Minecraft Mod Gems – Craft to Exile 2

If you’ve ever wanted Minecraft to stop pretending it’s a chill sandbox and start acting like a full-blown, loot-crazed action RPG, then let me introduce you to your next obsession: Craft to Exile 2. This modpack, cooked up by Mahjerion and available on CurseForge, isn’t just another “kitchen sink” pack with random mods thrown together. It’s a finely-tuned, lore-backed, gear-grinding, quest-slapping monster of a game that just happens to run on Minecraft 1.20.1. And it’s the most fun I’ve had in a modded world since I first discovered Tinkers’.

What makes Craft to Exile 2 hit so hard? For starters, it’s built like an ARPG—think Diablo meets Minecraft. You’re picking classes. You’re unlocking talent trees. You’re equipping legendary gear, support gems, skill synergies, and grinding through a literal five-act campaign. This isn’t just survival with extra steps. It’s Minecraft reimagined with the soul of Path of Exile and the flow of a looter-shooter. The systems here aren’t just bolted on; they’re fully integrated. There are over 250 quests. There’s a full endgame. There’s Uber bosses. There’s a mapping system. There’s even a prestige layer that lets you ascend and flex even harder. Oh, and did I mention controller support and full VR compatibility? Yes, this thing runs on a Steam Deck.

And it’s not just combat or loot. Exploration’s been dialed up too. New dimensions like The Otherside, Undergarden, and Twilight Forest give you fresh biomes to plunder. The Overworld, Nether, and End aren’t safe either—they’ve been rebuilt and packed with custom structures, unique mobs, and dungeons that don’t pull punches. On top of that, you’ve got village management, cooking, Botania, farming, player housing—you name it. The whole package is dripping with depth and polish.

The real kicker is how it respects your time. The progression is tight and rewarding. Every level you gain, every talent point you invest, every drop you analyze—it all feels meaningful. You’re not just punching trees until your soul leaves your body. You’re chasing loot, building loadouts, planning respecs, and diving deeper into systems that actually talk to each other.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the modpack’s top-tier features:

You can also download the .zip directly from the modpack’s CurseForge page and import it manually into your launcher of choice. Planning to play with friends? Hosting it via services like Apex or Pine Hosting is dead simple too—they all support one-click installs for the pack. If you’re going the DIY server route, just grab the latest server .zip (currently 1.0.7), load it up with Forge 1.20.1, and allocate plenty of RAM (8GB+ is the sweet spot).
