Mechanical Horizons Modpack User Guide

Thank you for choosing this modpack. This is a technology and adventure modpack. To ensure everyone's gameplay quality, please read the following carefully. Enjoy your game!

The author's video platform account: tanZ_Minecraft (Bilibili account; no YouTube account yet), QQ: 2227438576. This guide was edited by me personally. If you encounter any issues not mentioned below and cannot solve them yourself, please contact me.

Thanks to hejiehao (QQ: 1915249826, GitHub: hejiehao, Discord: hejiehao) for providing technical support for the creation of my modpack, including but not limited to resolving mod incompatibility and mod conflicts, and failures when exporting the modpack.

How to Install the Modpack

Using PCL as an example, open PCL, click Version Selection - Import Modpack, locate the modpack file and import it. Once the download is complete, you can launch the game.

If you have not installed a launcher, please install one yourself. There are videos on YouTube teaching how to install launchers.

How to Optimize Game FPS

First, a disclaimer: the modpack has already been optimized. The following is my PC specs:

After optimization, with HDR enabled, at 2K resolution (2560 × 1440), and without shaders, the frame rate fluctuates between 120 and 260 FPS, and may occasionally be around 90 FPS. If your PC specs are similar, no manual optimization is needed (though you can adjust settings as you like). If your PC specs are much higher than mine, it is recommended that you keep shaders enabled, increase rendering quality, etc. Players with better PC specs than mine probably know more about this than I do, so I won't explain further.

Next, I will provide methods to optimize game FPS for a low-spec PC on a case-by-case basis. (If your specs are far below those in Specs 1, it is recommended that you upgrade to a higher-spec PC before playing this modpack.)

Specs 1

Optimization Strategy:

• Memory allocation: Allocate 3-4 GB. With 8 GB of system RAM, allocate at most 4 GB, leaving enough memory for the system and other programs.
• Video settings: Render distance 6-8 chunks, simulation distance 5 chunks, graphics set to "Fast", turn off smooth lighting, clouds, and entity shadows, and set particles to "Minimal".
• System-level: Close all background applications (browsers, chat apps), and set the Windows power plan to "High performance".

Specs 2

Optimization Strategy:

• Memory allocation: Allocate 6-8 GB (with 16 GB of system RAM, leave 8 GB for the system).
• Video settings: Render distance 10-12 chunks, simulation distance 8 chunks, graphics set to "Fast" or "Fancy", turn off smooth lighting, and set clouds to "Fast".
• Shaders: Not recommended. If you must enable them, choose lightweight shaders (e.g., the low-end preset of Complementary Reimagined).

Specs 3

Optimization Strategy:

• Memory allocation: With 16 GB of system RAM, allocate 8-10 GB; with 32 GB, allocate 10-12 GB.
• Video settings: Render distance 12-16 chunks, simulation distance 10 chunks, graphics set to "Fancy", smooth lighting can be enabled, and clouds set to "Fancy".
• Shaders: Medium shaders can be enabled (e.g., the medium presets of Complementary Shaders and BSL Shaders); 6 GB VRAM or more can run them smoothly.

Specs 4

Optimization Strategy:

• Memory allocation: Allocate 10-12 GB (with 32 GB of system RAM), leaving 20 GB for the system and background programs.
• Video settings: Render distance 16-20 chunks, simulation distance 12 chunks, maximum graphics quality, enable smooth lighting and ambient occlusion.
• Shaders: High-quality shaders can be enabled (e.g., the low-to-medium presets of Photon and SEUS PTGI); 8 GB VRAM or more can maintain a stable 100+ FPS at 1080p.

What Mods Are in the Modpack & How to Play It

Core mods: Create, Distant Horizons, several adventure mods, and some Create add-on mods (mods with poor compatibility were removed after testing).

This link refers to the detailed mod list.

Due to space limitations, please search YouTube for videos to learn how to play.

Default Keybind Settings & How to Customize Keybinds

• "Sprint" only requires a single press of Ctrl instead of holding the key.
• The version is 1.21.1. In vanilla, the Shift key still gets stuck with Chinese input methods, but this has been optimized by installing a mod, so you no longer need to work around it by pressing Shift and then clicking other keys.
• In the Replay Mod, the default M key for "Add Marker" has been moved to the "[" key to avoid conflicts with Xaero's World Map mod.
• To customize keybinds: press K, then configure them as you like.

感谢你选择本整合包游玩，这是一个科技兼冒险类整合包，为了保证各位的游玩质量，请细看下方内容，祝各位游戏愉快！

本整合包的作者视频平台账号：tanZ_Minecraft，QQ：2227438576，本指南由我本人编辑，如果遇到下方没提到的问题且没法自行解决，请联系我

感谢何杰豪（QQ：1915249826，GitHub：hejiehao，Discord：hejiehao），为我制作整合包提供技术支持，包括但不限于：解决模组不适配&模组冲突，导出整合包失败等问题

如何安装整合包

以 PCL（Plain Craft Launcher）为例，打开 PCL，点击“版本选择” - “导入整合包”，找到整合包文件并导入，下载并安装完毕即可启动游戏

没有安装启动器的请自行安装启动器，哔哩哔哩上有视频教如何安装启动器

如何优化游戏帧率

事先声明，整合包已经经过优化，以下是我的电脑配置：

优化后在开启 HDR、2K 分辨率（2560 × 1440）、不开光影的情况下，游玩帧率在 120-260 fps 浮动，偶尔可能 90 fps，如果电脑配置相近，则无需手动优化（也可根据个人需要自行调整），如果电脑配置比我高很多，建议自行常态化开启光影、提高渲染质量等，比我电脑配置高的玩家这方面应该比我懂所以我不做过多解释

接下来将分不同情况，对配置低的人提供优化游戏帧率的方法（如果配置远低于配置 1，建议换成更高配置后再游玩本整合包）：

配置 1

优化策略：

• 内存分配：分配 3-4 GB，整机 8 GB 时最多分配 4 GB，需保留足够内存给系统和其他程序。
• 视频设置：渲染距离 6-8 区块，模拟距离 5 区块，图形设为“流畅”，关闭平滑光照、云、实体阴影，粒子效果降至“最少”。
• 系统层面：关闭所有后台应用（浏览器、聊天软件），Windows 电源计划设为“高性能”。

配置 2

优化策略：

• 内存分配：分配 6-8 GB（16GB 整机内存下，保留 8GB 给系统）。
• 视频设置：渲染距离 10-12 区块，模拟距离 8 区块，图形“流畅”或“高品质”，关闭平滑光照，云设为“流畅”。
• 光影：不建议开启光影，若必须开启，选择轻量光影（如 Complementary Reimagined 的低配预设）。

配置 3

优化策略：

• 内存分配：16GB 整机分配 8-10 GB；32GB 整机分配 10-12 GB。
• 视频设置：渲染距离 12-16 区块，模拟距离 10 区块，图形“高品质”，可开启平滑光照，云“高品质”。
• 光影：可开启中等光影（如 Complementary Shaders、BSL Shaders 的中等预设），显存 6GB 以上可流畅运行。

配置 4

优化策略：

• 内存分配：分配 10-12 GB（32GB 整机），保留 20GB 给系统和后台。
• 视频设置：渲染距离 16-20 区块，模拟距离 12 区块，全高画质，开启平滑光照和环境光遮蔽。
• 光影：可开启高质量光影（如 Photon、SEUS PTGI 的低-中预设），显存 8GB 以上可在 1080p 下稳定 100+ FPS。

整合包有什么模组&如何游玩该整合包

核心模组：机械动力、遥远的地平线和若干冒险模组还有部分机械动力联动模组（部分兼容性差的模组经测试后删除）

你可以点击此链接查看详细模组列表

碍于篇幅问题，游玩方法请搜索哔哩哔哩的视频自行学习

键位初始设置&如何进行键位个性化

• “疾跑”只需要单击 Ctrl 而不是按住此键
• 版本为 1.21.1，原版 Shift 键依旧会卡中文输入法，但是通过安装模组优化了，不用“自适应”地去按 Shift 再点其他按键了
• 回放模组默认 M 键为“添加标记点”，已移动至“[”键，以避免与 Xaero 的世界地图模组冲突
• 对键位进行个性化：按 K 键，然后自行设置
