<h2>1. Installing Java</h2>
<p>Minecraft depends on Java. It's important that you have the latest 64-bit edition of Java installed.</p>
2020-08-16 05:25:54 -05:00
<ol>
<li>Go to <a href="https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp">Java Downloads</a></li>
<li>Download and run the "Windows Offline (64-bit)" option</li>

<h2>2. Installing MultiMC</h2>
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 folder</li>
2020-08-16 05:25:54 -05:00
<li>Run <code>multimc.exe</code></li>
</ol>
<p>MultiMC will then run you through basic setup. You can accept the defaults, but will probably want to change the following:</p>
2020-08-16 05:25:54 -05:00
<ul>
<li>On the page where it asks you to set up Java, set these values:</li>
<ul>
<li>Set "Maximum Memory Allocation" to 4096MB</li>
<li>Set "Minimum Memory Allocation" to 1024MB</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<p>After that, it'll drop you to the main screen and you can progress to the next step.</p>

<div class="subcontainer" id="pack">
<h2>3. Installing a Modpack</h2>
<p>All modpacks here are installable through MultiMC.</p>
2020-08-16 05:25:54 -05:00
<ol>
<li>Download the modpack you want to play</li>
2020-08-16 05:25:54 -05:00
<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>Browse for the zip you just downloaded</li>
2020-08-16 05:25:54 -05:00
<li>Click OK</li>
</ol>
<p>This will set you up with a nice, shiny new instance with all the mods ready to go. Double-click it to launch it.</p>
<p>If MultiMC prompts for it, be sure to set up your Minecraft account.</p>

<div class="subcontainer" id="joining">
<h2>4. Joining the Server</h2>
<p>Now the last thing we need to do is connect you to the server.</p>
2020-08-16 05:25:54 -05:00
<ol>
<li>Launch the game by double-clicking the modpack icon</li>
2020-08-16 05:25:54 -05:00
<li>Copy the server URL (something like <code>modpack.mc.9iron.club</code>)</li>
<li>In the game, go to "Multiplayer", and click "Add Server"</li>
2020-08-16 05:25:54 -05:00
<li>Stick whatever name you want in the name field and paste the server URL in the "IP Address" field</li>
<li>Double-click it to join</li>
</ol>
<p>You're looking for the huge, can't-miss-it serif font with the gray background:</p>
<code class="bigcode">serverip.blah.blah</code>
