Installing it

About ten minutes, most of it spent waiting on the mod downloads. The order matters: the modpack builds the instance, and the world goes inside it.

1. Get a launcher that reads .mrpack

   The Modrinth App is free and needs no setup. Prism Launcher and ATLauncher work too. The vanilla Minecraft launcher cannot do this — it has no way to install mods.

2. Open the modpack file

   Double-click WanderCraft-S2-Modpack-1.0.0.mrpack, or use Add instance → From file in your launcher. It builds a Minecraft 1.21.11 instance on Fabric 0.18.4 and downloads the mods itself. This is the slow step.

3. Launch it once, then quit

   Start the instance and wait until you reach the Minecraft title screen, then close the game. You are not playing yet — this is what creates the saves folder the world needs to go into.

4. Unzip the world

   Extract the archive. You should end up with a single folder with level.dat sitting directly inside it. If you find a folder containing another folder, go one level deeper — the one holding level.dat is the one Minecraft wants.

5. Drop the folder into saves

   In the Modrinth App, open the instance’s three-dot menu and choose Open folder; in Prism, right-click the instance and choose Folder. Move the unzipped world folder into saves, alongside any other worlds.

6. Play it

   Launch the instance again and the world is waiting in your Singleplayer list. You will arrive at the old server spawn.

Before you start

Edition

Minecraft: Java Edition. Bedrock cannot open this world or run these mods.

Version

1.21.11 on Fabric Loader 0.18.4. The modpack pins both, so you do not have to.

Memory

4 GB allocated to the instance is enough to play. Give it 6 GB if you want the shaders on.

Disk space

About 2.5 GB all in — 913 MB for the unzipped world, 345 MB of mods, and Minecraft itself.

What is in the pack

Eighty-six mods, and these are the ones you will notice.

• Camerapture

  The in-game camera behind the album in this save — nine hundred photographs the Wanderers took of each other, still hanging where they were placed.

• Simple Voice Chat

  Proximity voice. Most of what you have heard in Season 2 footage came through this.

• Xaero’s Minimap & World Map

  The map the creators actually navigated with. Their waypoints came down with the world.

• Iris & Sodium

  Shaders, and a large framerate gain over vanilla. Five packs ship with the modpack — Complementary, BSL, Photon and Solas — with the creators’ own settings already saved.

• Dungeons and Taverns, Stellarity, Promenade

  The structures and worldgen that shaped where everyone settled. Season 2 looks the way it does because of these.

• Flashback

  Records and replays a session with a free camera. Also the largest single mod in the pack, at 202 MB of the 345.

Check it arrived whole

Downloads this large do get cut short, and a truncated world will not open. Worth thirty seconds before you spend ten minutes installing.
