It is recommended to create a new instance, import the new version of the modpack as a new instance, and then copy your personal data from the old version over;Do not directly extract and overwrite the old instance, the old instance can be kept as a backup first. Copy the following folders or files from the old version to the same location in the new instance (when encountering files with the same name, selectOverwrite, and skip any that do not exist in the old instance):

  1. local (FTB client settings)

  2. saves (world saves)

  3. backups (automatically backed-up saves)

  4. gtceu (ore vein markers)

  5. options.txt (game settings and key bindings)

  6. xaero (map data)

  7. emi.json (EMI bookmarks)

  8. servers.dat (multiplayer server list)

  9. resourcepacks (resource packs, as needed)

  10. shaderpacks (shaders, as needed)

  11. ae2 (AE terminal pinned items, as needed)

Note:Do not copy mods folder. New versions of mods include upgrades and additions/removals; copying the old mods will cause duplicates or version mismatches. If you have added mods yourself, please place the corresponding jar separately into the new instance's mods directory.

MOD related

  • During modpack installation, there will be some optional mods; you can go to Optional Mods Introduction · gtowiki to view the introduction

  • The server pack installs most optional mods by default (hang-glider disabled by default); server owners can check the optional mod list themselves to add or remove them

  • Do not add I18N; it will overwrite the modpack's Chinese localization resources and cause translation issues (Chinese players)

  • Do not add additional AE2 add-on mods. This modpack uses a self-forked and maintained version of AE2, which is likely incompatible with mainstream AE2 add-on mods.

    For server updates, do I just need to copy the world directory, and then for the client, copy the specified directories/files mentioned in the documentation?

      Got it. If it's still empty, you can look for the latest build.

    If you want to use a Yggdrasil (like LittleSkin) account, I recommend using https://github.com/AndreaFrederica/LunaLauncher. Although the Chinese translation isn't finished yet, it's already very good.
