them from its Versions tab and from the Server Files browser on the FTB site.

The FTB Docs guide explains that the download is an installer program, not an archive. It pulls down the pack and a suitable Java version on its own. The guide says not to rename the installer, since the file name tells it which pack to fetch, and to launch the finished server with run.bat on Windows or run.sh on Mac and Linux.

For memory, the guide says most FTB packs need at least 4 to 6 GB on a server and refers readers to the Requirements section of the pack page. How islands are shared or assigned between teammates on a server is not documented on the pages reviewed.
