Cinderstone Studios
We create high-quality mods and modpacks that bring unique experiences.
The studio was born in 2025, when we made our project series, Prominence, independent.
We've grown from simple mods to full-scale modpacks built on custom content. Our biggest project, Prominence™ II, has over 100,000 lines of code written for its custom content alone.
Meet the teamMinecraft Mods
We started with a single developer, publishing small mods and shaderpacks.
Today, we're multiple developers with 102 mods published.

Interactive quests guide you through two major storylines, The Void's Invasion and The Hasturian Era. The campaign unlocks progressively and ties lore and narrative to your character's progression.
The Kingdom of Vaaz is a fully fledged capital city, home of the Flameborn, Dwarven and Serkonid. Its NPCs have dialogues, shops and quests, and the city evolves as your campaign progresses. Campaign dialogues are voice acted, with no AI used.
Create your own class with the Talent Tree. A custom leveling system gives you a talent point every 2 levels, and enemies scale with your level, in multiplayer too.
Obtain the Molten Core through the campaign to forge artifacts with unique abilities. Each one has its own Upgrade Tree, fed with Artifact Power from Molten Remnants.
The Primordial Forge and Mythic Challenges both open in Chapter II of Hasturian Era.
