Pick a plan. Always have a clean setup.
Stop guessing if a pack will conflict or a profile will break. Keep a few clean setups ready and switch when you feel like it.
Not sure where to start?
Match the plan to how often you switch setups.
- Basic – good if you only install a new setup once in a while.
- Premium – best starting point if you switch often or want curated defaults.
- Elite – for heavy modpacks, creators, or multiple devices that need consistency.
You can upgrade or downgrade later from your account page if you picked too low or too high.
Prices below are per month. Pre-pay 3, 6, or 12 months for extra discounts on the total. Still not sure? .

How TheAltening fits into your setup
1. Pick a plan
Choose how much you plan to install and experiment each month. You can adjust later if you picked too low or too high.
2. Install a setup
Pick a shader pack, texture pack, or modpack and install it into a launcher profile. Everything is kept tidy so you can switch later.
3. Launch and play
Swap profiles when you want a different look or performance target. If a setup isn’t for you, switch back instantly.
Before you pick a plan
Will this work with my setup?
If your launcher supports standard mod loaders and profiles, you should be fine. We keep installs organized so switching is painless.
Will this mess up my current setup?
Not if you use profiles. Your main install stays untouched, and you can revert or switch back any time.
What if a pack breaks?
We publish clean defaults and keep update notes. If something still looks off, support can help you roll back or pick a stable option.
Low risk, clear rules
Not sure if you'll use it enough? Start small, upgrade later, and our refund policy covers you if you barely install anything and decide it's not for you.
You're not locked in. You can change or cancel your plan and keep access until the end of your paid period.

Buying premium packs one-by-one
~$98 over 6 months
25 installs / month × $0.65 per pack × 6 months.
- • You pay every time you want a new look or a new build.
- • Quality varies, and updates can break setups.
- • No simple profile switching across installs.
TheAltening (6-month plans)
Premium (6 months)
~$72 total
Saves roughly $26 vs your slider numbers — with more control and features.
Basic (6 months)
~$54 total
If Basic fits your usage, that's about $44 saved vs buying every pack separately.
Instead of juggling downloads from different sites, you install curated profiles when you need them, keep history, mark favorites, and switch setups without touching your main install.
These are example estimates, not a guarantee, but if you're regularly buying packs one by one, a plan almost always wins on both cost and sanity.
