Installing Brickcraft in 6 Easy Steps

1

Download Your Brickcraft .zip

Grab your version on Download / Patreon. Leave it as a .zip file (don’t extract it!).

2

Start Minecraft With Fabulously Optimized

Launch Minecraft Java using Fabulously Optimized (or Sodium + Iris + MoreCulling) so 3D studs run fast and smooth.

3

Drop the ZIP Into Resource Packs

In Minecraft click Options → Resource Packs → Open Pack Folder (or Win+R → %appdata%\.minecraft\resourcepacks) and drop the ZIP in.

4

Move Brickcraft to the Top

Click the arrow on Brickcraft to move it to the active right column and hit Done. Getting Resource reload failed? Use our Pack Fixer!

5

Add Lux or Kappa Shader

For Premium or Extreme, open Options → Video Settings → Shader Packs → Open Shader Pack Folder and drop your shader ZIP inside.

6

Load Our Ready-Made .txt Shader Profile

Import our ready-made .txt profile inside Iris Shader Options below (or match its filename to your shader ZIP) so plastic bricks shine and leaves stay solid!

Launcher RAM Tip

Allocate Enough Memory in Your Launcher

Minecraft defaults to only 2 GB of RAM! In your Minecraft Launcher / Prism / Modrinth App, set memory allocation to 6–8 GB RAM for Premium (512x) or 8–12 GB RAM for Extreme (1024x).

Add-on Load Order

Using the Glowing Ores Add-on?

Place Brickcraft - Glowing Ores Addon.zip directly ABOVE your main Brickcraft pack in the active right-hand Resource Packs column so its glowing ore textures take priority.
