Setup

How do I install the datapack?

Follow the instructions in the following link: LINK(https://github.com/CiscuLog/Survivor-s-Elegy/blob/main/HOW_TO_INSTALL.txt)

Where can I find the resourcepack?

On the CurseForge download the resourcepack comes with the datapack download. Unzip the file.

On the Modrinth download the resourcepack is in the "Files" section of every version download page. Scroll a bit and you'll find it.

Why is it not working when I type survivors_elegy:config or siscu:config?

You need to have cheats enabled on your world (singleplayer) or OP permissions on a server.

To enable them on already existing worlds, open to LAN with cheats on. After configuring the pack, you can disable cheats by leaving the world and entering again.

How can I update between datapack versions?

In %appdata%/.minecraft/saves/*world save*/datapacks Remove the old version and replace it with the datapack with the new version. Make sure to also update your world to the minecraft version that's compatible with the datapack.

How do I know if my datapack has been updated?

The version number can be found on the config menu. Type survivors_elegy:config and check the [ABOUT] menu. Both datapack versions and resourcepack versions are going to show up. If it's still the same, do /reload and check again. If nothing changes, open an issue or request for help in the discord server.

How do I uninstall the Datapack without corrupting my world save?

Follow the instructions in the following link: LINK(https://github.com/CiscuLog/Survivor-s-Elegy/blob/main/HOW_TO_UNINSTALL.txt)

Gameplay

Why (generic question)?

• Make sure the minecraft version you're playing in is compatible with the datapack. Some features might not exist yet or make you unable to join the world.

Can I disable Withering/Phage/Rotting..?

Yes, some mechanics can be disabled on the config menu. Type survivors_elegy:config and disable them on their respective menus. Features that can be disabled are the following:

• Current Day Announcement
• Last Death Message
• Phage
• Rotting
• Withering

Is there a way to unlock all recipes?

(Pre mc 1.21) Not the recipes shown on the crafting table, but you can unlock the advancement entries. Type the command /advancement grant @s from minecraft:datapack_recipes/root

(Post 1.21) As you would unlock all recipes, use the command /recipe give @s *

I cannot get an advancement in the "Survivor's Elegy tab"!

Don't worry, some invisible advancements only serve as connectors to organize the tab and can't be obtained.

(Item) is not working correctly!

Some items get updated between versions and require certain situations to properly update. Try holding them on your mainhand, clicking them in the inventory or wearing them if they're an armor piece.

(Warning, items from minecraft versions previous to 1.20 might not get updated correctly at all)

Why are things blowing up around me?

Those are probably creepers. The datapack changes their fuse, but some servers skip this new value and default it to 0, making them explode. This was supposedly fixed a few versions ago with the introduction of the /random command, but it keeps happening for some players somehow. If you find this issue, please report it in the issue tracker and specify on which game server are you running the game in.

If you instead want a fix, switch to a vanilla server.

Why are there barrier blocks on the Wandering Trader's tent?

Again? Wandering Trader tents, Witch Huts and Jungle Ruins use markers to summon entities, complete structures or insert loot in chests. The Wandering Trader tent uses some to avoid trees generating inside the structure using barriers, and clears them after.

If there aren't llamas on the pen or the wandering trader, wait around the tent for 30 seconds to see if this gets fixed. If it doesn't, report it on the issue tracker.

Why are copper armor textures broken? Why are custom horse armor textures broken?

The internal shader used to render both armor types breaks when using other Shaders. There are 3 ways to approach this.

1. Remove all leather armor textures in assets/minecraft/textures/models or all leather horse armors in assets/minecraft/textures/entity/horse/armor.
2. Remove your shaders
3. Find a shader that doesn't mess with the vanilla one

Why are thrown copper trident textures broken?

When using Optifine some textures might not get resolved correctly for the tridents. This isn't permanent and reloading the game should fix it.

If it's caused by shaders which break the trident model entirely, remove the file assets/minecraft/optifine/cem/trident.json

Compatibility

Is the pack multiplayer friendly?

It is. Every feature has been designed to work on both servers and singleplayer worlds. While any server host will do, it's greatly recommended to run this datapack in a vanilla server. Any issues feel free to report them on the issue tracker.

Is it compatible with CreepersCode/Terralith/Inferno..?

This datapack has been designed as a standalone product without regards for other datapacks. Some features might clash, so approach with caution.

For now: fully compatible with Terralith if it only modifies overworld worldgen. Partially compatible with TCC, due to conflicting gameplay. Incompatible with Inferno, unless you manually remove the worldgen files of one of the datapacks.
