Shrink in FTB Skies 2

Shrink is part of the pack's mod list. This pack ships version 2.0.1.47, built for NeoForge. It was already included in this pack's 1.22.0 release or earlier.^[1]

Unverified The sources available for this guide don't describe what Shrink does, who it is for, or where it fits in the pack's progression, so none of that is covered here. I also couldn't confirm any quests tied to the mod or a place on the ATM Star path. Check the mod in-game, and this section will grow once more is confirmed.

Getting started with Shrink in this pack comes down to one item: the Personal Shrinking Device. It is the only Shrink item with a recipe in the pack data, so it is the first thing to make.^[2]

The pack has changed this recipe from the mod's default, so craft it exactly as shown below and don't go by other packs or the mod's own page.^[2]

This is the pack's changed version of the Personal Shrinking Device recipe.

What to do next

1. Craft the Personal Shrinking Device using the recipe above.^[2]
2. Keep a glass bottle handy. Right-clicking a shrunken entity with a glass bottle captures it.^[3]

Same as in the All the Mons 1.3.0 guide

The sources for Shrink cover one item, one keybind and the glass bottle capture: the Personal Shrinking Device and what you can do with it. They do not describe machines, multiblocks, power, fluids or automation, so this section stays short.^[4][5]

The Personal Shrinking Device

The Personal Shrinking Device is made with a shaped crafting recipe, and the pack has changed that recipe. The block below shows the exact in-pack version.^[5]

This is the pack's changed version of the Personal Shrinking Device recipe.

The mod adds a keybind called Toggle Shrink, listed under its own Shrink category in the controls.^[4]

Capturing shrunken entities

The mod's glass bottle has a tooltip that tells you how to capture something: right-click a shrunken entity with the bottle. Once the bottle is filled, the tooltip shows "Contains" followed by what is inside, and it can also show a second name in brackets.^[4]

Shrink has a very short progression path in this pack. The only Shrink item the recipe data shows is the Personal Shrinking Device, so there are no separate tiers to climb through.^[2]

The pack has changed the recipe for the Personal Shrinking Device, so don't rely on the mod's default recipe. It is a shaped crafting recipe, and the exact in-pack version is below.^[2]

Recipe id: shrink:shrinking_device

This is the pack's changed shaped crafting recipe for the device.

Some slots in this recipe accept any item from a shared tag rather than one specific item, so you can use whichever matching variant you have on hand.^[2]

Shrink keeps its settings in one file, and this pack sets every option in it. Here is exactly what the pack uses.^[6]

• maxSize is set to 10. The config labels it the Shrink Max Size.^[6]
• minSize is set to -1. The config labels it the Shrink Min Size.^[6]
• shrinkingDeviceCapacity is set to 100,000. The config labels it the Shrinking Device capacity.^[6]
• shrinkingDeviceCost is set to 100. The config labels it the Shrinking Device cost.^[6]

The first two options are the size settings, and the last two are the Shrinking Device settings. If you want to change any of them, edit the file config/shrink.json5.^[6]
