Installing modpacks is simplified with our one-click installer, so we have created this Apex Hosting tutorial to help you get started.

How to Get Started
When you first spawn in, you will have 3 items on-hand. The Quest Book, a Mossy Waystone, and an Astral Tome. While each of these items are useful, we will be turning our focus towards the Quest Book to get started.
Quest Book

To start, right-click the Quest Book, then open the “Welcome” quest in the center. Once you have read the information, press the checkmark near the top-left. This will complete the quest, allowing you to grab the reward.

Directly afterwards, return to the main quest menu, then open the pinned “Modded for Dummies” quest. Like before, read the information, check the task, then obtain the Modded for Dummies book reward. This book has information on various modded additions, including quests, Just Enough Items, gameplay tweaks, and more.
The last introductory quest requires you to craft a book, which will reward you with the Akashic Tome. Once this is done, you can hover over the left-hand arrow to view all the other various quest lines from the mod. These include building, adventures, challenges, and much more.

Akashic Tome

This Tome is the book of all books, allowing you to transform it into any other informational book from other mods. To use it, right-click the Akashic Tome while holding it to open the selection menu. Select the desired one, then you can then open the new book and read it like normal. Once you are done, left-click the air with your transformed tome to return it to its original form.
Example Mods
There are tons of mods added through Enigmatica 6, each ranging from exploration, tech, and much more. While we cannot list them all here, here are a few that you’ll find within this pack.

With the Biomes You’ll Go mod, it automatically adds tons of new biomes and areas to your game to explore. Large forests, colorful beaches, and much more await your exploration.

Tired of traveling by foot? Thanks to Waystones, you can teleport around your world with ease. Simply activate any waystone you find on your journeys to access it again later on.

One of the most expansive mods available, Create allows you to construct massive factories and contraptions to mine, build, craft, and transport which are fully automated.

Vanilla mobs are a thing of the past, Alex’s Mobs adds tons of brand new creatures to find in your game. Bears, tigers, birds, and much more await you throughout your world.

Looking to take your tools to the next level? Tinkers’ Construct allows you to forge customized weapons using a variety of materials. Automatically smelt ores, feed you, and much more.

Why have a base if the inside is not decorated? MrCrayFish’s Furniture mod adds chairs, tables, counters, and many more decorations to furnish the interior and exterior of any house.
Common Issues
I get a mod error when joining the server:
When this error occurs, it often means that the pack is running on the server, but may not be running properly on your own game. First, ensure you have installed the latest version of Enigmatica 6 through CurseForge, then launch it as normal. Afterwards, return and try to connect to the server once again.
My server is stuck loading/crashing:
Oftentimes, this will happen if a new world has not been generated after changing versions or adding the mod. If you were previously running version 1.17 or higher, visit the panel page, press the Change World button, then follow the prompts. Alternatively, visit the console tab, then enter in “/fml confirm” if the world is stuck loading.
Modded items aren’t spawning in the server:
When this error occurs on a server, it is usually caused by the mods running on the client, but not on the server. This can be confirmed by checking the modpack in singleplayer to see if everything works as intended. If this is the case, ensure you have switched your server version to Enigmatica 6 and restart the server when prompted. Once it finishes the restart, you can rejoin and try again.
