I am proud to announce, after a year in development, the creation of the Thaumcraft Neverhood Community and its associated modpack/server. Not a day has gone by in the panoply of subreddits and many modding communities without sorrow over the passing of Thaumcraft’s prime time. Gone are the days of public and permanent dedicated Thaumcraft servers, spent are those hidden communities, drowned are the decrepit servers and ruins are all that remain of such a golden age of minecraft modding.
Until now.
It has been *quite* some time since a dedicated public Thaumcraft server has lifted its flag, and it is with incredible pride that I announce its resurgency. Enter: The Thaumcraft Neverhoods.
You see, Thaumcraft’s creator, Azanor, spent years recreating over and over Thaumcraft’s wonderful system and engine, and while the particulars changed with each version, the essentials remained the same; Essentia, Marvels, Madness. Being the ultimate magic mod with no easy competition and with a depth to chew on for years alone, Thaumcraft nurtured an addon scene of quality content and magnificently crafted environments that inspired people for decades. But Minecraft changed, over and over, and with each version, Azanor had to work harder and harder, rebuilding from the ground up ad nauseum until finally it was too much, leaving his latest version Thaumcraft 6 unfinished and incomplete from his previous creations. It would then sit there, forever untouched as Azanor retreated to his own personal demiplane. Other teams have attempted to pick up the reigns with his permission, but developer hell, small crafting budgets, and other issues have kept those groups and completion of the translation in limbo for years (though I have nothing but respect for those brave communities and modders that try).
Therefore, being a general consensus of multiple communities of the fullness and total content/inclusion/addon-scene, this modpack aims to be the **perfect** Thaumcraft experience, within the 1.7.10 version ruleset of Thaumcraft 4. Accompanying Thaumcraft and a number of the highest quality works-together addons, are additional dimensions, each selected for excellence and thoroughness of development. For such a magnificent magical system deserves an equally magnificent set of places to explore and things to do, no?
What I have here is the beta for such a magnificent endeavor, painfully coded and blood spilt to ensure compatibility with everything. Well, most everything. Sorry Optifine, it was never going to last.

Tl;DR
Thaumcraft modpack with its greatest Thaumic addons.
13 dimensions carefully chosen in a planar chaos adventure.
Server (release) is planned to be a whitelisted RP experience, though the modpack is of course open for others to use. Current server is beta, and is not whitelisted, come on in and try the waters! (Launch 7 July 2023)
Costs nothing but your time.
