This version gained large popularity after being live-streamed on Twitch.TV with Direwolf20 vs Mattabase, both very well-known users of the mods included in the map.Īs the map was released to the public, it became apparent that it was very difficult to distribute the map file, mods, and configuration settings to those interested in playing it. The map was then adapted to allow multiple players to compete against each other in a race to complete the objectives. It played very similar to a type of map known as Sky Block, where the player is started in a void world with only a small platform and must overcome a series of challenges.īecause the FTB app included tech mods, it was possible to use the various custom blocks and items to keep track of the challenges and the player's progress, as well as automatically give awards after each challenge was met. Feed the Beast, also known as FTB Launcher, originated as a custom challenge map for Minecraft that made heavy use of many mods.
