Minecraft HMW Valheim LOCKDOWNProtocol

Open BlueMap

Us Apes are running Minecraft with a custom Modrinth modpack built to make the world feel huge, beautiful, and worth exploring for a long time. This world is going to feel extra special because we are using Tectonic and Terralith together, which means better terrain, better biome variety, more dramatic landscapes, and way more moments where you stop and just stare at the view.

On top of that, the pack includes our preloaded Voxy cache, so players can see very, very, very far! Big mountains, giant skylines, sweeping valleys, and huge horizon views hit way harder when the world is already ready to render out in the distance. This server is built for exploring, building, and making the map feel massive from the first minute you log in.

Why this pack is awesome

  • Tectonic + Terralith world generation
  • Preloaded Voxy for huge view distance
  • Modrinth install for easy setup
  • Protected base claiming with Get Off my Lawn mod

Quick start

  1. Install Modrinth
  2. Download our modpack
  3. Import the pack into Modrinth
  4. Optionally copy your settings and configs
  5. Launch and join the server

Server info

The server is set up for homoapes.com, and that should already be included in the modpack profile so it is easy to get in and start playing.


Install with Modrinth

To join the server, install Modrinth, then download and import our modpack. I will have a video on this page showing the full setup process, including how to install Modrinth, install our pack, and move over your existing Minecraft settings and mod configs.

Step 1: Install Modrinth
Download Modrinth App

Step 2: Download our modpack
Direct Download (Central US)
Cloud Download (Google Drive)

Step 3: Import the modpack into Modrinth
Open Modrinth, import a profile, and select the modpack file.

Nice quality-of-life tip: you can copy your options.txt and your normal Minecraft config files over to the new Modrinth instance so you do not have to set up your sound, controls, video settings, shaders, and other mod configs all over again.

Land Claiming: Get Off My Lawn Mod

We are also using Get Off My Lawn on the server. This mod lets players protect their builds and land by creating claims, which helps keep bases safe and cuts down on griefing. In simple terms: if you build somewhere important, you can reserve that area and make it yours.

There are two main parts players should know about: Claim Anchors, which are the base claim blocks, and Augments, which add extra effects or special behavior to your claim.


Claim Anchor Types

You can either craft the anchor block directly, or upgrade an existing anchor by using the upgrade item from the level below.
