Pack Features
No Items, No Blocks, All Service [Vanilla-Compatibility]
Tinkerer's Quilt is Vanilla Compatible - It doesn't add any new blocks items, or world features.
It's still a mixed-side modpack - it needs to be installed on both the client and any servers you connect to.
If you want to play with Tinkerer's Quilt's tweaks on servers with vanilla players, try Tinkerer's Silk.
A Playable Minecraft Wiki [Vanilla Quests]
Tinkerer's Quilt adds 166 quests that help players explore minecraft.
From basic game progression to niche mechanics like mechanisms, building furniture, and using beds as weapons.

My Other Modpack Description Is A Quest [In-Game Documentation]

Smooth As Butter [Game Rebalancing / QoL]
Tinkerer's Quilt focuses rebalancing on making the game accessible to more people, but also taking the sting out of frustrating parts of vanilla.

More Info
Installation
Stable (Modrinth)
Use your modrinth-supporting launcher of choice (e.g. Prism) - follow modrinth instructions, then manually download the mods listed in the changelog for your version.
Edge (Unsup)
This pack version auto-updates every launch. Slightly higher chance of experiencing pack-jank.
- Install Prism Launcher and Java 17 (on Windows? choose
Windows-x64-JRE-17-.msi
) - Download Tinkerer's Quilt from the downloads page.
- Drag and drop onto an open Prism window, press OK, and double click it to play!
- Whenever the pack updates, you'll be prompted on launch for if you'd like to update.
- When an update contains config changes, you'll often be prompted to allow the update overwrite your own.
- Clicking "yes to all" will allow the update to change these files universally.
- If you're a more experienced user, you can manually reject configs you've set up how you like.
- Note that deleting a file is no longer sufficient for it to be redownloaded. To force the pack to "reverify" all pack files next launch (like steam), delete
unsup_state.json
from the instance folder.
Server
- Download the server from the downloads page.
- Run the included Quilt Installer, selecting your minecraft version and the latest non-beta loader version.
- The provided
Start
script will both update and run the server via the JVM argument.
Notes
If you intend to play without shaders on a powerful machine, we highly recommend QDAA to improve visual consistency.
If you experience arachnophobia or otherwise need to disable the spawning of a mob entirely, try VanillaDisable.
If you'd like to play with a controller, install Controlify before playing.
If you get lost without a map mod, try Antique Atlas 4 - which we include in other editions.

Afterword
All present minecraft modding is built on a decade of work from other people (and non-people, we don't discriminate).
This modpack started in January 2021 as a skyrim-style vanilla+ "modding guide" - and only exists in the form it has today thanks to much help from the community!

More generally - unascribed's guild and its inhabitants
The queer pluralfolk who initially tested the pack in early 2022 (you know who you are)
Bleu (for drawing the original Kapesi bust in the icon/banner art)
DuppyPuff (for drawing kapesi used in the new icon/banner art)
The many, many other folks who've provided development support and feedback for us and our modding ventures - this project wouldn't be possible without you!
