Sky ages
by cswitchot
Sky ages is a Forge and NeoForge mod for a survival island start, where a player begins on a single island and progresses through stages.
What it does
The mod places the player on a starting island with dirt and no obvious way off, and the progression is built as a skyblock style path. Tools and mechanics appear along the way, and the first stage is called Root, which covers the early game. The author notes a modpack built around the mod is planned for later.
Automation and future technology are listed among the planned areas, along with more advancement items and stages. The author says the multiplayer side is being fixed and a wiki is expected later. Just Enough Items (JEI) is an optional dependency that helps players look up recipes and items, and the mod is open source under the MIT License. It runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it, and files cover 1.20.1 and 1.20.6.

What the author says
You're trapped on a dirt island by an "evil" dev (me) and you cannot escape (I think) If you're stuck use JEI, REI or EMI and if this doesn't work try asking in comment. I will try to respond as soon as possible. I will create a modpack later to use FTB quest and other mods to help in the progression, but for now you…
