Requirements

For installing Devorian Steampunk, you will need:

• Minecraft Java edition
• Mod allowing use of shaderpacks – Optifine or Iris
• Shader enabling POM and PBR shading 
  • We suggest using Complementary Shaders, which provide great balance between visuals and performance
  • You can use the resource pack without shaders, however your textures will be without any special effects
    
    

Installation

1. a) Optifine Installation

• Download Optifine
  • Pick the same version as your Minecraft version
• Run the downloaded
• Install Optifine to your .minecraft folder location
• Run Minecraft launcher and choose Optifine profile in bottom left corner

1. b) Iris Installation

• • Download Iris
  • Run the downloaded file
  • Select the version of your game and let it install
  • Run Minecraft launcher and choose Iris and Sodium version
    
    

2. Shaders installation

In this guide, we will use Complementary Shaders as an example. Feel free to try out other shaders, however we can’t guarantee that they will display the resource pack as intended. When setting up the resource pack, look for settings such as normal maps, parallax mapping and PBR.

• Download Complementary Shaders
• Open Minecraft directory folder and drop the .zip file into the “shaderpacks” folder
  • Do not unzip the file!
• Run the game and go to Options > Video Settings > Shaders and select Complementary Shaders shader pack
• For 3D effects, go to Shader Options > Materials and set RP Support to labPBR
• Open Normalmap Related Settings and:
  • Turn on options Normal Mapping, Parallax Occlusion mapping and Self Shadowing
  • Set Parallax Quality to the resolution of Devorian Steampunk that you use (e.g. 64)

3. Enabling Devorian Steampunk

• Open your Minecraft folder
• Put DevorianSteampunkJV_X.zip file into resourcepacks folder
• Run the game and go to Options > Resource packs
• Hover your cursor over DevorianSteampunkJV_X.zip and click on the icon – this will move the pack into the right column
• Confirm by clicking Done button and the pack will load

Note about versions

Currently, Devorian Steampunk is updated to 1.18 until Optifine gets an update as well. However, we have tested it for versions 1.16.0 – 1.18.2. To play in versions 1.17 and below, an adjustment is needed:

• Unzip the pack
• In …assetsminecraftoptifinectmgrass_block_top
  open “grass_block_top.properties” file in any text editor and in “matchBlocks” property rename “dirt_path” to “grass_path” 
• In …assetsminecrafttexturesblock rename folowing textures:
  • dirt_path_side.png
    dirt_path_side_n.png
    dirt_path_side_s.png
    dirt_path_side.png
    dirt_path_side_n.png
    dirt_path_side_s.png
    to
    grass_path_side.png 
    grass_path_side_n.png 
    grass_path_side_s.png 
    grass_path_side.png 
    grass_path_side_n.png 
    grass_path_side_s.png
• Zip all the files back to .zip format and play
• A warning may occur in lower versions about the pack not being compatible with current versions.This is due to the fact that the pack is not specifically set for one certain version, however it should not have any impact on the gameplay.
