NFC Installer Guide
(Recommended for most users)
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 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 b1.7.3 instance in the instances folder of %appdata%/.minecraft, 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 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

- Click Play
- That's it

Part 1: Setting up MultiMC/PolyMC
If you already have MultiMC for your given OS, you can skip this step
- Go to this website multimc.org/

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.

Part 3: Launching MultiMC From the Desktop (Optional)

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
