Welcome

Hello & welcome to the Shingeki no Craft Datapack!
Here you can learn how to Download, install and activate both the datapack and resourcepack for Shingeki no Craft.
But, what is a datapack? isn't it the same as a mod?
Well yes, but actually no. A datapack is built in Minecraft, they have more limitations than regular mods as they can’t alter everything in the game,
but
they are actually easier to install and use once, so let’s get started.

How to download

Right now there's support for Minecraft 1.16.5 up to the most recent version.
Before you download the datapack you should know this:

Resourcepack (Required)

The resourcepack contains all the models and sounds so it is required to function!
There's a single version of the resourcepack which is required for the datapack to function properly. Otherwise all titans will be invisible!

Datapack (Required)

There are two datapack versions, one exclusively for 1.16 and the other one for 1.17+ and onward.

Download from Modrinth (recommended) or Planet Minecraft.

Free for ever.
Make sure the resourcepack and the datapack versions are the same.

[Optional] Recommended mods and settings

[Highly recommend] Optifine (or Custom Entity Model / CEM) for versions 1.3.8 and below

We recommend the use of Optifine if you use Forge (or Custom Entity Model - CEM if you use Fabric.)
While Optifine is optional, it is highly recommended to use even in normal Minecraft.
If you don’t know about Optifine, It is a popular mod for Minecraft that is used to optimize the game's performance and improve its graphics. It is known for its ability to improve the game's frame rate, reduce lag, and add a variety of graphical enhancements, such as dynamic lighting, improved textures, and more. It is available for download on the official Optifine website. To use Optifine, you will need to install the Optifine mod using the instructions provided on the Optifine website. Once Optifine is installed, you can enable it in your game by selecting it from the list of available mods in the game's "Options" menu.
We use a special feature of Optifine to avoid titans models wobbling around and other minor options.

For Fabric users get Custom Entity Model (CEM):

[Recommended] Pehkui camera mod

Recommended for a better experience using the shifters (Specially Colossal Titan).
Using this mod will increase the third person view (only in single player, must be configured to work on servers).
