Minecraft

One of the most popular games on the planet, Mojang's Minecraft has captured the hearts of millions. I currently run a Forge 1.8 survival server called Kashyyyk, named for the Wookie home world in the Star Wars universe in deference to my Minecraft alter ego, Jumbacca. As a forge server, it allows the use of custom, community built MOD's that extend the features of the base game, but it also means that anyone that plays on my server will require the Forge client add-on and the client-side versions of some of the MOD's I have running on the server.

Below I have included the server information, links for Forge and the required client-side MOD's and some optional MOD's that could add some useful features, and setup instructions to get you started on your new adventures. I hope you enjoy yourself, and welcome to my world!

Please note that these instructions assume you are running Windows.  The installation instructions will vary for other operating systems.

Setup Instructions

• • Download and install Minecraft from Mojang's site.

  • If it is not already installed, download and install Java (Try the 64-bit version first, and if it will not install then use the 32-bit version).

  • Run the Forge installer and install the client into your Minecraft folder (Normally %UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft). Please note: You may have to start Minecraft once with a profile that has Use version: set to release 1.8 before the Forge client will properly install.

  • Start Minecraft once with the newly created Forge profile located in the Minecraft launcher then quit the game.  This will setup the necessary folders in the Minecraft folder.

  • Download and copy the MOD files into the newly created mods folder in your Minecraft folder.

  • Start Minecraft again using the Forge profile (you must always use this profile when playing on the Kashyyyk server).

  • Go to the Multiplayer screen and add a server with the address home.jumbie.com.

  • From now on you can see the server status for and connect to the Kashyyyk world from the Multiplayer screen.
