Revenge of the Frame Quarry
Most modpacks hand you a quarry and let you drown in ore. Revenge of the Frame Quarry does the opposite. This is a deliberately stripped-down automation pack where the easy paths are removed and the interesting ones become mandatory. If you have ever wanted a pack that forces you to think about logistics instead of just scaling up, this one deserves a look.
What Makes This Modpack Different
The defining design choice is simple: many blocks have been disabled. That single decision reshapes the entire progression curve. You cannot lean on the usual shortcut machines to brute-force your way to resources. Instead, the pack pushes you toward more complex and creative automation, where every production line is something you actually built and understand.
As the name suggests, frame quarries become your primary route to raw materials. If you are used to plopping down a single block and walking away, expect an adjustment period. Frame-based mining rewards planning, spatial reasoning, and a willingness to iterate on your designs.
Core Systems You Will Rely On
Frame Quarries
These are the backbone of your resource acquisition. Because conventional mining options are limited, a well-designed frame quarry is not optional content — it is your lifeline. Expect to spend real time tuning speed, chunk boundaries, and unloading.
Charcoal Pits
Early power and smelting depend heavily on charcoal production. Charcoal Pits turn tree farming into an industrial process, and getting the ratios right matters far more here than in a typical kitchen-sink pack.
Complex Farms and Mob Grinders
Food, drops, and renewable materials come from farms and grinders you construct yourself. The pack rewards players who enjoy designing compact, efficient systems rather than copying a tutorial build verbatim.
Autoverse Logistics
Autoverse networks tie everything together, letting you route items across a base that will inevitably sprawl. Building a clean logistical backbone is arguably the most satisfying part of the whole experience, and it scales with however ambitious you want to get.
Supported Versions and Loader
Revenge of the Frame Quarry for Minecraft is distributed as a modpack rather than a standalone mod, so the loader and Minecraft version are pinned by the pack itself. Before you commit to a world, check the pack page for the exact Minecraft version and mod loader it targets, since mixing versions will break the disabled-block configuration that defines the experience. If you plan to add extra mods, verify they match the same loader and version range.
If you would rather skip manual file juggling, the foxygame.net launcher handles Revenge of the Frame Quarry as a one-click install from its add-on catalog, and it keeps the pack updated automatically whenever the author pushes a revision.
How to Install
Getting started is straightforward once you know the steps.
- Install a launcher that supports modpack imports, or use the foxygame.net launcher for a one-click setup.
- Locate Revenge of the Frame Quarry in the pack browser or import the pack archive directly.
- Confirm the Minecraft version and loader match what the pack specifies.
- Allocate at least 4 GB of RAM, more if you plan to expand the pack.
- Launch once to generate configs, then start a fresh world.
When you download Revenge of the Frame Quarry, resist the urge to immediately bolt on extra tech mods. The disabled blocks are the point, and adding mods that restore those shortcuts quietly removes the challenge you came for.
Who Should Play This
This is not a pack for players who want instant gratification. It is maintained casually by a single person, so bug fixes arrive slowly and updates are infrequent. That said, the author has mentioned future plans for minor recipe changes and higher-output ore processing for metals that Mekanism does not cover, which suggests the pack will keep evolving.
If you enjoy engineering, constrained problem-solving, and bases that grow organically around Autoverse networks, this pack offers something genuinely uncommon. The scarcity is the feature, not the flaw.
Final Thoughts
Revenge of the Frame Quarry is a niche pack with a clear identity. It trades convenience for depth and asks you to earn every ingot. For the right player, that trade is exactly what makes Minecraft automation fun again. Set up your frame quarry, wire your logistics, and see how far a little scarcity can push your creativity.
