CrackPack
The CrackPack, also previously titled The Crack Pack, is the official Mindcrack modpack. The original version of it was developed by W92Baj with help from Biffa2001 and maxxori,[1] better known as sciguyryan.[2][3] The Crackpack 3 modpack was developed by Darkosto in November 2019 after being unlocked as a stretch goal at the 2019 Mindcrack Marathon.

History[edit]
The CrackPack was formerly named Crack the Beast which was to be bundled under Feed the Beast, much like Mindcrack's previous modpack for FTB. In February 2014, a new FTB server was started, the third map of the modded server, using the modpack developed by Baj with the help of the FTB team. Baj had worked hard "to ensure the pack is fully functional and stable [so that players] don't end up with a corrupt world or lost items."[4] Due to the amount of work needed to set up the modpack, Baj decided to drop the FTB launcher and instead use the ATLauncher.[5] The pack was officially launched on 21 April 2014 under the version number 1.0.1.0.[6] CrackPack 2.0.0.0 was released on 14 October 2014.[7]
During the 2019 Mindcrack Marathon on 25-27 October 2019 a stretch goal of $175,000 to unlock Crackpack 3 was announced. A week later on 4 November 2019 Darkosto started developing the pack in a seven day marathon, and on 11 November 2019 Crackpack 3 was officially released on CurseForge and the Twitch launcher.[8]
