Shrink guide for All the Mods 10 2.24 to 4.5

Shrink is a small utility mod that the pack ships at version 2.0.1.47, built for NeoForge. It has been in the pack since version 2.24 or earlier, so it isn't a recent addition.^[1]

The mod's item is the Personal Shrinking Device. The pack has a quest in the tips_and_tricks chapter whose task is to obtain that item: a quest in "?". The quest has no title in the quest file.^[2]

Because the quest sits in the tips_and_tricks chapter, the pack treats the device as a handy extra rather than a core progression step. That placement is the only progression hint in the sources.^[2]

Unverified The sources don't say how the Personal Shrinking Device works, how to craft it, or what its settings are, so none of that is covered here. Check the in-game item tooltip or the quest itself before relying on specifics.

Getting started with Shrink in this pack comes down to one item: the Personal Shrinking Device. Everything else in the mod builds on having it, so make it first.^[3]

Step 1: Craft the Personal Shrinking Device

The pack changed this recipe, so go by the one below and not by what you may remember from the mod's default or from other modpacks. The recipe block shows exactly what you need in this pack.^[3]

This is the pack's modified recipe for the Personal Shrinking Device.

The pack's quest book also has a quest for this item, a quest in "?", in the tips_and_tricks chapter. Its task is the Personal Shrinking Device itself.^[2]

Step 2: Keep a glass bottle handy

The mod's empty mob bottle tooltip says you right-click a shrunken entity with a glass bottle to capture it. So once you have shrunken something, a glass bottle is what you reach for next.^[4]

Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide

The sources for Shrink only cover a small part of the mod, so this section is short. They describe one crafted item and one capture interaction, and nothing about machines, multiblocks, power, fluids or automation.^[4][5]

The Personal Shrinking Device

The Personal Shrinking Device is crafted in a normal crafting grid with a shaped recipe. The pack changes this recipe from the mod's default, so use the one below rather than anything you remember from other packs.^[5]

Capturing shrunken entities

The mod's bottle tooltip tells you to right-click a shrunken entity with a glass bottle to capture it.^[4]

Shrink is a very small part of this pack's progression. The only Shrink item the sources confirm is the Personal Shrinking Device, so there are no tiers to climb here: you craft the device and that's it.^[2][3]

Getting the Personal Shrinking Device

The pack changes the crafting recipe for the Personal Shrinking Device, so don't rely on what you remember from the mod's defaults. The recipe below is the exact one used in this pack.^[3]

Quest path

Shrink appears once in the pack's quest book. The quest a quest in "?" sits in the tips_and_tricks chapter, has no title in the quest file, and its task is to obtain the Personal Shrinking Device.^[2]

Shrink only shows up in one place in the quest book: the "tips_and_tricks" chapter. There is a single quest for it, a quest in "?", and it has no title in the pack's quest file.^[2]

The quest has one task: you need to have the Personal Shrinking Device (the Personal Shrinking Device). Nothing else is listed for it in the source, so there are no extra steps or other tasks to worry about.^[2]

Unverified The quest's rewards, its description text and its position within the tips_and_tricks chapter are not shown in the available data, so they are unverified.

Here's what the sources let me confirm about how Shrink has changed in the pack. All the Mods 10 4.5 ships Shrink 2.0.1.47, using the file shrink-2.0.1.47-neoforge.jar.^[1]

• Shrink was already in the pack by All the Mods 10 2.24 or earlier, so it has been around for a good while.^[1]
• All the Mods 10 2.42 updated Shrink from 2.0.0.44 to 2.0.1.47, which is the version you get in 4.5.^[1][6]

Unverified The sources don't include any mod changelogs for the Shrink jars shipped in the pack, so what changed between 2.0.0.44 and 2.0.1.47 (new features, fixes or balance tweaks) is unverified. Pack changelogs between 2.42 and 4.5 don't mention any further Shrink updates in the sources I had.
