What is the SUPERIOR - RPG modpack?

SUPERIOR - RPG is a Forge modpack for Minecraft 1.20.1 by Chummycho, built around character progression: 14 classes, 250+ custom abilities, 500+ quests and 100+ bosses. It's published on CurseForge, where it has passed half a million downloads.

What sets it apart from a typical adventure pack is the glue: tens of thousands of lines of hand-written KubeJS scripts that tie the mods into one RPG system. Highlights from the pack's own description:

  • Overhauled world generation – new biomes and structures to explore.
  • A huge questline – over 500 quests and 100+ bosses, with dull vanilla bosses such as the Warden reworked to have more engaging mechanics.
  • A custom class system – 14 classes with their own XP and skill UI.
  • Skill tree and skill totems – 250+ abilities, plus totems that let you mix skills into hybrid builds.
  • 30+ summonable pets – from snakes and snow leopards to tigers.
  • ARPG-style gear modification – item crafting inspired by Path of Exile.
  • A massive shop – hundreds of items to cut down on needless grind.
  • 28 gameplay modifiers – spellcasting mobs, invisible spiders, nuclear creepers and more.

The pack is built with multiplayer in mind and is compatible with Distant Horizons (not included).

What Minecraft version and loader does SUPERIOR use?

SUPERIOR - RPG runs on Minecraft 1.20.1 with Forge and needs Java 17. The current version in our catalog has over 400 mods.

SUPERIOR - RPG
Minecraft version 1.20.1
Mod loader Forge
Java 17
Mods 400+
Platform CurseForge
Recommended server RAM 10 GB
Edition Java only (no Bedrock)

The author ships updates often and regularly reworks several classes in a single release. The server and every player must be on the exact same pack version, or nobody gets in.

Is there a SUPERIOR RPG modpack wiki?

No – there's no official wiki; the CurseForge page only links to the author's Discord and Patreon. The most reliable source for class and boss changes is the changelog attached to each version on CurseForge, and the pack's Discord is the fastest place to ask questions.

The game itself also explains a lot: the questline walks you through each stage, and every class has its own skill interface with ability descriptions.

What classes are in SUPERIOR - RPG?

The pack has 14 classes, each with its own XP and skill tree, and the roster shifts as the pack is updated. Classes named in the official changelogs include:

Playstyle Classes from the changelogs
Melee and tank Berserker, Juggernaut, Guardian, Kensei, Bloodripper, Monk
Ranged Frostpiercer, Mercenary
Magic Battlemage, Mystic, Conjurer, Necromancer
Support and other Disciple, Nomad, Plague Doctor

On top of that, the Spellblade class is available to the author's Patreon supporters – a decision some players criticise in their reviews. Ability names and mechanics get reworked regularly, so check the changelog for your version before committing to a long playthrough.

What is the best class in SUPERIOR RPG?

There's no official tier list, but player reviews consistently rate the magic classes as the strongest – Battlemage in particular, whose Ball Lightning one reviewer called the most overpowered spammable spell in the pack. For your first run, pick a class that fits how you like to play rather than chasing a ranking: balance changes with almost every update.

Practical pointers from the changelogs and community feedback:

  • Want to fight at range from minute one? Frostpiercer and Mercenary start with 64 arrows (since version 1.8).
  • Into magic? Players report caster classes scale best into the late game, and one reviewer notes that every good armour set is a mage set.
  • Playing as a group? Split the roles – someone tanks (Guardian, Juggernaut), someone deals damage from range, someone casts. With 100+ bosses, that pays off.
  • Don't lock yourself into one build – skill totems let you combine abilities from different trees.

Keep in mind these are community opinions, not official data from the author. The best way to find your class is to try a few on your own server.

How much RAM does SUPERIOR - RPG need?

Give the server 10 GB of RAM and allocate 8–10 GB to the game on each player's PC. With 400+ mods and heavy scripting, it's a lot more demanding than vanilla Minecraft.

Where RAM
Server (Spot.gg recommendation) 10 GB
Server with more players and a big world 12 GB or more
Player's PC (launcher allocation) 8–10 GB

Some players have reported performance dropping after certain updates and needing frequent restarts, so leave yourself headroom and restart the server regularly. On Spot.gg you can change the RAM at any time with the "Change parameters" button in the server panel.

How do you play SUPERIOR - RPG with friends?

The easiest way is a server with the pack preinstalled: pick SUPERIOR - RPG from the catalog, the server sets itself up, and your friends join with the same pack version in the CurseForge App. No need to download the server files (well over 1 GB) or configure Forge by hand.

On Spot.gg it goes like this:

  1. Create an account and confirm your email – no card required.
  2. Open the SUPERIOR - RPG pack page and click "Activate with this modpack".
  3. Keep the recommended 10 GB of RAM – the server gets memory sized for the pack straight away.
  4. Wait for the install to finish and copy the server address from the panel.
  5. Your friends install SUPERIOR - RPG in the CurseForge App (same version as the server), launch the game and add the address under "Multiplayer" → "Add Server".

Playing with friends only? Turn on the "Whitelist" and add their usernames. The first 24 hours are free, and a modpack server costs from $7.55 / month after that.

How do you update SUPERIOR on a server without losing your world?

In the panel go to "Information" → "Profile" → "Modify" → "Update" and pick the new pack version – your world and files are kept. The pack's mods and config files are replaced with the new version, so any changes you made to those files may be overwritten.

After the server is updated, every player has to update their client to the same version. Before a big version jump, make a copy in the "Backups" tab – the author is known to rework classes and progression between releases.

Common SUPERIOR - RPG problems and fixes

Most issues come down to a pack version mismatch between player and server, too little RAM, or a client-only mod added by hand. In the Spot.gg panel, detected problems show up in the "Errors" tab, and "Ask the assistant" opens an AI assistant that reads the server logs and tells you what went wrong.

Symptom Cause Fix
Can't join, mod mismatch error Different pack version on client and server Install the same version as the server in your launcher
Server takes ages to start or shuts down Not enough RAM Give the server at least 10 GB
Lag and TPS drops after long sessions Heavy pack; memory leaks reported after some updates Restart the server regularly, consider more RAM
Server crashes after adding a mod Client-only mod (shaders, minimap) Remove it from the mods folder in the "Files" tab
Stuttering on the player's side Too little RAM allocated in the launcher Set 8–10 GB in the CurseForge App

You can add Distant Horizons yourself since the pack supports it, but it's demanding on the client – install it knowingly.

What modpacks are similar to SUPERIOR - RPG?

If you want another class-and-quest RPG, try Prominence II, DawnCraft, Cisco's Fantasy Medieval RPG or Roguelike Adventures and Dungeons 2.
