The Gauntlet of Chaos

This pack is focused on surviving the harsh environment in a modded hardcore scenario.
There are multiple dangers in the form of natural disasters, new mobs, dungeons and bosses.
In multiplayer, players can be rescued within a time limit if downed. Upon death, a corpse is left behind. Extra lives can be earned through progress.
Follow the Quest Book (with completely custom built quests), and take on the Gauntlet of Chaos, as you beat each boss in the pack to restore order to the world.
Includes some light magic and tech mods, as well as custom ship building for travel.

Note: Still designing. Everything is subject to change.

Running a server

To run a server, follow the directions for using packwiz, in the "Using a Modpack with a server" section of the Packwiz Installer Tutorial{:target="_blank"}. If you use docker or podman, you can refer to the example docker-compose file{:target="_blank"}, which uses the itzg/minecraft-server{:target="_blank"} image.

Building the modpack

Requirements

• Packwiz{:target="_blank"} for managing the included mods and files.
• Git LFS{:target="_blank"} for handling larger files like internal .jar mod files.

How to build

• After adding or updating internal files like configs, run packwiz refresh to update the index. The index should be updated and committed after each change on the master branch.
• Run packwiz serve to host a local webserver, serving the mod files for local testing.

Building the webpage locally

Requirements

• Jekyll{:target="_blank"} for building GitHub pages site locally.

How to build

• Run bundle install to install any missing dependency gems.
• Run bundle exec jekyll serve to build and serve the Ruby site locally.

Releasing updates

The .github/workflows/static.yml file defines a GitHub Actions workflow, which builds the site and hosts it along with all mod files on GitHub Pages.
This workflow is configured to automatically publish on new commits to the master branch.
