General Discussion
In this post I'll include the basics of how to join Modpack Masters server using ATM9.
Please note there will be a couple of extra mods you'll need to add but I'll add all the downloads you need here as well as video tutorials for setting up everything.
After this post is complete, ill be adding onto it with troubleshooting fixes to known issues so your experience with our server is as smooth as possible.
STEP 1: Download Curseforge - Standalone
Curseforge is the easiest and most user friendly way to get ATM9 modpack as well as loading into the game with right version. There can be instances where Curseforge doesn't work, or causes the game to crash in which case is best to use 'Prism Launcher' which is an alternate way of launching MC with all the modpacks. Both download pages will be linked below:
Curseforge Download: https://www.curseforge.com/download/app
**Ensure to click on 'Download Standalone' NOT 'Download on Overwolf'**
Prism Launcher Download: Prism Launcher - Home
STEP 2: Download/Install ATM9 from Curseforge (or Prism)
This is a relatively easy step as on both launchers you can simply search for 'ATM9' and install the whole modpack. I'll be leaving video's here for a complete walkthrough for installing the modpack from BOTH launchers just in case ;)
Once installed you should see ATM9 available in 'My Modpacks' click on it (not play) in preperation for the next step.
STEP 3: Download Extra Mod/s (and JAVA if needed)
Install addon mods which i will soon provide right here, but for now can be accessed in another forum post here: https://www.techinvader.com.au/forum/general-discussion/atm9-addon-mod-for-server
Once you install the mod which right now is only Jacks Economy, find it in your downloads folder. It should be a Java EXE file. If it doesn't come up as Java executable, you'll need to install latest version of JAVA on your PC. Download page for JAVA is linked here: Java Archive Downloads - Java SE 17
Again all of theses steps will soon be linked to a video once i have time to put them together XD
For now if you have any issues with these steps please get in touch with an Admin.
STEP 4: Move Extra Mod File to your Minecraft Mods Folder
As dauting as this may sound especially for a new player, however curseforge has made things super easy for you! Simply click the 3 verticle buttons in the ATM9 profile (in 'My Modpacks') and then click open folder.
From there you can find your 'mods' folder and then simply move the file you installed from STEP 3 straight into your mods folder. ensure there is no extra folders going in there, you want ONLY the JAVA EXE file from above step.
The video should guide you to the right direction for Curseforge.
STEP 5: Press Play on Curseforge ATM9, Join our Server via IP address and ENJOY!
Once you click play on ATM9 in curseforge, it will load up your MC launcher. Simply press play at the top as it should have all the correct versions and mods ready to go!
Once you've loaded into the game, go to multiplayer > direct connect > and enter our IP: modpackmasters.g.akliz.net
Bonus Quick Troubleshooting
As mentioned before ill be adding more detailed video's on each step above, but here are a couple tricks to try if your game doesn't seem to be working
• Allocate more memory for MC in curseforge. Simply Click settings > Minecraft > Scroll to bottom to find memory allocation slider, make sure its at around 10,000
• Try running the modpack through Prism Launcher (linked above) While it doesn't look as pretty as Curseforge, it does a great job at ensuring correct mc and mod versions, while giving you more details on if something goes wrong. Works same way as forge, just more barebones. Any questions about Prism, please ask an admin
• If you've just installed Curseforge and or ATM9 your pc might need to restart for the game to work properly.
• Ensure your Graphics card drivers are up to date, as well as any other PC drivers such as motherboard e.c.t. You can install all newest drivers from manufacturer website, or use 3rd party apps such as driver booster to do all the work for you.
• MORE TIPS AND VIDS COMING SOON! If you make an account with our forums you can keep in the loop with updates.
Thats all for now, I really hope this guide helps some people, if you have any comments or feedback please feel free to grill me in the comments lol.
