Frequently asked questions

How do I get started with FTB Obsidian after installing it?
Create or edit the ftbobsidian-startup.snbt config file in your instance's config folder, since that is where all forced resource pack behavior is defined. Datapacks dropped into the root game folder load automatically without any config, so you can start there if you only need datapack auto-loading.
Where does FTB Obsidian look for resource packs and datapacks?
It reads resource packs and datapacks from the root game folders of your instance, not just the standard resourcepacks and datapacks subfolders. This means you can drop packs directly next to the game files and have FTB Obsidian pick them up.
How do I force a resource pack to load without the player enabling it?
Add the pack's ID to the forced resource pack list in ftbobsidian-startup.snbt. FTB Obsidian will then load it at startup regardless of what the player has selected in the resource pack menu.
What is the difference between file-based and folder-based resource pack IDs?
A file-based ID points to a specific pack file, while a folder-based ID points to a directory containing the pack. FTB Obsidian accepts either form in the startup config, so use whichever matches how the pack is stored in your instance.
