Better Than Spectrumcraft
Spectrumcraft SMP modpack but build on BTA/Babric!!!
About this Modpack
Better than Spectrumcraft
This is a modpack made on the modified version of Beta 1.7.3 called Better than adventure, the modpack is separated due to Its nature of being in a completely different version of the game that doesn't really work well with the mrpack format
How do I install it?
First you need to download a modded version of BTA called Babric, these can be found here
The first edition of the modpack uses the 7.2_01 version, you have to download the instance, and create one on MultiMC or Prism Launcher with the import tab
Once this is all done, move the mods, config, options, and everything from the modpack to the new instance folder, this is the only way to do it since due to the nature of mrpack files and the lack of support for Babric on both MultiMC and Prism Launcher
