Because of the amount of mods included, starting GTNH can take much longer than other modpacks. On lower end PCs, 30 minute start times are normal. On even high end PCs, expect 5 minute start times. If Minecraft looks like it has locked up, wait a few more minutes. [[Low_End_PCs|Low End PCs]] has tips and configuration suggestions to help with playing on potato-PCs. The only launcher that does not support GT:NH properly is CurseForge. MultiMC, ATLauncher, Technic and Prism are all viable options, but Curse is known to have issues downloading and installing this modpack. It's also often out of date, and attempted updates can break existing installs. In short, do yourself a favor and don't use Curse. If you do, don't complain in chat about it, because you'll be told to get a different launcher. |

"Realistic Alpha" is the default and ''only'' [[World Generation]] setting available for GT:NH, a custom configuration of Biomes o' Plenty and Realistic World Generation. If some other world type is forced, [[Ore Generation]] may not work properly. |
