Installation Instructions

This page will guide you through the installation process for Nosiphus modpacks. 

Step 1

Before anything else, you will need to download and install the correct version of Java for your operating system and the modpack you want to run. You will also need to consider your system architecture. We have linked the Microsoft and Adoptium's Eclipse Temurin OpenJDK builds.

What version do I need?

Windows: Most of you will be running on Intel or AMD processors, and will need to download the x86-64 version that is right for you. Owners of ARM-based devices, such as Copilot+ PCs, will need the ARM build instead. If you want to use a Java 8-based pack on an ARM machine, the x86-64 build should theoretically work, but there will be a performance impact and potential compatibility issues.

macOS: If you have a newer Mac with an Apple Silicon processor (M1 and later), you will need to download the ARM builds. Owners of older Macs with Intel processors will need the x86-64 build. If you want to use a Java 8-based pack on an Apple Silicon machine, the x86-64 build should theoretically work, but there will be a performance impact and potential compatibility issues.

Linux

Linux users should be able to simply install the openjdk-XX-jre package from a terminal, replacing XX with the version they need. The OpenJDK guide is a good reference.

Step 2

After installing OpenJDK, you will need to obtain a copy of the MultiMC launcher, which we use for our modpacks. We highly recommend it as a general launcher for Minecraft as well. You will need to extract the file. On Windows, simply extract the folder to the desktop, whereas on macOS, you will need to move the MultiMC.app file to the Applications folder.

Windows - macOS

Linux

MultiMC requires Linux users to install Qt5, so before downloading MultiMC, make sure to install the following packages depending on your distribution:

Arch-based: qt5-base

Debian-based: libqt5core5a libqt5network5 libqt5gui5

Fedora-based: qt5-qtbase

OpenSUSE-based: libqt5-qtbase

Arch - Debian - Tarball

Step 3

Begin MultiMC setup by selecting your language, setting your memory allocation, and logging into your account. Our recommendation is to set the maximum memory to 8192MB (8GB) if you have at least 16 gigabytes of RAM in your system. If your system has less than 16 GB, we'd recommend capping it at 4096MB (4GB). If you have less than 4 GB of RAM, it is likely only the oldest of our packs will run, and we'd recommend upgrading to a newer machine.

Step 4

Click add instance, then import from ZIP, and then copy-paste the link to the desired pack into the URL line where http:// is listed. Then click OK. You do not need to click the link and download the file, you simply need to right click it and select "Copy link address."
