Race To The Moon - RELAUNCHED: The Legendary Space Race Modpack Returns
If you ever watched Stampy, IballisticSquid, or the Yogscast race to build rockets and colonize the cosmos, you know exactly what magic feels like. That golden era of modded Minecraft is back, polished and ready for a new generation. Race to the Moon – Relaunched is not just a modpack; it’s a time capsule restored with modern performance, rebalanced mechanics, and every bit of the original’s heart.
What Makes This Revival So Special
Race to the Moon – Relaunched faithfully brings back the iconic 1.7.10 experience that defined multiplayer space races. You start on Earth with nothing but a pickaxe and a dream. From there, you’ll mine, craft, automate, and industrialize your way through a tech tree that spans from simple BuildCraft pipes to Galacticraft rockets. The goal? Be the first to set foot on the Moon, then push onward to Mars and beyond. Every original mod from the YouTube series is present, untouched and authentic: Galacticraft, BuildCraft, IndustrialCraft², Thermal Expansion, Applied Energistics, Tinkers’ Construct, and many more. No replacements, no compromises—just the real deal.
Performance That Keeps Up With Your Ambition
Old modpacks often struggled with lag, crashes, and chunk loading nightmares. This relaunch tackles those issues head-on. Under the hood, Angelica (a Sodium-based renderer), ArchaicFix, Hodgepodge, and BugTorch work together to deliver massive FPS boosts, faster chunk loading, and crash-free sessions. You get the same classic look and feel, but now your factories and lunar bases run smoother than ever.
Rebalanced for Fair Competition
The original pack had its share of exploits, infinite loops, and duplication bugs that could ruin a race. Those have been carefully patched, ensuring a level playing field. You’ll still find creative ways to outsmart your friends—just not by breaking the game. The focus is on genuine engineering, clever automation, and efficient resource management.
Classic Mods, Modern Touches
While the core remains firmly 1.7.10, the inclusion of Et Futurum Requiem backports newer Minecraft features directly into this version. Updated world generation, modern blocks, items, mobs, and subtle visual polish make the world feel alive. It’s a bridge between old-school modded Minecraft and the comfort of newer versions, all without losing the nostalgic charm.
Getting the pack up and running is straightforward, but if you prefer a truly seamless experience, the foxygame.net launcher offers a convenient, flexible, and modern way to install Race to the Moon – Relaunched directly from its menu, letting you jump into the space race without fussing over manual setups. That kind of ease fits perfectly with a pack built for quick multiplayer sessions.
Key Features at a Glance

World Generation Options
When creating a new world, you can choose between two distinct terrain styles. Biomes O’ Plenty delivers the colorful, diverse biomes you remember from classic modded adventures. Alternatively, Realistic Terrain Generation (RTG) uses BoP biomes to create smoother, more natural landscapes. Pick whichever suits your building and exploration style.
Built for Multiplayer Mayhem
Race to the Moon – Relaunched is designed with multiplayer at its core. All mods are server-compatible and tuned for competitive balance, so you can recreate the iconic challenge with friends or start a brand-new rivalry. The pack also works seamlessly with E4MC for fast, no-setup multiplayer, making it easier than ever to invite others to your space race.
System Requirements and Setup
This modpack runs on Minecraft 1.7.10 with the Forge build listed in its manifest. For client play, allocate 3–8 GB of RAM; servers should use 4–12 GB. While Java 8 works, using Java 17 or newer is strongly recommended for best performance and compatibility with modern hardware. To enable the latest Java, install Eclipse Adoptium’s Java 17 or 21, activate lwjgl3ify in the mod list, then point your launcher to the new Java executable. On Windows, that path might look like C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium\jre-21\bin\javaw.exe. On macOS, /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/temurin-21.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java, and on Linux, /usr/lib/jvm/temurin-21-jre/bin/java. After that, just click Launch and you’re off.
A Love Letter to Modded Minecraft’s Golden Age
Every mod in this pack belongs to its original creators. This project simply brings them together again—cleaned up, fixed, and optimized—to celebrate the legacy of IballisticSquid, Stampy, and the Yogscast’s unforgettable space adventures. Special thanks go to the teams behind Railcraft, MineFactory Reloaded, IndustrialCraft², BiblioCraft, Mouse Tweaks, Waila, and the GTNH team, whose work made this nostalgic journey possible.
Race to the Moon – Relaunched is both a nostalgia trip and a fresh experience. It tells the same story through a smoother lens, inviting you to build, explore, and race your way beyond the stars once more. Whether you’re reliving childhood memories or discovering the magic for the first time, the countdown has begun. Are you ready to launch?
