February 2025 – The Minecraft modding scene is about to get a major expansion with the upcoming release of Automata: Lost Realms, an ambitious modpack designed to combine automation, exploration, and a rich lore-driven progression system. Built around the widely popular Create mod and its add-ons, this new modpack will challenge players to rebuild a long-forgotten civilization while uncovering ancient secrets buried deep beneath the surface.
A World Buried in Time
Set in a world shaped by the collapse of the Artificers of Aeon, a technologically advanced civilization that once mastered automation, players must traverse a land where remnants of this lost era still linger. The Great Collapse buried much of their knowledge underground, and only by piecing together the past can players unlock the tools needed to shape the future.
The modpack offers a linear yet flexible progression system, allowing players to choose how they want to rebuild civilization. However, progress is locked behind quests, meaning players must work through challenges and gather key materials before gaining access to advanced technology and powerful automation tools.
The Core Features of Automata: Lost Realms
✔ Create Mod & Add-ons: The heart of the modpack revolves around the Create mod, offering mechanical contraptions, moving structures, and intricate automation chains.
✔ FTB Quests Integration: A structured questline guides players through unlocking new tiers of technology, resource collection, and exploration.
✔ Locked Progression: Certain aspects of the world—like dimension access—are restricted until players complete key quests, ensuring a rewarding sense of accomplishment.
✔ Nether Keystone Mechanic: Unlike vanilla Minecraft, the Nether is locked at the start. To access it, players must craft a Nether Keystone, requiring them to explore and gather specific resources from the Overworld before they can step into the fiery depths.
✔ Automatic Dungeon Generation: Ancient ruins, buried vaults, and automated defense systems lurk beneath the world’s surface, offering loot and challenges to those brave enough to enter.
✔ Expanded Building Options: With an extensive variety of decorative blocks and functional structures, players can build both aesthetically pleasing bases and highly efficient automated facilities.
A New Take on Progression and Survival
The locked progression system in Automata: Lost Realms ensures that players can’t simply rush into endgame technology. Instead, they must earn their way by completing quests that lead to better machinery, advanced crafting recipes, and access to new dimensions. The modpack balances survival, exploration, and industry, making it appealing for both builders and tech-savvy players alike.
With deep lore, engaging mechanics, and a focus on automation, Automata: Lost Realms is set to become a must-play for Minecraft modding enthusiasts. Whether you’re a fan of the Create mod or enjoy uncovering ancient mysteries, this modpack offers an experience unlike any other.
Development Team & Release
Automata: Lost Realms is currently in development by GamingHQ, led by Noize and team member SenorYones. We are actively working on refining gameplay mechanics, quest progression, and lore integration to ensure a polished and immersive experience.
The modpack is expected to release later this year, with more details, including early access testing, to be revealed soon.
