Installing MultiMC</h1> <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 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> <div class="section" id="pack"> <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> <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> <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> <div class="section" id="joining"> <h1>4. Joining a Server</h1> <p>This one's pretty easy, thankfully</p> <ol> <li>Copy the server URL (something like <code>modpack.mc.9iron.club</code>)</li> <li>Open the game, go to Multiplayer, and click "Add Server"</li> <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> </div> </div> <?php include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/src/common-footer.php';?> </div> </body> </html>
