# 🌄 Beyond the Horizon ### Explore breathtaking worlds. Build your dream settlement. Engineer your future. **Beyond the Horizon** is a Minecraft 1.21.1 NeoForge modpack combining immersive exploration, beautiful world generation, extensive farming, creative building, and industrial automation. Discover towering mountain ranges, colorful forests, forgotten ruins, and distant castles. Establish your home in a quiet valley, grow an enormous variety of crops, and prepare elaborate meals in your own kitchen. Then take your settlement into the industrial age. Build mechanical workshops, automate your farms, refine oil, generate electricity, and develop a sophisticated factory powered by Create, Mekanism, and Immersive Engineering. Whether you prefer peaceful building, long expeditions, farming, or engineering complex machinery, there is always something new to discover. **Your world is waiting. What will you build?** --- ## 🌍 A world worth exploring ### Spectacular terrain and endless horizons Forget ordinary Minecraft landscapes. Beyond the Horizon combines several world-generation mods to create dramatic terrain, distinctive biomes, and beautiful natural environments. **World generation includes:** - [Tectonic](https://modrinth.com/mod/tectonic) — Enormous mountain ranges, deep valleys, dramatic cliffs, and more varied terrain. - [Biomes O' Plenty](https://modrinth.com/mod/biomes-o-plenty) — Beautiful forests, wetlands, vegetation, trees, and natural building materials. - [Oh The Biomes We've Gone](https://modrinth.com/mod/oh-the-biomes-weve-gone) — An additional collection of colorful, distinctive, and fantastical environments. - [Dynamic Trees](https://modrinth.com/mod/dynamictrees) — Trees that grow naturally over time, with more organic shapes and branching structures. Together, these mods transform the landscape into a world filled with new environments to explore and places to call home. ### See the world like never before [Distant Horizons](https://modrinth.com/mod/distanthorizons) allows you to see landscapes far beyond Minecraft's ordinary render distance. Stand on a mountain and look across enormous valleys, distant forests, and mountain ranges stretching toward the horizon. The modpack includes both [Complementary Reimagined](https://modrinth.com/shaderpack/complementary-reimagined) and [Complementary Unbound](https://modrinth.com/shaderpack/complementary-unbound), allowing you to choose your preferred visual style. Combined with Distant Horizons, these shaders create beautiful lighting, dramatic sunsets, atmospheric environments, and spectacular distant scenery. **Exploration has never looked quite like this.** --- ## 🏰 Discover forgotten places ### A world filled with secrets Exploration should feel rewarding. Beyond the Horizon introduces a large variety of naturally generated structures, ranging from small abandoned buildings to enormous castles and dangerous underground dungeons. Discover isolated farmhouses, rustic windmills, forgotten settlements, ancient temples, elaborate mineshafts, and mysterious ruins. **Featured structure mods include:** - [When Dungeons Arise](https://modrinth.com/mod/when-dungeons-arise) — Massive castles, fortresses, and dangerous adventure structures. - [Aures – Farmer's Structures](https://modrinth.com/mod/aures-farmers-structures) — Farmhouses, small homes, workshops, and agricultural buildings. - [Create: Rustic Structures](https://modrinth.com/mod/create-rustic-structures) — Rustic buildings and structures incorporating Create's industrial aesthetic. - [Towns and Towers](https://modrinth.com/mod/towns-and-towers) — New village and outpost designs. - [Repurposed Structures](https://modrinth.com/mod/repurposed-structures-forge) — Additional variations of familiar Minecraft structures. - [Moog's Voyager Structures](https://modrinth.com/mod/moogs-voyager-structures) — More structures to discover across the world. ### Underground exploration The caves and abandoned mines have received their own improvements. YUNG's Better Mineshafts, Better Dungeons, Better Desert Temples, Better Jungle Temples, Better Witch Huts, and additional YUNG's mods expand and reimagine existing exploration content. Find elaborate underground passages, forgotten temples, dangerous dungeons, and hidden treasures. ### Discoveries that still feel special Structure generation has been adjusted using Sparse Structures. With multiple structure mods installed, the goal is to provide plenty of variety without filling every landscape with buildings. Small settlements and ruins provide occasional discoveries, while enormous castles and major landmarks remain more unusual encounters. There is always something to discover beyond the next mountain. --- ## 🌾 Build your own farming paradise ### Hundreds of ingredients and countless culinary possibilities Why settle for a small wheat farm when you could establish an entire agricultural settlement? Beyond the Horizon includes all four modules of Pam's HarvestCraft 2: - Food Core - Crops - Trees - Food Extended Grow a huge variety of crops, establish fruit orchards, harvest ingredients, and experiment with an extensive collection of foods. Build a small vegetable garden, a sprawling agricultural estate, or an entire farming village. With Dynamic Trees and its compatibility addons, supported fruit trees can become part of a naturally growing orchard. ### A proper kitchen [Farmer's Delight](https://modrinth.com/mod/farmers-delight) expands Minecraft's cooking experience with cutting boards, cooking pots, stoves, ingredients, and new meals.
