# Reaper's Sky

A curated Minecraft modpack about airships, exploration, and tech progression.
**Minecraft 1.21.1 / NeoForge 21.1.248** — 75 mods.

## Install (Prism Launcher) — one link

1. Open Prism Launcher → **Add Instance → Import from ZIP**.
2. Paste the raw URL to the `.mrpack` file in this repository
   (e.g. `https://git.reaperofveriod.nl/ReaperOfVeriod/Reaper-s-Sky/raw/branch/main/ReapersSky-1.0.0.mrpack`).
3. Import. Prism downloads all mods, applies configs/shaders/resource pack, and sets the instance up automatically.
4. (First launch) Allocate 8 GB RAM in **Settings → Java → Memory**. Requires Java 21.

## Key config already applied

- **Flywheel backend forced to `flywheel:indirect`** — fixes the Create throttle-lever
  "ghost image" artifact under Iris shaders.
- **aero-shadow-fix** bundled — fixes the white balloon ghost.
- Iris is preset to load the included Complementary Reimagined shaderpack.
- `irisflw replaceCheckerboardTexture = true` for correct textures under shaders.

## After import

- Enable **Fresh Animations** in Options → Resource Packs (ships alongside 3D Skin Layers).
- If shaders look off, verify the Complementary pack is active in Options → Video Settings → Shader Packs.

## Rebuilding the pack (maintainers)

`python3 build_mrpack.py` regenerates the `.mrpack` from a live instance located at
`~/.local/share/PrismLauncher/instances/Create Aeronautics - Airship & Expansion/.minecraft`.
Set `MODS_DIR` / `OVERRIDES` at the top of the script to point at a different instance.

## Known limitations

- Create Aeronautics has *known* visual issues under Iris; the bundled config/mods
  resolve the most visible ones (balloon + throttle lever). Occasional artifacts on
  animated Create instances may still appear.
- Shader uniform warnings in the log (`_flw_cullData`, `flw_frustumPlanes`) from Veil
  are cosmetic and do not affect rendering on the `indirect` backend.
