Gaia’s Riddle is a modpack that aims to change how you think and play in Minecraft. With dynamic environment and technology mods, Gaia’s Riddle is a moderately sized modpack where you now have to consider whether to try and control and dominate nature, or work with its already changed conditions and rhythms brought on by anthropocenic climate change. You will explore, build, and fight in a challenging world that feels alive and not always at your beck and call.
