Playing

Four worlds share one address, and each has a modpack you install once. The pack is exactly what the server runs, plus the client-side mods that make it look and run better, so a pack from here can always join its world.

minecraft.hu-tao.dev and the server’s bare IP also reach world 1. Each world’s page says what its mods do and lists every one of them.

Each world’s page also links a with options build: the same pack with hutao’s settings to start from (video, sound, key bindings), from packs/options. They are only a starting point: change anything in game and the pack’s updates leave it alone.

Installing a pack

A .mrpack is a Modrinth modpack: a small file listing the mods, which your launcher downloads from Modrinth and checks. Any launcher that imports Modrinth packs works; these two are the usual ones.

  • Prism Launcher: Add Instance → Import, then paste the pack’s link (or pick the downloaded file).
  • Modrinth App: download the pack, then drag it onto the app, or use Import from file when creating an instance.

Modrinth’s own guide covers the same steps with screenshots: Modpacks on Modrinth.

The links never change. When a pack is updated, the same link serves the new version: import it again (or update the instance) and you match the server.

Joining

You need to be on the world’s whitelist; ask for it. Then add the address from the table as a server and join.

Worlds sleep when nobody is on, to save the server’s memory. If the server list says Asleep. Join to wake it up, join anyway: that wakes it. The first attempt may time out after about 30 seconds: that is the world starting, not your connection. A minute or two later, join again. A world goes back to sleep ten minutes after the last player leaves. At most two worlds are awake at once, so if two others are busy, the third waits its turn.

Something is wrong

  • The game crashes on launch, or the server says a mod is missing or the wrong version: your pack is out of date. Import the pack from its link again.
  • “You are not whitelisted on this server”: ask to be added.
  • A world will not wake while two others are up: that is the limit, not a fault.
