Modpack
To join our server you need to install some associated mods. They are distributed as a modpack. Once installed, the modpack automatically updates itself whenever we upgrade mods on the server, there's no need to manually update mods.
Supported Launchers
The launchers that are capable of installing the modpack includes PrismLauncher, MultiMC, ATLauncher and Hello Minecraft! Launcher.
Setting up modpacks isn't quite as straight-forward on the official Mojang launcher or some other launchers, in which case I'd recommend using a launcher in that list, such as PrismLauncher. It's sorta easy to get used to and it's free and open-source. You can get PrismLauncher here.
Tutorial for Installing
The Link
The following instructions will involve copying and pasting a link into your launcher. You can copy that link here:

(Use this link instead should you live in mainland China: https://www.mcmtr.top/LetsPlay-Packwiz/MTR-LetsPlay.zip )

Additional Mods
The pack only contains the basic stuff needed to join our server, leaving you more space for customizing your experience. To install additional mods, simply drop them into the mods folder. The updater knows which files are added by you and won't delete them.
The pack already contains optimization mods including Sodium and Iris.
You might be interested in adding some quality-of-life mods for a smoother experience. As a tip, here are a few mods that might be useful, you can choose as per your preference.
| Name & Download | Usage |
|---|---|
| Distant Horizons | Renders simplified terrain past Minecraft's default view distance - See farther while still getting good performance. |
| Xaero's World Map | Full-screen map. |
| Xaero's MiniMap | Adds marker supports to Xaero's World Map. |
| Zoomify | Push to zoom in, customizable zoom levels, useful for looking at PIDS. |
| Continuity | Connected glass pane textures. After installing it's not on by default, you need to enable its resource packs. |
| Freecam | View builds from a top-down perspective. |
| Builders' Utility | |
| WorldEdit CUI | A graphical user interface for WorldEdit. (Having the selection always showing up is pretty annoying indeed, but WorldEdit CUI allows you to bind a hotkey for the deselection action. Just assign it in control settings, press that key when you're done with WorldEdit stuff and the selection will be gone.) |
| Fabric-Carpet | Allows you to no-clip when flying in creative mode. |
Moving your previous stuff over
In case you've been previously playing and want to keep your Map, Distant Horizons data etc., simply move the associated folders inside .minecraft over. These might include Distant_Horizons_server_data, XaeroWorldMap, XaeroWaypoints, etc.
