Quick answer

Which Mineshafts & Monsters release should I use?

Updated 3 years ago
Latest stable file Mineshafts & Monsters - 1.11
Game version 1.16-Snapshot, 1.16.3, 1.16.1
Loader forge

Mineshafts & Monsters - 1.11 is a complete pack release for 1.16-Snapshot, 1.16.3, 1.16.1. Install it as its own launcher instance. If the creator publishes a separate server file, make sure it names this exact pack release. Could not safely read this pack file.

Pack setup

How should I set up Mineshafts & Monsters for players and a server?

Use Mineshafts & Monsters - 1.11 as the pack version. Install the pack as its own launcher instance. The creator’s listing does not name a separate server file, so check the release notes before setting up a dedicated server. Do not upload the ordinary client folder blindly.

Client instance Install Mineshafts & Monsters - 1.11
Dedicated server setup Match Mineshafts & Monsters - 1.11
Pack loader No loader listed

A pack is a matched client and server setup, not one mod with an install-side label. Keep its release, loader, manifest and overrides together.

What are the server requirements for Mineshafts & Monsters?

Mineshafts & Monsters - 1.11. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.

Could not safely read this pack file

The selected pack release is Mineshafts & Monsters - 1.11. That file is for Minecraft 1.16-Snapshot, 1.16.3, 1.16.1. We could not safely count the mods in this release. The creator’s listing does not name a separate server file. Check their notes before using one, and do not upload an ordinary client folder or rebuild the pack mod by mod. A file count cannot tell us the right RAM, CPU or storage; size the server for the players and world you actually run.

Requirements:

Full Version: 6 GB Minimum, 7-8 GB Recommended

Lite Version: 4 GB Minimum, 6-7 GB Recommended

Q: Why is the quest-book empty?

A: The quest-book tracks your progression, if you didn't make any you won't see any. To get started, follow the objective (kill pillager) and trade with villagers.

Q: Why are some mods not working as intended?

A: This pack HEAVILY customizes each mod to fit the pack's need. Some mechanics are gated or disabled. Either way we recommend just going in the pack without knowing anything and learning along the way with the in-game guide books (or online mod wiki if needed).

Q: Can I remove/add mods inside the pack?
A: You can add or remove any mod and play for personal use. However, I would strongly suggest you NOT to remove mods in the pack since it messes up the game progressions. If you want to play a highly customizable pack, I would suggest the older version "U Die U Noob" releases, since no progression line is created in that release.

Q: What is the difference between adventure and normal version?

A: Adventure version is the version WITHOUT minecolonies. It uses 'rereskillable', which is the feature that RLCraft uses to lock items behind levels. Normal version contains the normal minecolonies and fame system.

Q: Can I remove the resource pack?

A: Don’t, it is integral for this pack for multiple reasons.

Q: Do I need optifine?

A: It's highly recommended. But if it's causing issues, you can remove it, though some things can be buggy and out of place.

Q: The pack is laggy for me, what can I do?

A:

Try the LITE Version! https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/mineshafts-monsters-lite

Lag Spikes: Make sure you didn't allocate too little or too much RAM to the game, both can cause performance issues. Also, pre-generate using World Pregenerator!

FPS Lag: Sadly due to the size of the pack, FPS dips are inevitable. With that being said, A decent computer should be able to run the pack with optifine/sodium at a constant 80+ fps though. As for shaders, the most compatible shaders are already located in the shaders folder, but realistically only "Builder's QOL" is recommended for normal PCs.

Q: Why are there no server.jar in the server pack?

A: You need to make a forge server first, then drag the server pack inside the server. Also, make sure to read README.txt and follow the instructions!
