How to get SkyFactory 2.4 
New to modded Minecraft? Never used ATLauncher? Not to worry, just follow this guide and you'll be playing SkyFactory in no time!

Step 1:
Download the ATLauncher.

Go to https://www.atlauncher.com/downloads and select your operating system from the three download links at the bottom.

Step 2:
Place the .exe file that you downloaded in its own empty folder and run it. (I put it on my desktop so I could access it quickly)

Step 3:
Click on the "Accounts" tab and add your Minecraft account.

Step 4:
Click on the "Packs" tab and select "New Instance" on the Sky Factory 2 pack. You can search Sky in the search bar if you can't find it.

Step 6:

Step 7 (Optional):
If you choose to skip this step, proceed to step 12.
Go to optifine.net/downloads.php and download OptiFine 1.7.10 HD U D7. Do not install it; ONLY download it.

Step 8 (Optional Continued):

Step 9 (Optional Continued):
Click the "Add Mod" Button. On the small screen that pops up, click the "select" button. Navigate to where you placed
the Optifine file (by default, in your "Downloads" folder) and select it; then hit "add".

Step 10 (Optional Continued):
Check the box next to Optifine, then hit "Enable Mod". Close this window.

Step 11:
Click on the "Settings" tab, then click on the "Java/Minecraft" tab.
Make sure that your Initial Memory/RAM and your Maximum Memory/RAM is set to at least 1024 MB (preferably 4096 MB if your PC has at least 4GB RAM).
It is possible to load the game with these settings, but it may freeze or crash during initialization, and you will experience lag in-game. Higher values up to 4096 MB are recommended.

Step 12:
Click on the "Instances" tab and then click "Play". Depending on how powerful your computer is and how much RAM you allocated, the game can take up to 10 minutes to boot. This is normal and you should not be concerned.

If you followed steps 8-11, don't forget to click "Options" when your game boots up and adjust all the new Video Settings options that the Optifine mod has added, especially making sure that you turn Fast Math to On, Graphics to Fast, Smooth Lighting None, Fog off, Trees to Fast, and most important if you lag: TURN OFF ALL PARTICLES.

Hopefully this tutorial has helped you and I hope to see you on the server soon!

Note: If you are crashing during loading, try increasing your allocated ram to a higher number (as shown in step 12), or updating your java to the latest 64-bit version here:

Achievement Book

As much as we REALLY wanted to keep the achievement book enabled, it turns out that it causes extreme issues in a server environment. As a result I have a copy of the text here for you so you can still follow along and keep track of achievements! Happy hunting!

Welcome To SkyFactory 2!
A Modpack By Bacon_Donut
Hello and welcome to Sky Factory 2, a modded Sky Block mod pack! An infinite world of possibility awaits you...after you build it, of course, because you'll be starting in a void world with nothing between you and death but a single tree on one piece of dirt. But don't panic! The mods in this pack will allow you to get all the resources you need to build yourself an amazing world! Read on for more info about how to play this pack, who put it together, and for a list of goals for you to accomplish!

How To Use This List
You will see challenges broken into ages that represent the general path of progression, although you do not need to do them in order. Simply check the box next to each challenge as you complete them. Careful though, they get harder as you go along!

Credits

The Challenges
You can't ever "beat" the pack, but I've provided a list of challenges designed to help you progress, and give direction to your play. Don't worry if you don't know how to do some of them, have fun with the process of searching for answers. You'll learn at lot and have some fun too!| |They are divided into ages that roughly match up to game progression, but you do NOT have to do them in order!

Banned Item List

Note: This article was originally written by Rttlr.

Because we want you to be able to experience the modpack as it is meant to be played, we have banned as few items as possible. Here is the complete list of banned items on our server.

Note: Reactors are not banned but their max size is reduced from the insane default max of 50x50 to a much more reasonable (but still more prolific than anyone could need) 20x20. If your reactor is well-designed it will still output more power than you could ever possibly use. You may build multiple reactors, but only for the purposes of providing power to areas that your first reactor can not reach due to chunks unloading.
