# /pyon/craft Installation Guide Welcome to /pyon/craft, the humblest Minecraft server in town! This document will help you get set up with all the right mods and tools to connect and have a great time with all of us there! *** Server Address: `pyoncraft.com` Modpack Address: `https://files.catbox.moe/uw0z7c.zip` ***(Last updated: 6-30-2024)*** *** Contents: [TOC2] ## Downloading and Installing the Client For this guide you will want to be using either the **PollyMC** or **PrismLauncher** client, depending on whether you plan to use an Offline or Microsoft account to access the game. Both clients are forked from the same source, and all interface options should otherwise be identical. ***If you do not have a valid Microsoft account that owns Minecraft, or do not want to use said account to access the server, use PollyMC.*** PollyMC (Offline account) | PrismLauncher (Microsoft account) --- | --- [Download here](https://github.com/fn2006/PollyMC/releases/download/8.0/PollyMC-Windows-MSVC-Setup-8.0.exe) | [Download here](https://github.com/PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher/releases/download/8.4/PrismLauncher-Windows-MSVC-Setup-8.4.exe) Download the appropriate client and continue through the installation process. ->[![Installer 1](https://files.catbox.moe/cm9wk5.png){20%:20%}](https://files.catbox.moe/cm9wk5.png) [![Installer 2](https://files.catbox.moe/s22muk.png){20%:20%}](https://files.catbox.moe/s22muk.png) [![Installer 3](https://files.catbox.moe/flsfw0.png){20%:20%}](https://files.catbox.moe/flsfw0.png) [![Installer 4](https://files.catbox.moe/w0iglu.png){20%:20%}](https://files.catbox.moe/w0iglu.png)<- Once it is installed, run it and select appropriate options. Be sure that Java **version 17** is selected on the second screen. If necessary you can download it [here](https://download.oracle.com/java/17/archive/jdk-17.0.10_windows-x64_bin.msi) if it is not already installed. ->[![Presetup 1](https://files.catbox.moe/r541wg.png){20%:20%}](https://files.catbox.moe/r541wg.png) [![Presetup 1](https://files.catbox.moe/jsoa33.png){20%:20%}](https://files.catbox.moe/jsoa33.png) [![Presetup 1](https://files.catbox.moe/kukh5f.png){20%:20%}](https://files.catbox.moe/kukh5f.png)<- !!! info Setting minimum memory to 4096 MB is optional but may improve performance. Increasing the maximum to 8192 MB can also be helpful if your system has the memory to spare. !!! If the program does not run you may be missing the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable, this can be found [here](https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe). ## Setting Up the Instance The first thing you are going to want to do is click the **Accounts** button in the top right corner, and then click **Manage Accounts** to set up the name or account you will be using in the server. Click either **Add Microsoft** or **Add Offline** depending on the type of account you would like to use. If you opt to use a Microsoft account it will open your web browser and prompt you to continue there to login, and then enter a code to link it with the launcher. ->[![Accounts 1](https://files.catbox.moe/fuhw28.png){20%:20%}](https://files.catbox.moe/fuhw28.png) [![Accounts 2](https://files.catbox.moe/zrychd.png){20%:20%}](https://files.catbox.moe/zrychd.png) [![Accounts 3](https://files.catbox.moe/igz79k.png){20%:20%}](https://files.catbox.moe/igz79k.png) [![Accounts 4](https://files.catbox.moe/iiav4w.png){20%:20%}](https://files.catbox.moe/iiav4w.png) [![Accounts 5](https://files.catbox.moe/y0auxd.png){20%:20%}](https://files.catbox.moe/y0auxd.png) [![Accounts 6](https://files.catbox.moe/yjyqme.png){20%:20%}](https://files.catbox.moe/yjyqme.png)<- !!! If your preferred option is not working verify that you installed the correct client from the two choices above. Once your account is set up and checked as seen in the last screenshot, you will want to install our custom modpack! Close out the Accounts window and click **Add Instance** in the upper left, to begin. From here you will want to click **Import from zip** on the left sidebar and then paste this address in: `https://files.catbox.moe/uw0z7c.zip` While not mandatory, you can set a name for the instance in the box at the top of the screen. Then click **OK** and the launcher should begin downloading all necessary resources to run the instance. ->[![Instance 1](https://files.catbox.moe/xhd1o0.png){20%:20%}](https://files.catbox.moe/xhd1o0.png) [![Instance 2](https://files.catbox.moe/7kil44.png){20%:20%}](https://files.catbox.moe/7kil44.png) [![Instance 3](https://files.catbox.moe/87bzqf.png){20%:20%}](https://files.catbox.moe/87bzqf.png)<- !!! info If you would like to change some settings before launching the instance such as the window size you can do so now by right clicking the new instance, selecting **Edit**, and then **Settings** from the left sidebar. ## Connecting to /pyon/craft Once your instance is set up, double click it to launch Minecraft. The first time you run it, it will also download the client and any other necessary resources from Mojang. Wait for the game to load, and then click on the **Multiplayer** button from the main menu. Our server should already come preloaded and be ready to choose, so click it and join /pyon/craft! ->[![Login 1](https://files.catbox.moe/nqaxdg.png){20%:20%}](https://files.catbox.moe/nqaxdg.png) [![Login 2](https://files.catbox.moe/cuh515.png){20%:20%}](https://files.catbox.moe/cuh515.png) [![Login 3](https://files.catbox.moe/1m5m0t.jpg){20%:20%}](https://files.catbox.moe/1m5m0t.jpg) [![Login 4](https://files.catbox.moe/dl83qz.png){20%:20%}](https://files.catbox.moe/dl83qz.png)<- !!! info If for whatever reason you need the server address, it can be found at the top of this document. !!! Don't worry if you see an error with something like "Attempted to load a modifier before dynamic modifiers are loaded" your first time connecting, just try again and it should go away. On your first login you will be required to choose a password to register your account with the server. Do so with the command **/register password password** substituting your password of choice in for "password". ->[![Authentication 1](https://files.catbox.moe/fa8hvf.png){20%:20%}](https://files.catbox.moe/fa8hvf.png) [![Authentication 2](https://files.catbox.moe/ft5lkw.png){20%:20%}](https://files.catbox.moe/ft5lkw.png) [![Authentication 3](https://files.catbox.moe/tnh2mm.png){20%:20%}](https://files.catbox.moe/tnh2mm.png)<- !!! info On subsequent logins, enter /login password to log back in with your chosen password if necessary.
