We focused a lot of the mods on QOL and decorative stuff, but also wanted some sense of power and progression so we have a few tech/magic mods. A few standout examples are Industrial foregoing, RFtools, Iron’s spells n’ spellbooks, Silent tools, Framed, Chipped, and much more (106 in total!). We also plan on adding a few more mods when they update for the version we’re on.

Welcome to our Minecraft server, where we treat our virtual animals with the utmost care and respect! Just like how OP cares for their working cats, we make sure our virtual animals are well-fed, vaccinated, and have all the amenities they need to thrive in the game.

Join us and experience the thrill of managing your own virtual farm, complete with working cats who have important roles to play. But beware, just like Lucy the feral cat, some of our virtual animals may not be used to being overly pampered and may require a different kind of care.

And if you ever encounter a player like Jane who just doesn’t understand the unique needs of our virtual animals, feel free to snap at them in the chat! After all, defending the well-being of our virtual animals is no joke.

So come join our Minecraft server and show off your skills in animal care and management. Who knows, you might even make some new virtual furry friends along the way!
