Duck's Everything Thing: The Kitchen-Sink Modpack That Actually Delivers
Some modpacks promise the world and hand you a handful of half-finished tech mods. Duck's Everything Thing takes the opposite approach: it throws sluices, spaceships, nuclear reactors, and a fully stocked kitchen into a single package and dares you to run out of things to do. If you have ever wanted a pack where a mining trip can end with you piloting a rocket while your friend runs a restaurant, this is the one.
What Duck's Everything Thing Adds
The name is not false advertising. This pack is built around the idea that a great modded world should support every playstyle at once, from industrial engineering to casual cooking to full-on space travel. Here is a quick tour of the headline features:
- Sluices and resource gathering: Water-powered sluices let you sift materials out of flowing water, giving early-game resource collection a satisfying, semi-automated rhythm.
- Immersive tech and Create: A deep tech backbone built around immersive engineering mods and the ever-popular Create, so contraptions, conveyor belts, and rotational power become the heart of your factory.
- Food and cooking: A generous stack of culinary mods turns farming into a genuine pursuit, with new crops, recipes, and cooking stations that reward players who like to build a proper kitchen.
- Origins: Choose a unique origin at the start of a run and gain distinct abilities, which makes multiplayer adventures feel fresh every time you roll a new character.
- Space exploration: Yes, there is S P A C E. Build rockets, leave the overworld, and set up bases on other planets.
- JEI: Just Enough Items is included, so every recipe in this enormous pack stays searchable and readable instead of becoming a guessing game.
- Shops and currency: Player-run shops and a money system let servers build real economies, whether you are selling diamonds or dumplings.
- NuclearCraft: Because sometimes the answer really is N U K E S. Reactors, fuel processing, and radiation management await.
- Essentials: The Essentials mod makes playing with friends painless, covering the commands and utilities a shared world needs.
Because the pack covers so much ground, progression overlaps in interesting ways. A nuclear reactor can power your Create machinery, your kitchen can feed an entire server, and your sluice network can fund your first rocket. Few packs reward cross-discipline play this well.
Supported Minecraft Versions and Loaders
Duck's Everything Thing is designed for modern Minecraft releases, and it is most commonly played on the Forge loader, which is required by several of its core tech and nuclear mods. Before you download Duck's Everything Thing, double-check that your chosen Minecraft version matches the pack build you intend to use, since mod dependencies are strict and a mismatched version will crash on startup. If you are running a server, install the same loader and pack version on both client and server to avoid connection errors.
Players who would rather skip the manual file shuffling can grab the pack through the foxygame.net launcher, where Duck's Everything Thing sits in a curated catalog and installs with a single click, complete with automatic updates whenever the pack maintainers push a new build.
How to Install Duck's Everything Thing
Using a Launcher
The simplest route is a modpack launcher that supports the pack directly. Search for Duck's Everything Thing in the launcher's modpack browser, select the correct Minecraft version, and let it handle the downloads. The launcher will pull every dependency, including JEI and the tech mods, without you touching a single jar file.
Manual Installation
If you prefer doing things by hand, follow these steps:
- Install the correct loader for your Minecraft version.
- Create a fresh profile or game directory so the pack does not conflict with other installations.
- Place all mod files into the mods folder, keeping the versions listed by the pack author.
- Allocate at least 6 to 8 GB of RAM, since a pack this large is memory-hungry.
- Launch the game once, confirm JEI loads, then start a new world.
If the game crashes on the first launch, the culprit is almost always a version mismatch or insufficient allocated memory. Check the log, confirm your loader version, and try again.
Who Should Play This Pack
Duck's Everything Thing for Minecraft suits players who cannot pick a single niche. Builders get Create and immersive tech, explorers get origins and space, cooks get a full culinary suite, and server owners get shops, currency, and Essentials for multiplayer. The only real requirement is patience, because a pack this broad takes time to learn. Start with JEI open, pick one mod to master, and let the rest of the world unfold from there. Whether you are grinding sluices on day one or launching a rocket on day one hundred, there is always another system waiting to be explored.
