Cottage Witch, a vanilla+ Minecraft modpack focused on the magic of exploration, nature, cooking, crafting, and the everyday.

Cottage magic is a type of modern, contemporary eclectic witchcraft practice that utilizes domestic magic. It emphasizes the magic in everyday things such as cooking, crafting, and decorating one's surroundings. Cottage Witch has a similar emphasis, expanding on the mechanics of cookery, artisanry, and decor - and, of course, magic. It enhances the natural world that your adventures take place in, both by overhauling biomes and wildlife.

 

It intends to mostly preserve the vanilla progression, augmenting it with balanced items and new mechanics. The pack also provides Quests to lead you through much of the content, making it suitable for those who are new to mods, or who prefer not to consult a wiki in another tab. You can find additional information about the pack and its mechanics in the Pages tab of this project.

 

The modpack now has TWO versions - 1.18 and 1.19. The 1.18 version is no longer supported. At their heart, this is the same modpack. However, 1.19 has a slightly altered modlist and many additional quests.


Update 3/11/22: Regarding Installation Errors -

 

Unfortunately Curseforge has introduced a bug which causes all versions of the modpack containing "BetterTips" to fail to install. You will instead get the error "Missing file for mod "The Hammer Tools Extension and More" (|D: 632142) in database. Aborting installation." I believe this is due to an issue with the way Curseforge references mods in the manifest.json file, which is what tells the launcher what to install. The most recent version/s of the modpack (1.8.8+)  should install correctly. However, unfortunately all older versions, including the 1.18 versions, are affected -  and to fix them would require manually recreating every single update without the BetterTips mod, which is not happening. Until Curseforge fixes this issue, please install only versions 1.8.8+ of the modpack. Thank you.

Feel free to comment with your own!

 

This modpack was designed to be used on mid-range computers, and 4-6gb of RAM is suggested. This modpack is also NOT compatible with OptiFine, but it includes Oculus if you want to use Shaders! All screenshots are taken using Complementary Shaders v4 - which is my favourite shader pack, and I highly recommend it!

They are a quality host with good products, good customer service, and a great community. You can host any modpack through them - or even other games if you like! - but if you want to host Cottage Witch, choose the 4gb server option if you have 5 or fewer players.
