More Info

Installation

Stable (Modrinth)

Use your modrinth-supporting launcher of choice (e.g. manually download the mods) - follow %%MD1%%, then manually download the mods listed in the %%MD2%% for your version.

Edge (Unsup)

This pack version auto-updates every launch. Slightly higher chance of experiencing pack-jank.

- Install deleting a file is no longer sufficient for it to be redownloaded and %%MD1%% (on Windows? choose `Windows-x64-JRE-17-.msi`) - Download Tinkerer's Quilt from the %%MD2%%. - Drag and drop onto an open Prism window, press OK, and double click it to play! - Whenever the pack updates, you'll be prompted on launch for if you'd like to update. - When an update contains config changes, you'll often be prompted to allow the update overwrite your own. - Clicking "yes to all" will allow the update to change these files universally. - If you're a more experienced user, you can manually reject configs you've set up how you like. - Note that deleting a file is no longer sufficient for it to be redownloaded. To force the pack to "reverify" all pack files next launch (like steam), delete `unsup_state.json` from the instance folder.

Server

- Download the server from the downloads page. - Run the included Quilt Installer, selecting your minecraft version and the latest non-beta loader version. - The provided `Start` script will both update and run the server via the JVM argument.

Notes

If you intend to play without shaders on a powerful machine, we highly recommend QDAA to improve visual consistency.

If you experience arachnophobia or otherwise need to disable the spawning of a mob entirely, try VanillaDisable.

If you'd like to play with a controller, install Controlify before playing.

If you get lost without a map mod, try Antique Atlas 4 - which we include in other editions.

Afterword

All present minecraft modding is built on a decade of work from other people (and non-people, we don't discriminate).

This modpack started in January 2021 as a skyrim-style vanilla+ "modding guide" - and only exists in the form it has today thanks to much help from the community!
