⛏ Kellercamp 25 ⛏Server Setup Guide

📖 Getting Started

Follow these steps to set up and connect to our Minecraft server. We recommend using MultiMC launcher for the best experience.

💡 Note: A modpack is not required to join the server, but we provide recommended modpacks below for the best experience with quality-of-life improvements and enhancements.
⚠️ Important: This server requires Java 21. Please follow all steps carefully.

☕ Step 1: Install Java 21

Minecraft requires Java 21 to run. We recommend using Azul Zulu, a free and reliable Java distribution.

💡 Note: MultiMC should automatically discover Java 21 if it's installed. Only follow these detailed instructions if MultiMC doesn't detect it automatically.
  1. Visit Azul Zulu Downloads
  2. Select the following options:
    • Java Version: Java 21 (LTS)
    • Operating System: Choose your OS (Windows, macOS, or Linux)
    • Architecture: x86 64-bit (or ARM if you have Apple Silicon Mac)
    • Java Package: JDK
  3. Download the installer for your operating system
  4. Run the installer and follow the installation wizard
💡 Note: If you already have a different Java version installed, that's fine! MultiMC can use multiple Java versions, and we'll configure it to use Java 21 specifically.

🚀 Step 2: Install MultiMC Launcher

MultiMC is a custom Minecraft launcher that makes it easy to manage different Minecraft instances with different mods.

  1. Visit multimc.org
  2. Click the Download button for your operating system
  3. Install MultiMC:
    • Windows: Extract the ZIP file to your Desktop (e.g., Desktop\MultiMC) and run MultiMC.exe
    • macOS: Open the DMG file and drag MultiMC to your Desktop. Then run xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ~/Desktop/MultiMC.app in Terminal to remove the quarantine flag
    • Linux: Extract the archive to your Desktop and run the MultiMC executable
  4. On first launch, MultiMC will ask you to:
    • Select your language
    • Set up Java - it should automatically detect Java 21
    • Configure memory allocation (see recommendations below)
💡 Tip: If MultiMC doesn't automatically detect Java 21, you can manually point to it:

👤 Step 3: Add Minecraft Account

Before you can play, you need to add your Minecraft account to MultiMC.

  1. Open MultiMC (you may need to resize the window wider to see the menu bar at the top)
  2. In the menu bar at the top, click on Profiles (or Accounts depending on your version)
  3. Click Add Microsoft (or Add Account)
  4. A dialog will appear with a link - copy this link
  5. Open the link in your web browser
  6. Log in with your Microsoft account (the one associated with your Minecraft purchase)
  7. Follow the authorization steps in your browser
  8. Once complete, your account will appear in MultiMC
⚠️ Important: You need a valid Minecraft Java Edition license on your Microsoft account to play. Make sure you're logged in with the correct Microsoft account that owns Minecraft.

📦 Step 4: Download Modpacks (Optional)

Download our recommended modpacks for enhanced gameplay:

Launcher Pack (Recommended)

Complete instance package for MultiMC - includes everything you need.

📦 Download launcher_pack_v1.zip

Mods Pack (Alternative)

Fabric/Quilt mods only - use this if you want to set up your own Fabric or Quilt instance manually.

📦 Download mods_v1.zip

⚙️ Step 5: Import into MultiMC

Now let's import the modpack into MultiMC (or create a vanilla instance if you prefer):

  1. Open MultiMC
  2. Click Add Instance in the top toolbar (or press Ctrl+N / Cmd+N)
  3. In the dialog that opens:
    • Select Import from zip on the left side
    • Click Browse and select the launcher_pack_v1.zip file you downloaded
    • Give your instance a name (e.g., "Kellercamp 25")
  4. Click OK - MultiMC will now extract and set up the instance
  5. Wait for the import to complete (this may take a minute)
Important: After importing, right-click the instance and select Edit Instance:

🎮 Step 6: Launch and Connect

You're almost ready to play!

  1. In MultiMC, double-click your server instance to launch it
  2. The first launch may take a few minutes as Minecraft downloads additional files
  3. Once Minecraft opens, click Multiplayer
  4. If you used the launcher pack, the server should already be preconfigured in your server list - just select it and click Join Server!
  5. If the server isn't listed, click Add Server and enter the server address: kellercamp.de, then click Done and Join Server
