# Using MultiMC
|
|
|
|
Download MultiMC [here](https://multimc.org/)
|
|
Download the modpack here: [Curseforge-compatible .zip](https://meowbox.sapphic.pw/AncientWormies.zip)
|
|
|
|
In MultiMC, **Add Instance** → **Import from zip**, select the downloaded .zip file and press **Ok**
|
|
|
|
Then, right click → **Edit Instance** → **Settings** → **Java**
|
|
- Java installation: Minecraft 1.7.10 requires java 8 (newer versions might not work)
|
|
If you don't already have it installed, get it from [here](https://www.java.com/en/download/) or use your package manager, if you're using linux.
|
|
Pressing **Auto-detect** should show you a list of installed versions, where you need to pick the one starting with **1.8.0**, otherwise
|
|
on windows the path is usually `C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_X\bin\javaw.exe` (where X is the version number)
|
|
and on linux/mac os the path should be something like `/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk/jre/bin/java`
|
|
- Memory: I recommend somewhere around 512MB minimum and 4096MB maximum
|
|
- Java arguments: These should work well:
|
|
```bash
|
|
-XX:+UseG1GC -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=2147483646 -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:G1NewSizePercent=20 -XX:G1ReservePercent=20 -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=51 -XX:G1HeapRegionSize=32M
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Using the official minecraft launcher
|
|
|
|
In minecraft launcher, press **Installations** → **New installation**
|
|
- Version: `release 1.7.10`
|
|
- Game directory: for this example I will call it `ancient-wormies/` to avoid confusion, but feel free to use any name and any location.
|
|
- More options:
|
|
- Java executable: Minecraft 1.7.10 requires java 8 (newer versions might not work)
|
|
If you don't already have it installed, get it from [here](https://www.java.com/en/download/) or use your package manager, if you're using linux.
|
|
on windows the path is usually `C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_X\bin\javaw.exe` (where X is the version number)
|
|
and on linux/mac os the path should be something like `/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk/jre/bin/java`
|
|
- JVM arguments:
|
|
```bash
|
|
-Xms512M -Xmx4G -XX:+UseG1GC -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=2147483646 -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:G1NewSizePercent=20 -XX:G1ReservePercent=20 -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=51 -XX:G1HeapRegionSize=32M
|
|
```
|
|
feel free to tweak `-Xms` (minimum allocated memory) and `-Xmx` (maximum allocated memory) according to the amount of RAM available
|
|
|
|
Start this installation once and let it load. Then, close the game.
|
|
|
|
Download Minecraft Forge for 1.7.10 [here](https://files.minecraftforge.net/net/minecraftforge/forge/index_1.7.10.html).
|
|
Either of these buttons should work:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Open the downloaded installer, make sure that "Install client" is selected; leave the installation path as it is, unless you installed minecraft somewhere else (this is different from `ancient-wormies/`) and press **Ok**.
|
|
|
|
Once again, open the minecraft launcher's **Installations** tab and choose the installation you created earlier. Change the version to `release 1.7.10-Forge10.13.4.1614-1.7.10` and press **Save**.
|
|
|
|
Hover over your installation and on the right side press the Folder button. A file explorer should open.
|
|
Then, download the modpack here: [Full extracted .zip](https://meowbox.sapphic.pw/AncientWormies-full.zip)
|
|
Extract the .zip file's contents into your installation folder. The structure should be something like this:
|
|
```
|
|
ancient-wormies/
|
|
├─ config/
|
|
├─ logs/
|
|
├─ mods/
|
|
├─ options.txt
|
|
└─ ...other files
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then, pick the installation in minecraft launcher's main tab and start the game! If you see a loading screen with the forge logo, you probably did everything right!
