When starting a fresh playthrough in Prominence II or your own custom modpack, you need to attach the Archers Expansion balancing data pack during world setup so the revised archer class stats take effect from the start.
Adding the Pack During World Creation
1. Open the Singleplayer menu and click Create New World.
2. Navigate to the More tab or click the Data Packs button directly, depending on your menu layout.
3. Click Open Pack Folder to launch your system's file explorer.
4. Copy or move the balancing data pack file into this temporary folder, then return to your Minecraft window.
5. Hover over the pack in the Available column on the left and click the arrow icon to move it into the Selected column on the right.
Setting Load Priority
Make sure the balancing data pack sits above the base mod data in the Selected column. Placing it higher in the list ensures its modified stats override the default values from the main Archers Expansion. Click Done to return to the setup screen, finish configuring your game rules, and generate the world. Once inside, the Deadeye, Tundra, and War Archer spellbooks will automatically use the adjusted Prominence II power levels so no single class dominates bow combat.
