Aristois

Although Aristois is already hidden from the f3 menu in-game, maybe you want to hide it in the launcher or versions folder also. You can also rename it to keep multiple of the same Aristois version. The best way to make it hidden is to mimic OptiFine, so that's what I will show in the instructions.

Note: You cannot name a version to vanilla (for example, 1.16.5), because it will overwrite it. If you name it the same as another profile it will overwrite it also.

1. Close the game and launcher, and go to .minecraft/versions.
2. Locate the version you want to edit. Rename the folder to 1.16.5-OptiFine_HD_U_G7.
3. Open the folder you just renamed. Inside is a .json and a .jar. Rename both of these also to 1.16.5-OptiFine_HD_U_G7.
4. Open the .json file you renamed with a text editor like notepad. Edit the part that says "id": "1.16.5-Aristois", to "id": "1.16.5-OptiFine_HD_U_G7",. Don't forget to save.
5. Now you should see "release 1.16.5-OptiFine_HD_U_G7" as an option in the launcher.

It doesn't have to be OptiFine either. You can rename the profile to whatever you want, but the files must all have the same name.

@walter-white In this case you would add all the "All the Mods" mods into the folder mentioned in the video

StructureFinder is a mod in the Render category that allows you to easily locate strongholds, ocean monuments, woodland mansions, and buried treasure.

To find strongholds: (also available as a video here)
1. Throw one eye of ender.
2. Walk/fly 100 - 500 blocks away from where you threw it, and throw a second eye.
3. StructureFinder will now create a waypoint to the stronghold. Enable Waypoints and follow it.
4. If you reach the waypoint and do not see a stronghold, it may be a little bit off. Throw another eye, and it will give a new location.
5. Repeat this until you find the stronghold. It should only take 1 or 2 tries. I suggest enabling bookshelves on XRay to easily locate them.
 

To find ocean monuments/woodland mansions:
1. Trade with a cartographer to get an ocean explorer map/a woodland explorer map.
2. With StructureFinder enabled, open the map.
3. StructureFinder will then create a new waypoint to the structure. Enable Waypoints to locate.
 

To find buried treasure:
1. Locate a shipwreck.
2. Get the buried treasure map from the map chest.
3. With StructureFinder enabled, open the map.
4. StructureFinder will then create a new waypoint to the buried treasure. Enable Waypoints to locate.
 

Can it find end cities/another structure not listed here?
- It currently only locates things that use maps, and strongholds.

@didku Hi, I just made a FAQ post about this. See it here: https://discuss.aristois.net/topic/225/

It sounds like you did the right steps, but double check. They must all be named the same thing, don't forget to save, and the game must be closed to update it.

Does it not appear in the release tab or? You need to make a new installation

Short answer:
- Yes, Aristois is 100% safe to use, as long as you download it from our official website, and do not press anything on the adfly page.

VirusTotal - https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/4a4e9f8d9eae98098d438beeb81ff0714fc9a94506dcbda12de242460b7236c9
 

Longer answer:
- Aristois files that come directly from our website are official and are guaranteed to be safe. We cannot guarantee that a download from a third-party website will be safe, especially if the file has been reuploaded. The Aristois-Free installer is a .zip file, and we do not use .exe. We encourage users to only download the mod from aristois.net/download, which will redirect to our GitLab.

The only "real" threat that is uncontrollable by us is the content displayed on the adfly page. Unfortunately we do not control what is displayed on these pages. As long as you do not click on anything except for "Skip ad" you will be fine. Keep in mind that an infected webpage is not the same as a virus on your computer. Simply close the window and it will be gone. If you are having difficulties with the adfly, you can use the direct download link here.

Our installer is a .jar file, because it is universal for most operating systems. It's common that some browsers, operating systems, and antivirus softwares give a warning to .jar files. If you were to try and install forge, optifine, or other similar mods, you will get the exact same error. This is just a standard warning, and doesn't mean the file is actually harmful.

If you do not want to use the .jar installer, we have manual zip files available on the download page as well. They are simply a .json file.

While Aristois itself is not open sourced, the framework, installer, marketplace, and many other parts are. You can see them here https://gitlab.com/Aristois and here https://gitlab.com/EMC-Framework.

If you have any more questions about how safe Aristois is to use, please don't hesitate to DM me @dyiing or @deftware, or email us!

You're not a true Aristois user if you haven't curiously changed your scale to 4 and then watched the GUI go off your screen.

Use the command .scale set X to change your scale to a specific number, or .scale restore to reset to the default (1).

@mxnding Do you mean that when you start the game your Minecraft account becomes the demo?

I would try logging out and back into the launcher first. If that does not work, try deleting the directory .minecraft/libraries/me/deftware/EMC-F-v2/latest-(mc version).

How to allocate more RAM to Aristois

Sometimes the default amount of RAM (2G) is not enough to load Aristois along with Fabric and other mods, so the game may freeze or lag, especially in versions 1.18 and higher. This can be fixed by allocating more RAM to the launcher profile.

Before doing this, check how much RAM your computer has, so you can determine the appropriate amount to allocate. You should never allocate more than half your total RAM, and it's not necessary to allocate more than 6-8G (unless you are using heavy shaders, modpacks, or texture packs). 3G or 4G should be plenty if your game is freezing due to allocation, if you add more and it does not help, it's probably a different issue.

Steps:

1. Close the game, and open the Minecraft launcher.
2. Go to the Installations tab.
3. Click on the Aristois profile to edit it, then click "More Options" at the bottom.
4. Under "JVM Arguments", change -Xmx2G to the desired RAM amount. For example, -Xmx4G for 4 gigs.
5. Save and play.

it still technically uses java, but without the trouble of installing it.
This won't work with custom directories, see here

@goosecowman said in mods were working, not they aren't:

@dyiing ttp://www.mediafire.com/file/rwik8bqlph47n3c/OriginsModpackForTheServerV3.zip/file

Thanks! Took a peek and it seems it's caused by BYG (Oh the biomes you'll go). Tried upgrading and downgrading versions but nothing seems to work. I don't have a solution for it besides removing it currently (which it is server-side unfortunately). I will look into the issue further and reply again if anything new arises.

@cataru You can't search for it there. And also that directory won't exist, because of latest-(version). You need to replace it with your mc version (for example, latest-1.16.5).

Press win + r to open this menu, and then paste the following and press "OK":
%appdata%/.minecraft/libraries/me/deftware/emc-f-v2/

Probably related to Forge itself

@ezekielx It currently does not work as intended in 1.16.x and we are looking into it.

Already exists. It's called AutoOffhand

Forge is only on 1.8.9 - 1.12.2 & 1.16.4/5

@zaede Shaders still work. Adjust your "Smooth Lighting" toggle. (not the slider)

@switchblade38

what is the reason for 1.16.4 optifine being used here?

It's not being used here. The issue is your file in .minecraft/mods/ is for 1.16.4. Delete it so it can reinstall the correct one.

@lixrd You need to enable "attack animals" in the combat settings

OptiFine is not stable to use with Aristois and shaders. It breaks many things.
