--Lore --

At the end of Ancient Towncraft there was a great alchemical devastation that left the overworld burned free of all of its ores that lie above bedrock.

For generations, the survivors of the great devastation have lived underground, below the bedrock layer that protected the ores in the caverns, scratching by eating mushrooms and whatever you could find, however in your lifetime scientists have spoken about the possibility of returning the surface to live, initial testing has shown that the surface is once again inhabitable.

You decide that you can no longer wait, you are making the trek up to the surface, to face what you find there, others that have gone before have not returned, but you have a strong feeling in your heart that you are going to make it, and you are determined to repopulate the surface. Equipped with the tales of the bright sun and flowers dancing in your mind, you decide to dig up, and make your way!

----

You will start in caverns, and need to dig to the top(256) to get out, once you get to the bedrock, jump in to it to get teleported up. If you ever die, hold your key with right mouse until you get teleported back to your grave.

Start with a colony ship, or wagon, let your villagers build up your town from the ground up(Minecolonies), then when you have a nice amount of resources coming in and you are ready to advance to the industrial age, you can found your large industrial city, lay out the roads, plan the bridges and use the builders to build skyscrapers with industry, and economy, sell resources you produce for building materials(Dooglamoo Cities).

Spice up your cities with many decorative mods- Ceramics, Chisel, Chisel's and bits, forestry woods,, future pack, LandLust, MrCrayfish, Xtones(like Ztones), platforms.

Grab the keys to your car and drive around on your newly build roads in your car, truck, or SUV,

Build an airport and fly realistic planes to other towns.

Link your town with others towns via freeways quickly using the blueprint tools.

Once you have the tech, you can build airports and working planes and trains, that's right, planes trains and automobiles!

More dangerous npcs may spawn further away from the worldspawn. Hot and cold biomes are also more dangerous. Don't start in a desert.

As your colony grows it will become appealing to raiders, the larger it grows the more bandits will come for you, think tower defense, in Minecraft :)

Set up a server-

If you would like a done for you solution, the folks over at Akliz have an already set up server waiting for you -

Would you like to run a server for this pack yourself? AWESOME! Just put the mods,configs, and scripts on the server, then add forge and a startup script, and fire it up :)

Use Java 8 with modded minecraft Unless you have versions past 1.16 then a modern java version is required.

Set up the server with a matching version of forge that the client uses(Forge for 1.12.2 on TownCraft ONE and 1.16.5 for TownCraft TWO). Download and install forge in to your server folder(that you create).

Important note here- don't use the overrides folder from curseforge. You need to install the pack with Curseforge from Overwolf, then copy the mods, configs, and scripts from that folder.

Here is a server.properties to get you started - https://gist.github.com/ProsperCraft/243c1ab52c01a4b9bc251ae2eb2002d7

With new versions of forge you don't need to remove clientside mods because it automatically does not run them.

To start your server you will need a start script- make a file named serverstart.bat and edit it to include this -

Need more help? Feel free to join our ProsperCraft discord, we are a friendly group of family-friendly players.

Once you start the server the first time it will fail saying you need to accept hte EULA, edit the eula.txt to say you accept it, then the server will start up.

To update your server -

Clone world folder, delete mods, configs, scripts. Put in mods, configs, scripts from the client, start server, when it prompts you on console to type /fml confirm type it.

To enable chunkloaders on your server-

edit the Towncraft.zs in the scripts folder on your server and your clients-

Remove- hide(<techreborn:chunk_loader>);

removeAndHide(<ic2:te:82>);

removeAndHide(<mekanism:anchorupgrade>);

removeAndHide(<opencomputers:upgrade:4>);
removeAndHide(<stevescarts:cartmodule:49>);

Edit mekanism.cfg-

# Disable to make the anchor upgrade not do anything.
B:AllowChunkloading=true
