Spawn Detector can show you where mobs can spawn so you can light properly.

Special note for Spawn Detector: The keybind for toggling it on is set to "L" by default, which conflicts with default keybind. Open the Controls -> Keybind screen in Minecraft, scroll all the way down and you can change which key toggles on Spawn Detector.

1. Download things

  • Rift is a lightweight mod framework that enables other mods.
  • OptiFine provides a lot of nice graphical features and performance boost.
  • VoxelMap is a in-game map mod that displays a minimap on your screen, allows you to save waypoints, and more.

To install these mods follow these steps.

  1. Install and run Minecraft, ensure you have updated to and launched latest verison of Minecraft at least once
  2. Download and install Java if you don't have it already
  3. Download the latest version of Rift (mod loader) here.
  4. Download the appropriate version of VoxelMap here.
  5. Download the appropriate version of Optifine here.

2. Install Rift (A mod loader)

Find the Rift file that you downloaded and double click it. You should receive a message stating that Rift for Minecraft 1.13.x has been successfully installed.

3. Install your mods

To install your mods, just drop the .jar files you downloaded for VoxelMap and Optifine in to the "mods" folder found in your minecraft directory. (Which is "%appdata%/.minecraft/mods") That's it. They should be running when you launch the game using the Rift 1.13.x profile on the launcher.

Forge is not updated and there is no news on when it will be. We are using Rift now, because of that. Liteloader seems to have been abandoned.

3. Expand Java memory allocation

You might run into a insufficient memory error. The stock Java memory allocation for Minecraft is only 1GB. We recommend upping it to 4GB to accommodate larger worlds and resource packs.

  1. Launch Minecraft, in the launcher:
  2. Click "Launch options"
  3. Toggle "Advanced settings" on, and accept the warning
  4. Click the new profile that you named
  5. Toggle "JVM arguments" on
  6. Change -Xmx1G to -Xmx4G
  7. Click "Save"
  8. Click "News" to go back home
  9. Click the up arrow next to "Play" button and select the new profile
  10. Click "Play"

4. Install Resource Packs

We recommend two resource packs, Chroma Hills and Lithos HD Font. You're free to use others as well, with the exception of any X-Ray packs. Any resource pack that allows cheating is prohibited.

  1. Once in-game, click "Options"
  2. Click "Resource Packs"
    1. Click "Open Resource Pack Folder"
    2. Copy the two files in the "Resource Packs" folder you originally downloaded from Dropbox, into this folder, keep the folder window open
    3. Go back in game and click "Done"
  3. Click "Resource Packs" again
  4. You'll now see the two files listed under "Available Resource Packs"
    1. Click the right arrow of "ChromaHills" to add to "Selected Resource Packs"
    2. Click the right arrow of "Lithos HD Font" to add to "Selected Resource Packs"
    3. Click "Done"

You're all set!
