Overview
When playing vanilla Minecraft, you may become bored with the usual process of exploring and becoming more powerful. Introducing FTB Interactions, an all-around modpack based on tech, magic, and more. Since there is not a specific theme, FTB Interactions can add as many mods as it desires to make gameplay more interesting. From travelling the world for rare technology to automating entire boss fights, FTB Interactions has something for everybody. Installing and beginning a modpack can be a bit confusing, so we have created this Apex Hosting guide to ease you through the process.

How to Get Started
Upon first spawning in, you should be on an island with a single tree. From here, we recommend checking your surroundings and inventory. Some of these include:
Island
As you can assume, this is a normal tree. This is helpful for obtaining wood and saplings early on.
Nearby there is a square of dirt. This can be helpful for planting more items or trees.
This table is able to turn one item into another. For example, you can input sand, then receive cobblestone.
These little glowing wisps are very helpful in the early game, as they keep your island lit up.
Inventory
By opening the lunch box, you can find some berries inside. This will be helpful to keep your hunger away.
The Tome of Knowledge will be the main item that is used in the transmutation table to turn into all available items.
Quest Book
Upon first opening the quest book, you will be prompted to create a team. Follow through and create a new team for your player.
After that, you can close and open the book once again. It should now have an entirely new menu with quest steps.
Overview of Quests
To begin the quests, press the large gear symbol, read through it, then press Accept
. Then, make sure to click the rewards on the right when completed.
From here, you can proceed down the list to the next quest. As you work through the quests, you will receive more rewards, as well as become further introduced within the mod.
Conclusion
With that, you should now have taken your first steps into the world of FTB Interactions. While you start on the tiny island, you will eventually move on and create a portal to the overworld. But be warned, what lies ahead may be treacherous and bring your doom. With time, you will grow your magic and technological arsenal, becoming the most powerful being in the world. Gear up for your adventure and hop into FTB Interactions!
Common Issues
I’m falling through the void/there’s no island:
Generally, this means that the level type was not correctly set in the server settings. Navigate to the Config Files, then make sure the level type is set to voidworld
. Then when you save, make sure to create a new world.
I get an error when joining the server:
Often, if a player is unable to join the server, it is because the modpack isn’t properly installed on your own computer. Ensure you are using the official FTB Interactions modpack from FTB to have all of the proper mods installed to join the server.
My server is stuck loading:
This often happens when a mod is removed from an existing world. You can force the world to load by going to the server console and entering /fml confirm. That should then load the world with the missing mods removed.
Modded items aren’t spawning in the server:
If the mods appear in the creative menu but are not properly appearing on the server, it often means the server is not properly using the modpack. Ensure that the server was switched to FTB Interactions through the panel and restarted to load it up.
