# Stormhold – Modpack Help

> Welcome to Stormhold! 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)

  > [!NOTE]
  >
  > 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.
