How to Install New Frontier Craft
Guide, Info, and More
If you run into any issues, are stuck, or have any questions, contact us on our Discord server!

If you're looking for addons to use alongside NFC, like Shaders or HMI, check out this page
All of these installation methods are equally as effective as one another. We try to support as many different ways of launching into Minecraft as we can. We recommend using whichever one best meets your specific usecase.
NFC Installer Guide
(Recommended for casual users)
- If Java isn't installed, grab Java 8 from here, or here if using an Apple Silicon Mac
- Download this Jar: cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/504856228569022478/732297350139084831/NFCInstaller1.5.jar
If the link isn't working, copy the text from the link into your URL bar - If you haven't already, open the Mojang launcher, run version Beta 1.7.3 once, then close it and the launcher. (If Beta 1.7.3 is not there, enable historical versions at the bottom of the Settings screen in the launcher).
- Run the jar file and click the button labelled 'Install'.
If it throws an error, try deleting the Beta 1.7.3 instance in the instances folder of %appdata%/.minecraft, running the Beta 1.7.3 instance from the Vanilla launcher to reinstall it, and then running the installer again.
If this still fails, scroll down to the manual installation section of this page, download the zip, extract the contents of the archive into the "extract" folder of the NFCInstaller folder in .minecraft, and rerun the installer.
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!
Betacraft Guide:
(Recommended for simplicity)
- Download Betacraft from here & run
- (Optional) Click the Instances button on top middle of Betacraft window, click New Instance, name it whatever you like, and click select.
- Click Edit Instance, click Mods Repository, double click New Frontier Craft, click the latest version of NFC (v3.4.2), click Load, and click Close.
- Click Play
- That's it
(Recommended for addons and power users)
Part 1: Setting up the launcher
- Go to one of these websites multimc.org/ prismlauncher.org/
- Choose and download the version for your operating system
- Extract the archive to a new folder
- 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, or setup Crouton and install it as you would with Linux
- If Java isn't installed, grab Java 8 from here, or here if using an Apple Silicon Mac
- Launch MultiMC & click through the setup process
Part 2: Installing the NFC Instance
Download this file: github.com/New-Frontier-Craft/New-Frontier-Craft/releases/download/v3.4.2/NFC_v3.4.2_MMC_Instance.zip
Follow the guide on this page: github.com/MultiMC/MultiMC5/wiki/Import-Instance
Part 3: Launching MultiMC From the Desktop (Optional)
If you'd like to setup a shortcut to launch NFC directly from your desktop, you just need to point to the MultiMC/PolyMC executable binary this to the end
The "Instance ID" is just the name of your NFC instance. For instance, if you labeled the instance “NFC v3.4.2”, a shortcut would look like this
If you'd like, you can set the icon for the shortcut using one of the icon files here.
If you'd like to setup a shortcut to launch NFC directly from your desktop, you just need to point to the MultiMC/PolyMC executable binary this to the end

Manual Installation Guide
Part 1: Download the Installation Files
Download this file: github.com/New-Frontier-Craft/New-Frontier-Craft/releases/download/v3.4.2/NFC_v3.4.2.zip
Part 2: Follow this Video Guide
Note, this guide was written for an older version of the Mojang launcher. However the gist of everything still applies. We don't recommend any user ever attempt to install NFC manually, however we provide the option if it makes sense for your specific usecase.
Old NFC Versions:
NFC 1.7.4 - 1.8.1: newfrontiercraft.net/thread/103/new-frontier-craft-early-days
NFC 1.8.4+: newfrontiercraft.net/thread/124/nfc-legacy-downloads-1-02
NFC 1.7.4 - 1.8.1: newfrontiercraft.net/thread/103/new-frontier-craft-early-days
NFC 1.8.4+: newfrontiercraft.net/thread/124/nfc-legacy-downloads-1-02
Server Files:
Due to legal issues with distribution, we cannot directly provide a public download to the server files. However, we have an automated patcher script similar to Spigot that you can use here, although for now it still does require an unmodified CraftBukkit 1060 jar.
