Configuration

The pack uses ConfiguredDefaults to handle configuration files. When you launch the pack for the first time it will copy all relevant configuration files into the config folder. If a config file already exists in that folder it will not be overwritten, unless during an update changes to specific settings have been made that need to be distributed to every client and server.

This also includes the options.txt file as well as the shaderpack configurations.

In order to restore a configuration to the pack's default you just have to delete the file and start the pack.

Notes regarding shaders

As mentioned the pack ships with Complementary Shaders and EuphoriaPatches included and preconfigured to provide a close to vanilla but still visually stunning experience. You are of course free to add and use whichever shaders you like. If you do not like the preconfigured settings for Complementary Shaders you just have to open the shader settings (Alt+F10 by default), edit the shaderpack settings and click on "Reset" in the top.

Notes for server owners

• Disable the mod Mod loading screen (mod-loading-screen-....jar), otherwise the server will likely not boot
• The pack includes a couple of server specific mods which are not configured and only included for convenience:
  • MiniMOTD: Lets you fully customize the MOTD and icon, including an automatic message if the server is in maintenance mode
  • Mainenance Mode: Lets you put the server into maintenance mode, making it so only select players can join as well as automatically making a backup if configured
  • Simple Discord Link: Lets you link the ingame chat to a Discord server, allowing people to chat with each other even when they're not ingame
