What is Shrink?
1 part
Shrink is in the pack at version 1.4.5. Its item is the Personal Shrinking Device, and that is the only Shrink item the pack's quest book asks you for.[1][2]
Where the quest book puts it
Shrink's own quest, "Shrinking Device" quest, is in the "Useful mods and Items" chapter, which is chapter 3 of 44 in the book and holds 37 quests. The quest asks you to obtain the Personal Shrinking Device, and that is its only task.[1][2]
Nearby quests in the same chapter ask for other items, for example "Magnet" quest (a magnet), "Construction Wand" quest (a construction wand) and "Tool Belt" quest (a tool belt). The quest data does not show the chapter's visual order or any group for Shrink's quest, so which quest comes right before or after it is unverified.[2]
Unverified What the Personal Shrinking Device actually does, how it is crafted in this pack and any config options are not confirmed by the sources for this section, so check them in game before relying on them.
How do you get started with Shrink?
3 parts
Shrink is a small mod in this pack, and the first step is simple: make the Personal Shrinking Device. It is the only Shrink item the pack's quest book asks you for.[2][3]
Step 1: craft the Personal Shrinking Device
The pack's quest book has a quest for it, "Shrinking Device" quest, in the chapter "Useful mods and Items" (chapter 3 of 44). The quest just asks you to obtain the device, so crafting it completes it. The recipe is a shaped crafting recipe that comes from the mod itself, so the pack has not changed it. Here is the exact in-pack recipe:[2][4]
Crafting Shaped
| any iron ingot | any ender pearl | any iron ingot |
| any iron ingot | any glass | any iron ingot |
| any iron ingot | any iron ingot |
Recipe id: shrink:shrinking_device
Step 2: find the Shrink controls
Once you have the device, open your controls menu. Shrink adds a keybind called "Toggle Shrink" under its own "Shrink" category, so you can check or change the key there.[3]
Step 3: capturing shrunken mobs
The mod's own text says you can right-click a shrunken entity with a glass bottle to capture it. That is all the sources say about this feature, so test it yourself in a safe spot before you rely on it.[3]
How does Shrink work?
3 parts
Shrink is a small mod, and in this pack everything runs through one item: the Personal Shrinking Device. There are no machines, multiblocks, power or fluid systems to set up, at least none that the pack's data shows. What you get is a handheld device, a keybind and a way to bottle up shrunken creatures.[3][4]
Getting the device
The Personal Shrinking Device is made in a normal shaped crafting recipe. The pack lists it as the mod's own recipe, so this pack has not changed it. Here is the exact recipe as it works in the pack:[4]
Crafting Shaped
| any iron ingot | any ender pearl | any iron ingot |
| any iron ingot | any glass | any iron ingot |
| any iron ingot | any iron ingot |
Recipe id: shrink:shrinking_device
Toggling shrink
The mod adds a keybind called "Toggle Shrink", which sits in its own "Shrink" category in the controls menu. Check your key settings to see which key it uses and to rebind it if you like.[3]
Capturing shrunken entities
Once an entity is shrunken, you can right-click it with a glass bottle to capture it. That is the mod's own tooltip text for the bottle, so it is the main way to carry a shrunken creature around.[3]
Unverified The sources do not explain how the device is used to shrink something, how long the effect lasts, or what you can do with a captured entity afterwards. They also say nothing about automation. This pack has no config files for Shrink, so there are no pack-side values to tweak.
How do you progress through Shrink?
2 parts
Shrink doesn't have a tier ladder in this pack. The sources I have show a single item from the mod, the Personal Shrinking Device, so there is no tier-by-tier breakdown to walk through.[2][4]
Where it sits in the quest book
The pack's quest book has a dedicated quest for it, "Shrinking Device" quest, in the chapter "Useful mods and Items". That is chapter 3 of 44 in the book and holds 37 quests. The quest asks you to have the Personal Shrinking Device.[2]
The same chapter has a separate quest, "Compact Machines" quest. Its tasks are an item from the compactmachines namespace and an itemfilters:or item, not the shrink one, so don't mix the two quests up when you're ticking things off.[2]
Crafting it
The recipe dump lists the device as a shaped crafting recipe that comes from the mod itself, not a pack override. Here is the exact in-pack recipe:[4]
Crafting Shaped
| any iron ingot | any ender pearl | any iron ingot |
| any iron ingot | any glass | any iron ingot |
| any iron ingot | any iron ingot |
Recipe id: shrink:shrinking_device
Which Project Infinity 0.1 quests use Shrink?
2 parts
Shrink only shows up in one quest, and it's a simple one. You'll find "Shrinking Device" quest in the chapter "Useful mods and Items", which is chapter 3 of 44 in the quest book and holds 37 quests.[2]
What the quest asks for
The task is to have the Personal Shrinking Device (shown in game as Personal Shrinking Device). It is the only task, and the quest has no description text of its own.[2]
Don't mix it up with Compact Machines
The same chapter has a separate quest, "Compact Machines" quest, which also deals with a shrinking device. That one asks for a different item from the Compact Machines mod (compactmachines:personal_shrinking_device) plus an item filter, so it doesn't count for the Shrink mod's own quest.[2]
The sources don't say which quests in the chapter come before or after the Shrink quest, so I won't guess at an order for it.[2]
What changed in Shrink between versions?
1 part
This pack ships Shrink 1.4.5 (the file is Shrink-1.20.1-1.4.5.jar), and that is the version you get in Project Infinity 0.1 0.0.51.4-hotfix-2. Shrink was already in the pack by 0.0.45.4 or earlier, so it has been around for a while.[1]
Shrink 1.4.5
- Fixed the camera not changing when AlexesCaves is installed. This is the only change listed in the mod's 1.4.5 changelog.[5]
The pack changelogs I have don't have any entries about Shrink, so there are no pack-specific changes to report for this mod.[1]
