Don't try to pollute our world
Most tech modpacks hand you a stack of machines and tell you to go wild. Don't try to pollute our world does the opposite. It gives you the same industrial power, then punishes you for using it carelessly. Every furnace, every smelter, every generator you build leaves a mark on the land, and that mark can kill you if you ignore it for too long.
This pack blends heavy automation with an environmental survival system, and the result is one of the most thoughtful tech experiences you can have in Minecraft. If you have ever wanted a reason to plan your factory layout instead of spamming machines everywhere, this is it.
What Makes This Modpack Different
The core idea is simple. Pollution of the Realms tracks the waste your machines produce. Smelting ore, cooking food, and running industrial equipment all add to a growing cloud of contamination around your base. Let it build up and the consequences hit hard. You start getting sick, animals flee or die, and the land itself becomes hostile to anything living.
On top of that, the world is not friendly to begin with. Mobs are tougher than vanilla, so wandering out unprepared is a quick way to lose your progress. You need gear, you need a plan, and you need to think about where you put your machines before you flip the switch.
Main Mods and What They Do
The backbone of the pack is built around a handful of well-known tech mods, each pulling its weight:
- Immersive Engineering - multiblock machines with a satisfying industrial feel, and plenty of pollution potential
- Mekanism - ore processing, power generation, and late-game automation
- Pollution of the Realms - the mod that ties everything together with its contamination system
- ComputerCraft: Retweaked - programmable turtles and computers for automating the boring parts
- Create - mechanical contraptions and rotational power with a steampunk flavor
- Thermal Expansion - reliable, familiar machines for early and mid-game production
Secondary mods round out the experience. Pam's HarvestCraft adds farming depth, Dynamic Surroundings improves the atmosphere, Project E gives you a late-game resource sink, and mods like Botania, Blood Magic, RFTools, Quark, and Better End expand exploration and magic options. There is even a cat-themed mod in the mix, which is exactly as strange and fun as it sounds. Spice of Life: Potato Edition keeps food variety relevant, so you cannot survive on bread alone forever.
Supported Versions and Loader
Don't try to pollute our world is built for the Forge loader, which is what you need to run the pack properly. Forge handles the mod dependencies and keeps everything loading in the right order, so make sure your launcher is set to Forge before you start. Version support varies depending on the pack release you pick up, so check the pack page for the exact Minecraft version it targets. If you are on a newer Minecraft release and the pack has not caught up yet, you may need to wait for an update or run an older profile.
If you want to skip the manual setup, the foxygame.net launcher handles Don't try to pollute our world as a one-click install, pulling the correct Forge version and every dependency automatically so you can jump straight into your first world.
How to Install Don't try to pollute our world
Getting the pack running is straightforward once you know the steps:
- Install a launcher that supports modpacks, such as the CurseForge app or a similar tool
- Search for Don't try to pollute our world in the modpack browser
- Select the pack and choose the Minecraft version that matches the release you want
- Let the launcher download Forge and all required mods
- Allocate at least 4 GB of RAM, more if you plan to run large factories
- Launch the game and create a new world
If you prefer a manual route, you can download Don't try to pollute our world as a zip and drop it into your launcher's modpack folder, but the automated option is far less error-prone. Either way, give the pack a few minutes on first launch to generate configs and load everything cleanly.
Tips for Keeping Your World Clean
Spread your machines out instead of stacking them in one chunk. Trees and plants absorb some pollution, so keep a green buffer around your industrial zone. Build your smelting area away from your main base and your animal pens. Once you have Mekanism or Thermal Expansion running, invest in cleaner power sources early rather than burning coal forever. And always keep an eye on the pollution overlay so you catch problems before they spiral.
Don't try to pollute our world for Minecraft rewards players who slow down and think. It is a survival challenge, an automation sandbox, and an environmental puzzle rolled into one. Build smart, clean up after yourself, and your world will stay livable. Ignore the warnings, and the land will make you pay for it.
