The Mojang launcher installation methods are currently broken due to changes Mojang has made. We'll have a fix out for that soon - Birdy (10/7/23)
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.
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_02), 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/PrismLauncher & click through the setup process
Part 2: Installing the NFC Instance
Download this file: www.github.com/New-Frontier-Craft/New-Frontier-Craft/releases/download/v3.4.2_02/NFC_v3.4.2_02_MMC_Instance.zip
If you run into issues opening the link directly try copying the text directly into your URL bar, as our host ProBoards forces the links through an intermediary which may cause issues.
If you're using Prism Launcher and your instance is giving an error related to LWJGL, try switching to MultiMC
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_02”, 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
| --launch "instance ID" |
| MultiMC.exe -l "NFC v3.4.2_02" |
- Download the dev branch of the Codex-Ipsa launcher from here, or if already installed switch to it via the Settings page of the launcher
- Sign into the launcher with your Microsoft account
- Create a new Beta 1.7.3 profile (should be the default version selected)
- After creating the profile, click "Edit Profile", select the Mods tab on the top of the pop-up window, click "Mod Repositories", select New Frontier Craft and the version you'd like to install, and click "Download"
- Close the pop-up window and click Play in the main launcher window
CURRENTLY BROKEN DUE TO CHANGES BY MOJANG
If Java isn't installed, grab Java 8 from here, or here if using an Apple Silicon MacDownload 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 barIf 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 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

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.
