Modpacks completely change the fundamentals of Minecraft. These packs are a bunch of codes and mods that change the player's game world by introducing different textures, unusual biomes or completely new entities.

Luckily, most of the modpacks available on Curseforge can be played on multiplayer with friends. These modpacks provide dozens of goals and missions, which allow multiple friends to each have a role in their tribe.

Some modpacks also have the "claiming" feature, which allows a certain team to claim a territory as their own. Similar to real life, this act may cause some issues between friends.
