What's old is new again

What is ModFest?

ModFest is a collaborative Minecraft modding virtual event designed for modders, artists, builders, and players alike!

Teams or individuals create mods matching any of the themes in a limited time.
Then, they're invited to build showcase booths in a world along with all the other participants.
Once the showcase server opens, anyone can join to check out the submissions and vote on their favorites.

No prizes, no pressure; just mods!

World Theme

Welcome to Stasis! You'll get used to it.

It's said that long ago, the great dragon Epoch swallowed whole our prosperous village.

Ever since, fragments of time have rained down from the heavens - technology, resources, and even people - dazed and confused, grasping for a semblance of familiarity.

And so, to protect our society and ways of life, the town of Stasis was cleaved into "ages" - Stone, Iron, Industrial, and Information. Each meeting only at the Temple of Epoch - where we pray for good harvests, safe travels, and low compile times - a reminder that despite our differences, we are one people.

From dinosaurs to castle walls, and smokestacks to server racks - the town of Stasis could be many things - so you decide! After all, who's to say what the townsfolk believe is even true?
