MoreLore v3 Moves to NeoForge

MoreLore v3 is almost here! I have been doing a lot of early testing and so far, the game play feels like it's in a good spot to start releasing Alpha builds. So, what's new? Minecraft 1.21.1, Create v6.0.4, and a new home on in the NeoForge ecosystem. The main reason for the mod loader change is the slow port schedule of the Fabric version of Create. Create quickly became the main “tech” mod in our pack, due to it's vanilla feel and breadth of features. We feel like it is a core component of what we want in a modded Minecraft experience, and the Fabric version just hasn't kept up with our expectations. So, what does this mean for our server? We're starting a new map!

Starting today, the modded server will come down and the map will be made available for download. The team and I will begin work on our new Map. During this time, the server will be whitelisted to staff only. I expect it to be back open for the public by July 1st. I don't think this will really be an impact since we haven't had a solid player population since 2023. I will put more information out on our Discord channel. In the meantime, here's a quick breakdown of the core mods that stuck around:

Regions Unexplored and Ad Astra, were removed. While I don't expect Regions Unexplored to come back into the pack, I am still on the fence about Ad Astra. Early alpha builds should start showing up on Curseforge in the coming weeks - pending their approval process. Here's the current, and complete, list of mods at the current stage of testing:
