Most likely you are using an unofficial launcher. BM packs are featured on Curseforge and Modrinth. Using a third party launcher tends to break the file structure. Please use the CurseForge App or Modrinth launcher.
BM: Exosphere is a lightweight, all‑purpose pack featuring a unique sky‑island world generator.
Revelations is a more traditional kitchen‑sink pack, offering a larger mod selection with familiar world generation.
Each Beyond Mines modpack is accompanied by a ready-to-use server pack. It’s hidden behind the double-stacked icon next to your play button in the top right corner.
The “Hero of the Village” role on Discord highlights community members who have made exceptional contributions to Beyond Mines. This role is manually awarded for actions like helping other players, sharing or writing valuable articles, or even donating to support the entire Beyond Mines project.
The “Hero of the Village” role grants you exclusive access to a private community where you can participate in development-related votes, have prioritized chat with the Beyond Mines Team, and unlock a special cape in Beyond Mines modpacks.
We host a few standalone projects and a modified port of Exosphere 2 on Modrinth, but as the developer I prefer CurseForge and only there can I deliver the full, intended modpack experience due to mod licenses.
