Beecraft

## Getting Started Beecraft is a Fabric-based modpack intended to incorporate several simple gameplay expansion mods with straightforward optimization and shader support out-of-the-box. ### Client Installation To simply play the modpack, search for it in the Modrinth launcher application or another supported launcher. You may download a .mrpack file from [the Versions page](https://modrinth.com/modpack/beehive-beescraft/versions) if that is more helpful for you.   ### Server Installation As with any client-side modpack, it is easy to run a local server by simply [opening your game to your LAN](https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/4410317081741-How-to-Play-Minecraft-Java-Edition-Multiplayer#h_01FGSNQW64PVTP6P03M9GJXWE2). Running a dedicated server is more involved and requires background understanding of how to install and operate a Fabric server. If you want to run a dedicated server, you are strongly advised to load a .mrpack file [available in the Versions page](https://modrinth.com/modpack/beehive-beescraft/versions) in a launcher capable of creating a working server directory for you. If you want or need to populate the server mods directory by hand, the following are necessary to provide a feature-complete experience for Beecraft clients. Be advised that, in the course of manual installation, you would need to figure out cross-compatibility yourself: Click to show serverside mods - Dawn API by Hugman - Fabric API by modmuss50 - Geckolib by Gecko - Grappling Hook Mod: Restitched by CloudG360 - Lithium by jellysquid3 - Memory Leak Fix by fxmorin - oωo (owo-lib) by glisco - The Graveyard (FABRIC) by finallion - Universal Ores by Hugman - Fabric Waystones by LordDeatHunter - Xaero's Minimap by thexaero - Ping Wheel by Luken - Inventory Profiles Next by blackd - Another Furniture by crispytwig ## Design Principles Before all other considerations, a desire for simplicity and easy-to-grasp mechanics steers this modpack. Over many years, we have observed that casual players seeking to ease themselves into the modded Minecraft experience are often overwhelmed by modpacks with half a thousand mods, a dozen new dimensions, and five copies of the same machines. We seek to avoid confusing, overloading, and burning out prospective modded Minecraft players. ### Gameplay Expansion A game with well-considered design language invites the player to learn deeper mechanics simply by playing; while it is fine to need to look up the details of a game's mechanics in a wiki, it is far preferable that the design of items and gameplay interactions steer the player to figure things out without needing to read a reference guide. We identify Create, The Graveyard, Fabric Waystones, and Grappling Hook Mod: Restitched as four (often-underappreciated) mods that facilitate this style of in vivo learning. ### Shader Support It is hoped that anyone -- whether preferring Iris- or Optifine-format shaders -- may use this modpack out of the box. Iris Shaders is included alongside with a slew of mods providing Fabric-stack support for features of the Optifine shader/texture format. ### Optimization A variety of bugfix, optimization, and menu improvement mods are included. This modpack's optimization mods were included with older or less-powerful systems in mind; it is anticipated that players on low-end systems will enjoy stable framerates and stability improvements while high-end system users may crank settings to the max. ## Mods Included In order to simplify licensing for and permission for redistribution, all mods come from modrinth.com. We extend our sincerest thanks to [the modders referenced in the Changelog](https://modrinth.com/modpack/beehive-beescraft/changelog) for making their work available on this platform. ## Additional Thanks Icon by AriArtistryAffairs.
