    Worn by royalty, once.

  2. Radiant Eye

    Don't stare at it too long.

    Held by Sun Spirit

  3. Cold Eye

    It never thaws.

    Held by Frostmaw

    Still too hot to hold. Somehow you manage.

    Held by Ignis

  5. Cursed Eye

    Its last owner would not recommend it.

    Held by Netherite Monstrosity

  6. Restless Eye

    It hasn't blinked in a very long time.

    Held by Maledictus

  7. Sunken Eye

    Smells faintly of the sea.

    Held by Scylla

  8. Abyssal Eye

    From somewhere very deep and very dark.

    Held by Leviathan

  9. Ashen Eye

    What's left when everything else burns.

    Held by Harbinger

  10. Iron Eye

    Heavier than it looks.

    Held by Ferrous Wroughtnaut

  11. Forgotten Eye

    Nobody remembers whose it was.

    Held by Ancient Remnant

  12. Ember Eye

    Warm, like the first light of morning.

    Held by Umvuthi

The twelve eyes floating over an End portal frame in a stronghold

The rite

Gather all twelve and take them to a stronghold. Right-click a portal frame and they fly into place: the portal to the End is waiting.

Across the world

The twelve bosses are spread across the Overworld, the Nether and the Aether.

Two editions

Fabric and NeoForge are the same game, but each has bosses, lands and creatures the other doesn't. To see everything, you need to play both.

Questions

Which version of Minecraft does Fantasy MC NeoForge use?

Minecraft: Java Edition 1.21.1, with the NeoForge mod loader. Fantasy MC NeoForge 1.0 is one of two editions of Fantasy MC; the other is Fantasy MC Fabric. It doesn't run on Bedrock Edition, so not on consoles or phones.

What's the difference between Fantasy MC NeoForge and Fantasy MC Fabric?

They're the same game, and each has things the other doesn't: ten of its twelve bosses, three of its seven races, and some of its lands and creatures. The mods only NeoForge has include Even Better Nether, Atmospheric, Autumnity, Environmental, Mowzie's Mobs, L_Ender's Cataclysm and AstikorCarts Redux, and the ones only Fabric has include Cinderscapes, Terrestria, Traverse, Critters and Companions, Aquamirae, Bosses of Mass Destruction and NiftyCarts. To see everything, play both.

Which races can I play in Fantasy MC NeoForge?

Seven: Human, Dwarf, Wood Elf, Ogre, Dark Elf, Goblin and Troll. Dark Elf, Goblin and Troll are only in the NeoForge edition. Each race is better with one or two kinds of weapon. You choose when you first join, and an Orb of Origin, found in ancient city chests, lets you choose again.

Which bosses are in Fantasy MC NeoForge?

Twelve: Valkyrie Queen, Sun Spirit, Frostmaw, Ignis, Netherite Monstrosity, Maledictus, Scylla, Leviathan, Harbinger, Ferrous Wroughtnaut, Ancient Remnant and Umvuthi. The Valkyrie Queen and the Sun Spirit come from the Aether and are in both editions; the other ten come from L_Ender's Cataclysm and Mowzie's Mobs.

How do I get to the End in Fantasy MC?

Defeat twelve bosses. Each one holds a different eye, and once you have all twelve, take them to a stronghold and right-click an End portal frame: the eyes fly into place. Eyes of Ender still lead you to the stronghold, but they won't fit the frame.

Is Fantasy MC hard?

Your first days play like vanilla Minecraft. The challenge is the bosses, and an Ender Dragon that fights harder than vanilla's.

Does Fantasy MC NeoForge include performance mods?

Yes. Sodium, Lithium, ModernFix and FerriteCore are built in, among others.

Can I play Fantasy MC NeoForge with friends?

Yes. Rent a server from BisectHosting (code PIXELDREAM takes 25% off your first month), host the server pack yourself, or open your world to LAN: the pack includes e4mc, which gives you an address friends can join from anywhere.

What changed in Fantasy MC 1.0?

Version 1.0 rebuilds the pack from the ground up, around the vanilla game, and the End now opens with the eyes of twelve bosses.

Who makes Fantasy MC?

Pixel Dream Studios, a team of modders from around the world. It started in 2021 as FantasyCraft, a pack made for playing with friends.
