NFC Installer Guide:
Part 1: Downloading Java
If you already have Java, you can skip this step.
- Go to this website: www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
- Download the one for your operating system. (If you're on Windows, you want the 'Offline (64-bit)' version.
Part 2: Using the installer
- Download this jar file here: cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/504856228569022478/732297350139084831/NFCInstaller1.5.jar
- If you haven't already, open the Mojang launcher, run version Beta 1.7.3 once, then close it and the launcher. (If it's not there, enable historical versions)
- Run the jar file and click the button labelled 'Install'.
If it throws an error, try deleting the b1.7.3 instance in the instances folder, running the Beta 1.7.3 instance from the Vanilla launcher to reinstall it, deleting the NFCinstaller folder in the .minecraft folder, and then running the installer again.
If it works, open the Mojang launcher, (restart it if it was already open), create a profile with the new instance, and enjoy NFC!
Note: Profile creation will be automated in future versions of the installer
If you run into any errors using our installer, go to our Discord!
Manual Installation Guide:
Part 1: Download the manual installation files
Part 2: Follow the guide included in this video
Note, this guide was written for an older version of the Mojang launcher. However, most of what the video shows should still apply.
MultiMC Guide:
Part 1: Setting up MultiMC
If you already have MultiMC for your given OS, you can skip this step
- Go to this website multimc.org/
- Choose the download for your operating system, extract the archive to a new folder and run MultiMC. If you’re using Linux, remember to make it executable before you try to run it. If you're using Mac, just drag it to your apps directory. And if you're using ChromeOS, follow the guide here for installing MultiMC with Crostini. You can choose the development version, it usually has extra fixes and features included, but may not be stable yet.
- Choose your preferred language.
- Select the Java version you want to use for Minecraft. The option marked with an asterisk is recommended.
- Set the memory allocation options for Java.
- Complete the MultiMC installation.
Part 2: Installing the NFC Instance
Temporary Note: Rename the “cat.ogg” file in the “.minecraft/resources/streaming” folder to “Cat.ogg”. Otherwise, it won't play.
Part 3: Launching MultiMC From the Desktop (Optional)
The MultiMC '--launch <instance ID> (-l <instance ID>)' command line argument allows you to launch the instance without opening the main MultiMC window. The Instance ID is the name of the instance folder in the “instances” folder. If it contains spaces, specify the ID in quotation marks. For example, if you’re using Windows and your instance ID is “NFC 1.8.7_02”, you can create a shortcut to MultiMC.exe and add a option: MultiMC.exe -l "NFC 1.8.7_02". Using this shortcut, you can quickly launch NFC.
