Our notes on MC Eternal 2
What sets it apart
MC Eternal 2 is a very large Forge pack for Minecraft 1.20.1 by adam98991, with Emperdog credited as a pack developer. The author calls it a kitchen sink pack with hundreds of quests and challenges. CurseForge’s dependency list counted 649 entries when checked for this entry, which makes it one of the heavier packs in this catalogue.
Several pieces are custom rather than borrowed. The project page describes a dedicated mining dimension called The Great Below and a Tinkers Construct add-on named Tinker Tantrum made for the pack. It also describes a quest book tied to quest coins and a quest shop, plus an in-game tutorial for newcomers.
The mod list on the project page spans tech (Create, Mekanism, Applied Energistics 2, Ad Astra), magic (Ars Nouveau, Iron’s Spells ‘n Spellbooks, Botania), mobs and bosses (Alex’s Mobs, Alex’s Caves) and colony building with MineColonies.
Who it suits
It suits players who want one long world that mixes automation, spellcasting, boss fights and exploration, with quests available as a guide. The tutorial the author mentions is aimed at people new to modded play, though the hardware demands below work against that.
It is not a good choice for older or low-memory machines.
Before you install
The author publishes hardware guidance on the project page: at least 16 GB of system RAM, with 8 to 10 GB allocated to the game, and a relatively modern CPU. For shaders, the page says the graphics card needs to support Oculus. If performance is still poor, the author suggests playing on a server instead of a local world.
One detail from the page that affects early planning: Osmium ore only generates in The Great Below.
The CurseForge file list shows the earliest public file in June 2025 and version 1.3 in September 2026, so the pack was still being updated at the time of writing.
Bugs are reported through the GitHub issue tracker linked from the project page. No wiki is listed there.
Playing with friends
Official server files exist. The project page lists a server pack for version 1.3 alongside the client release.
The author notes that the pack ships with Chunky, a world pre-generation tool, which is commonly run on servers before players join. The page also promotes BisectHosting as a partner offering a preconfigured server for the pack.
Step-by-step instructions for self-hosting are not documented on the project page, and the author does not publish a separate memory figure for servers. The pack’s Discord, linked from the project page, is the support channel the author points to.
