Techage Manual

All techage manuals (EN/DE) are available ingame (craft the 'TA Construction Board') or use the manual on GitHub.

Licenses

All mods have their own licenses. See the license files in the subfoldes. The modpack itself has the same license as the Mod Techage.

Further Dependencies

Required: Minetest Game

ta4_jetpack requires the modpack 3d_armor. 3d_armor is itself a modpack and can't be integrated into the techage modpack.
