Installation Instructions

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

Please note this page is being updated to reflect the migration to Prism Launcher from MultiMC.

Already using MultiMC?

If you are still using our modpacks via MultiMC, migrating your environments over to Prism Launcher is very easy to do. Simply open the Prism Launcher folder, and copy your instances, icons, and skins folders, as well as the accounts.json file, over from the MultiMC directory to the Prism Launcher directory. When you start Prism Launcher, it will detect all the existing instances exactly as they were.

Installing Prism Launcher

Nosiphus modpacks are updated through a mechanism called Packwiz. This program looks at a predefined link and pulls the data necessary based on what is at that link. We recommend using Prism Launcher to do this.

The installation method differs depending on the platform, so please look at the section that applies to the operating system you are using.

Installing Prism Launcher on Windows

To install the Prism Launcher on Windows, you will first need to obtain it from here. We recommend using the portable version. Right-click the downloaded ZIP file and select "Extract all", which will place a folder in the same directory. We recommend renaming this directory to something shorter than the default name. After renaming the folder, if you are already using MultiMC, this would be the time to follow the steps of the "Already using MultiMC?" section above.

Once you have extracted it, open the folder and open the prismlauncher.exe file. This will open Prism Launcher and begin the initial setup process. Select your language, choose a theme, and then add your Microsoft account. You are now ready to continue to the modpack installation process.

Java Selection

Prism Launcher improves on MultiMC by being able to automatically download the correct version of Java for the version of Minecraft it detects the instance is using. However, if you wish to do so, you can also specify which version of Java a modpack is using.

Click "Settings," then "Java", and then "Installations". If you click "Download," you can see a list of available Java versions. By default, Prism Launcher will download and use Mojang's own runtimes, but this may not be the best option to choose from.

We recommend using the Adoptium variants of Java on all platforms. However, if you are on macOS, and want to play a Java 8-based modpack, you'll probably want to install the Azul Zulu version of Java 8 as it is natively compiled for the ARM architecture Apple uses in its M-series Macs.

Adding Modpacks

Click "Add Instance", then "Import", 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."

We have also supplied recommended maximum memory settings for each modpack.
