(IDK) i dont know
Some modpacks are built around a single gimmick. (IDK) i dont know is the opposite. It is a kitchen sink experience that throws magic, tech, and exploration into one world, then turns the dial up to overpowered so you can actually survive the hard parts. The pack was originally made for boredom and to pass time, but it ended up as a surprisingly solid starting point for players who have never touched a modpack before.
If you have ever stared at a mod list and wondered where to begin, this is the pack for you. It eases you into systems like Refined Storage and Tinkers Construct while still giving veterans plenty of endgame goals to chase.
What Makes (IDK) i dont know Stand Out
The core idea is simple: give players a taste of everything. Magic fans get Thaumcraft, Astral Sorcery, and Blood Magic, complete with all the sacrificing that implies. Tech players get Mekanism, Ender IO, Actually Additions, and Flux Networks to automate just about anything. Explorers can wander into the Twilight Forest or descend into The Beneath for tougher fights and better loot.
Because the pack is deliberately overpowered, the steep learning curve of mods like Avaritia and Draconic Evolution feels less punishing. You can ramp up quickly, build absurd machines, and still have room to grow.
Magic, Tech, and Exploration in One World
- Magic: Blood Magic, Thaumcraft, Astral Sorcery, and Baubles for gear and rituals.
- Tech: Mekanism, Ender IO, Refined Storage, RFTools, and Solar Flux Reborn.
- Exploration: Twilight Forest, The Beneath, YAMDA, and JourneyMap to keep track of it all.
- Quality of life: JEI, Inventory Tweaks, Mouse Tweaks, Neat, and Waila-style tooltips.
- Storage: Storage Drawers, Iron Chests, QuantumStorage, and Refined Storage Addons.
Questing is handled through FTB Quests, so you always have a nudge in the right direction. FTB Money and FTB Beast Coin Miner add a light economy layer for players who enjoy that sort of thing, while Cosmetic Armor Reworked and MrCrayfish's Furniture Mod let you look good while doing it.
Supported Minecraft Versions and Loader
This pack targets Minecraft 1.12.2 and runs on the Forge loader, which is the standard for the era it was built in. That version is famous for having the widest mod selection ever assembled, and (IDK) i dont know takes full advantage of it. Expect stable performance once you allocate enough RAM, since packs of this size usually want 6 GB or more.
Performance and Compatibility Notes
Because so many mods are loaded at once, first launch can take a while. Give the game time to build its config files, then restart once before you start a serious world. After that, things settle down nicely.
For players who want a smoother setup, the foxygame.net launcher handles the whole process in a single click, pulling (IDK) i dont know straight into your instance list with the correct Forge version already attached, so you never have to match build numbers by hand.
How to Install (IDK) i dont know
Getting started is straightforward. Follow these steps and you will be mining within minutes.
- Install a compatible launcher that supports Forge-based modpacks.
- Search the modpack catalog for "(IDK) i dont know" and select it.
- Choose Minecraft 1.12.2 with the recommended Forge build.
- Allocate at least 6 GB of RAM in the launcher's Java settings.
- Launch the game, wait for the initial load, then create a new world.
If you prefer manual setups, you can also download (IDK) i dont know as a zip and drop it into your instances folder, but the automated route saves a lot of troubleshooting. Once you are in, open your inventory and check the quest book on the left side of the screen.
First Steps in Your New World
Punch a tree, craft a Tinkers Construct station, and start exploring the quest tree. Refined Storage should be an early priority, since it will save you from chest chaos later. From there, branch into whichever mod catches your eye. The pack rewards curiosity, and there is no wrong path.
If you enjoy this experience, the creator has other projects worth checking out, including a newer pack called NEW NWPK. But start here first. (IDK) i dont know is a welcoming, chaotic, and genuinely fun way to learn what modded Minecraft can be.
