Our notes on Vault Hunters Third Edition
What sets it apart
Vault Hunters Third Edition comes from Iskall85Team and is described by its authors as an action RPG inside Minecraft. It runs on Forge for Minecraft 1.18.2.
The structure is unusual for a modpack. According to the project page, players gain levels, spend them on talents and abilities, and build a base and farms in the normal world to support runs into the vaults. The long goal is to collect 25 artifacts and then beat a final boss. The page adds that defeating the boss opens a further tier of loot called Greed, introduced in Update 21.
The pack is built around the team’s own Vault mod, with a supporting cast for base building. CurseForge’s dependency list, which showed 168 entries when checked, includes Applied Energistics 2, Botania, Building Gadgets, Botany Pots and Alex’s Mobs.
Who it suits
It suits players who like repeatable dungeon runs with loot and character builds, and who want a home base that exists to feed that loop. The level and talent systems make it closer to a role-playing game than to an open sandbox.
Players who want free access to tech mods from the start may find the structure restrictive. How mods are unlocked is not described on the project page read for this entry, so check the official wiki before committing.
Before you install
The authors’ getting started section on the project page tells players to set the allocated memory slider in the launcher to 8192 MB, which is 8 GB. No lower minimum is published there.
There are two official packs with similar names. The project page links a separate pack called Vault Hunters Third Edition Remastered. Make sure the right one is selected.
The page links an official website, a wiki and a Discord. No source repository is listed.
Playing with friends
Official server files exist. The CurseForge listing showed a server files archive for version 3.21.7, dated July 30, 2026, along with an older one from December 2022.
The project page does not give self-hosting steps. It promotes BisectHosting as a verified partner with an automated install for the pack. The official wiki is linked from the project page, but its server pages could not be read for this entry, so manual setup is not summarized here.
Server memory requirements are not documented on the project page. The authors do not state on that page how vault runs work with multiple players.
