< h1 > 2. Installing MultiMC </ h1 >
2020-08-16 05:25:54 -05:00
< p > MultiMC is the launcher that we use to organize our modpacks . It has a number of features to make pack installation easier .</ p >
< ol >
< li > Download < a href = " https://multimc.org/#Download " > MultiMC </ a ></ li >
< li > Extract the zip file somewhere , like your desktop or Documents </ li >
< li > Run < code > multimc . exe </ code ></ li >
</ ol >
< p > MultiMC will then run you through basic setup . You can accept the defaults , but change the following :</ p >
< ul >
< li > On the page where it asks you to set up Java , set these values :</ li >
< ul >
< li > Set " Maximum Memory Allocation " to 4096 MB </ li >
< li > Set " Minimum Memory Allocation " to 1024 MB </ li >
</ ul >
</ ul >
< p > After that , it ' ll drop you to the main screen and you can progress to the next step .</ p >

< p > Packs on the server , as of the time of writing this document , will from now on be provided in a format that 's much easier to use with MultiMC. If, for whatever reason, you have to install one that <em>isn' t </ em > , flag down a moderator and have them show you . It ' s honestly a pretty involved process .</ p >
< ol >
< li > Open MultiMC </ li >
< li > Hit the " Add Instance " button in the upper - left </ li >
< li > Pick the option on the left called " Import from Zip " </ li >
< li > Copy the pack download link from the previous page and stick it in the URL </ li >

< p > If MultiMC prompts for it , be sure to set up your Minecraft account .</ p >
