This page is your go-to guide for mod-related help, troubleshooting, and general support while playing the pack. Stormhold is a large, progression-focused modpack, and understanding how its systems work together will help you get the best experience. ## General Modpack Information * **Minecraft Version:** 1.20.1 (Forge) * **Pack Focus:** Automation, magic, space exploration, ancient technology * **Core Pillars:** Create-style engineering, advanced tech, spellcraft, interplanetary travel, and large-scale exploration Stormhold is designed for **long-term worlds**. Progression is intentional—take your time and don’t rush systems that are meant to scale. *** ## Performance & Setup Tips If you experience lag, stuttering, or long load times: * Allocate **10–20 GB of RAM** (more for servers or shaders) If you dont want sharders make sure to turn them off or take out Oculas * Use the **default graphics settings first**, then increase visuals gradually * Shaders are optional—disable them if performance drops * Avoid adding extra heavy mods unless you know they are compatible If the game fails to launch, double-check that: * You are using the correct Forge version * No mods were removed from the pack * Java is up to date *** ## Automation & Tech Help Stormhold features multiple tech paths that can be used together: * Mechanical automation (belts, gears, moving parts) * Electrical and energy-based machines * Advanced processing chains and power generation **Tips:** * Start small and scale up—large factories work best when planned * Chunk loading can help automation but may affect performance * Storage systems work best when centralized *** ## Magic & Progression Help Magic systems in Stormhold are **progression-based**, not instant power boosts. * Unlock spells gradually * Experiment with spell combinations * Many magical systems can automateely integrate with automation If something feels weak early-game, that’s normal—magic scales with investment. *** ## Exploration & Dimensions Stormhold heavily expands world generation and structures. * Expect dangerous dungeons and powerful bosses * Bring supplies—many structures are meant for mid-to-late game * Some dimensions require preparation before entering Use navigation tools wisely and mark important locations. *** ## Space & Late-Game Content Space progression is **endgame-oriented**: * Prepare infrastructure before launching * Power, oxygen, and materials matter * Other planets are not safe zones Space content is designed to reward players who master earlier systems first. *** ## Stargates, Travel & Transport Fast travel systems are powerful but intentional: * Stargates and transporters may require setup and resources * They are best used for established bases and hubs * Not all locations are meant to be instantly accessible Exploration still matters—even with fast travel available. *** ## Common Issues & Fixes **Game won’t launch:** * Check crash logs * Verify all mods are present * Reinstall the pack if needed **Low FPS:** * Reduce render distance * Disable shaders * Close background applications **Missing recipes or items:** * Some content is gated behind progression * JEI will not always show everything immediately *** ## Getting Help If you still need help: * Check this page first * Review crash logs before asking for support * Include screenshots or logs when reporting issues Stormhold is complex by design—but that complexity is part of the fun. Build smart. Explore carefully. Unlock the stars.
