# SCICRAFT — The Dark Photon Protocol
|
|
|
|
> *"The last signal of the Second Renegade Flight hums in your blood.
|
|
> Rebuild the Lattice. The Protocol is never finished — only maintained."*
|
|
|
|
SCICRAFT is a 140+ mod **NeoForge 1.21.1** kitchen-sink modpack with a
|
|
sci-fi / Whovian story layer. A collapsed star-empire is leaking back into
|
|
reality through the Dimensional Doors; you are a proto-Time-Lord engineer
|
|
rebuilding the **Quantum Lattice** — the emitter of the Dark Photon Protocol
|
|
— and holding the global **Corruption Tide** at bay.
|
|
|
|
The entire pack is managed with **packwiz** and ships as two synchronized
|
|
packs: a full client pack and a server-only pack.

Both packs are identical except the client pack adds render/shader/visual
|
|
mods. Keep them in sync after any change:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|

rm -rf client_pack/kubejs && cp -r server_pack/kubejs client_pack/kubejs
|
|
```
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Install — server
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone git@git.mithraic.cloud:ad3laid3/SciCraft.git
|
|
cd SciCraft
|
|
|
|
packwiz install --dir server_pack
|
|
java -Xms2G -Xmx6G -jar server_pack/neoforge-21.1.248-installer.jar --installServer
|
|
|
|
# accept EULA (server_pack/eula.txt), then launch with the recommended flags:
|
|
java -Xms4G -Xmx8G -XX:+UseG1GC \
|
|
-XX:+ParallelRefProcEnabled -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=200 \
|
|
-XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+DisableExplicitGC \
|
|
-XX:G1NewSizePercent=30 -XX:G1MaxNewSizePercent=40 \
|
|
-XX:G1HeapRegionSize=8M -XX:G1ReservePercent=20 \
|
|
-jar server_pack/neoforge-21.1.248-server.jar nogui
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Recommended `server.properties`: `view-distance=8`, `simulation-distance=6`.
|
|
Full details in **SERVER_MASTER_GUIDE.md**.
|
|
|
|
## Install — client
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone git@git.mithraic.cloud:ad3laid3/SciCraft.git
|
|
cd SciCraft
|
|
packwiz install --dir client_pack
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Add `client_pack` as a **packwiz** modpack in your launcher
|
|
(Prism/ATLauncher/PolyMC) or use `packwiz serve` from `client_pack` and
|
|
install via the Modrinth/packwiz installers. Drop a shaderpack into
|
|
`client_pack/shaderpacks/` — see the README there for the 4 GB VRAM preset.
|
|
|
|
> **Multiplayer:** players join with the **client pack**; the server runs
|
|
> the **server pack**. Never put client-only mods on the server (see the
|
|
> client-only list in SERVER_MASTER_GUIDE.md §2).

## The story (short version)
|
|
|
|
1. **Dark photons are real** — a fifth force the Second Renegade Flight
|
|
harnessed. They are the binding force of the Door.
|
|
2. **You are a proto-Time-Lord** — the only one who can read the Protocol.
|
|
3. **The wound** — the Flight's seal on a collapsed star-empire is failing.
|
|
The Void Dimension is the leak; the Deeper and Darker is what answers.
|
|
4. **The Protocol** — rebuild the Quantum Lattice and keep it online.
|
|
5. **The Corruption Tide** — rises while Doors go unsealed (global, all
|
|
players share). Re-seal Doors at the Lattice with a Void Stabilizer.
|
|
No fail state — soft escalation only.
|
|
6. **The Doctor connection is atmospheric only** — Renegade Glass,
|
|
*Per Spatium*, portal styling. Never plot-driving.
|
|
|
|
