Getting into The Quire.
Five steps, about ten minutes. The Quire is whitelisted and runs its own set of mods, so there is a little setup the game cannot do for you. Work through these in order and you are in.
Download the pack.
The Quire modpack
Download the packOne zip holds every mod the server runs. The game cannot fetch them on its own, since a few are ours and live nowhere else, so you install this by hand the first time. When the pack changes you grab it again, and the Discord says when that happens.
From nothing to in-world.

Get the game on 1.22
The Quire runs on Vintage Story 1.22. Match it. If your game sits on an older or newer build, set it to 1.22 in the launcher before you go further.
-
Get on the whitelist
Join the Discord and give your Vintage Story player name. The world is whitelisted, so you cannot connect until your name is on the list. The Discord is also where the server address lives.
-
Download the pack
Grab the zip from the download above. Unzip it somewhere you can find again, the desktop is fine, ready for the next step.
-
Install the mods
Put the unzipped mods into your Vintage Story mods folder. On Windows that is %appdata%\VintagestoryData\Mods. Clear anything already in there first, so your set matches the server exactly. A leftover mod is the most common reason a join fails.
If you play other servers or singleplayer with different mods, keep The Quire in its own install or launcher instance so the two never mix.
-
Add the server and connect
Launch the game, open Multiplayer, choose Add Server, and paste the address from the Discord. Connect. The first join takes a minute while the world settles in. After that it stays on your list.
If a join fails
Almost always it is a version or a mod that does not match. Check the game is on 1.22, that your mods folder holds only the pack, and that you grabbed the latest zip. Still stuck, ask in the Discord. Someone has hit the same wall.
