<h1>3. Installing a Modpack</h1>
<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>

<h2>3. Installing a Modpack</h2>
<p>All modpacks here are installable through MultiMC.</p>
<ol>
<li>Download the modpack you want to play</li>
<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>
<li>Browse for the zip you just downloaded</li>
<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>

<li>Open the game, go to Multiplayer, and click "Add Server"</li>
