The Modpack

Shuttlecraft 4 runs a custom light modpack, designed to provide a few refinements and optimisations while maintaining a largely vanilla feel. The big exception to this is the inclusion of the Create Mod, which allows for the construction of kinetic elements, large trains, and more!

## Installing the modpack

* Download the Modrinth launcher from https://modrinth.com/app
* Download the Shuttlecraft instance file, here
* Run the Modrinth launcher, and click the 'add instance' button in the bottom-left. Click 'choose file', and then select the Shuttlecraft instance file
* The launcher will automatically download and install the modpack for you, allowing you to connect to the server

The Minimal Armor resource pack by Voidlighter allows you to easily see another player's character skin, despite the fact that they are wearing armour. This is done by replacing the armour model with a much smaller set, striking a balance between visibility of the armour and of the player skin.
