The Gweld - Rune and Winter

1. Install the CurseForge app, open Minecraft, search for The Gweld and press Install (or use "Install via App" on this page).
2. If the app warns about 8 files that "aren't on CurseForge", choose to install all files. They are my own quest book files and are safe.
3. Open the profile settings and give the game 6 to 8 GB of memory.
4. Press Play. The first start takes a while because every mod loads.
5. Create a new world (every update needs a new one). Open the quest book and read the Read Me chapter first.
6. Optional: turn on shaders in Options → Video Settings → Shader Packs. Complementary Reimagined or Complementary Unbound.

Can I add or update mods? Adding small client mods is usually fine. Updating the pack's mods one by one can break it, wait for a pack update.

Why is some text Turkish? The game's main language is Turkish, English is included but some lines may still be Turkish. Set the language to English in Options → Language.

Can I play with friends? Yes, world sharing works with Essential and e4mc. Multiplayer is still being tested, so please report problems.

How does the game start? You begin without a rune. The quest book (FTB Quests) teaches the basics, then points you to the Rune Stone and the first abilities.

Do I need shaders? No. They are optional and off by default. The pack aims for about 60 FPS on a mid-range PC without shaders.

• Coming in the big update: Veyr, the second layer of the world, Gweld sight powers, Kenaz's Phoenix ultimate and the final boss, Ragnar.
• More people, more bosses, more places to explore.
• Quest book chapters that tell more of the story.

I built The Gweld on top of other people's work, and I thank them. Every mod in the pack downloads from its own CurseForge page, I do not re-host them. The parts below live inside my own mod under their own licenses. Their license texts are in the mod jar (META-INF/, assets/gweld/ and the jar root).

About licenses. The license of each mod I took from is the one written inside the file I took, and I include its full text. I used Marium's Soulslike Weaponry 1.4.8 for 1.21.1 (CC0-1.0 in the mod file and on its GitHub page) and Spartan Weaponry Reborn 3.1.0 for NeoForge 1.21.1 (Apache-2.0 in the mod file). Some of these mods show a different license label on other sites. If a moderator or an author sees something different on their side, please contact me and I will fix it or remove the part right away.

The full credits file ships inside the mod jar (META-INF/KREDILER.md).
