Complementary Versions and Archives

Downloads here center on r5.9.3 for Unbound and Reimagined on Minecraft Java Edition. Older builds stay available when a modpack or server pins a specific ZIP.

Match your Minecraft version and loader (Iris with Fabric/Quilt, or OptiFine) first, then pick the newest compatible Complementary file you can. Every archive below has its own download buttons.

When to use archives

Use archive builds for older modpacks, reproduction of bug reports, or servers that freeze shader versions.

Do not mix random old configs with new packs without testing. Update settings after major jumps.

Update guide

When you should keep an older build

Modpacks sometimes freeze Unbound or Reimagined for stability. Servers may ask everyone to match one file name. In those cases, use Previous versions on the download page or the category archives.

Updating later? Follow safe updates so you always keep a rollback ZIP.

Check what changed before you update

Skim the changelog for the r5.9 line, then download from Unbound or Reimagined only when you are ready to test in a copy world.
