Getting Started

Are you new to minecraft, modded, or just need some help getting started? Here you will find some tips getting started in modded.

In order to get started in modded minecraft, you will need a few things. A legit official minecraft account, launcher that will be able to load mods, and more than 12gb of ram on your pc.

Three of the most common ones are curseforge, gdlauncher and multimc. Once you have a launcher downloaded, you can go ahead and search for the modpack of your choice within the launcher and install them.

Once you have the modpack installed you will need to adjust the amount of ram your computer gives to minecraft. We recommend a minimum 8gb and you should really have enought to dedicate 10gb with atleast 2gb left over for windows. Additionally, head on over to our java page where we have some custom java arguements that can help with performance while playing.

Depending on your launcher, you can install and use java11. (gdlauncher and multimc allows this) this can also help with performance. We also have recommended arguments for java11 on our java page

Curseforge is changing the way it allows access to its 'software'. Because of this, gdlauncher and MultiMC may become unavailable to the public in the upcomming months. Please consider this when choosing a launcher.

Gameplay

The very first thing you need to know about modded is JEI (just enough items). JEI is kind of like your in game google for items. You can look up any items by mod, description or tooltip. You can also see how the item is made and what other recipies the item is used in.

Here is a spotlight on JEI to help get you started:

Once in game, you will get a few items, the first being the Akashic Tome. This tome contains books from some of the popular mods (where available) that will help guide you through them. Some mods use the advancements tab to help with progression (eg. Twilight Forest). Also, there is a quest book/system. You can access it by opening your inventory and clicking the book icon in the top left of your screen.

If your new to modded, allthemods, or minecraft in general, please take a look at our getting started guide.

Look in the in game book Allthemodium or search the ores in JEI and view the tooltips. There is additional information in the Allthemodium book.

The chaos guardian is a multi-phase fight. The crystals can only be damaged by the dragon and it's attacks, but the final hit on them will have to come from you to destroy them. Once all the crystals are destroyed, only half the time will it be susceptible to damage, when it doesnt have a blue shield. It has two health bars as well - a red over shield and then its actual HP.

ATM6 1.8.x: terraforged (default does work)
1.7.x or earlier: default. Others have proven problematic.
Skyblock:
use: level-type=skyblockbuilder\:custom_skyblock

If your opped (open to lan with cheats on) you can use this command
/ftbchunks admin extra_force_load_chunks @p add
or
Edit \world\serverconfig\ftbchunks.snbt (ftbchunks-server.toml for pre 1.7.x packs) while the server is OFFLINE, update max_force_loaded_chunks to the value you want, save it, then start the server.

Chunkloading is handled by FTB Chunks. Open your map where you claim chunks and once you have a chunk claimed, shift click that same chunk. It should show a red X through the chunk, showing that it is force loaded.

Create and island: /skyblock create
Go to my island: /skyblock home
Go to spawn: /skyblock spawn
