Install Create: Above and Beyond on your Minecraft Server

The Above and Beyond modpack is a large collection of mods for Minecraft 1.16.5 that focuses on technology and exploration. It contains over 100 mods to enhance gameplay. This guide will walk you through installing and setting up an Above and Beyond modpack server and client, respectively.

Install the Modpack

• Click on the 1 Modpacks tab on the left-hand side navigation bar.
• 2 Select CurseForge as a provider from the drop-down.
• 3 Search for create in the search bar.
• In the search results, find Create: Above and Beyond and click the 4 Install button.

• 1 Select the required Modpack version.
• 2 Toggling ON the Delete Files button will delete all the present files on the server. Set this as per requirement.
• Click the 3 Install modpack button to initiate the installation process.

• During installation, the server will be inaccessible for a while. Once correctly installed, proceed to restart the server.
• Once it's started properly, this is how the console will look. Our server is now running the Create: Above and Beyond mod pack.

Client-Side Setup on Prism Launcher

Install Correct Java Version

• Old versions of Forge (1.16.5) crash with Java 8u321+. For this reason, using Java 8u312 or lower is recommended.
• The official download link of Java 8u311 is available here.
• Proceed to download the .exe setup and run it.
• Make a note of the Java path and complete the setup process to install the required version of Java.
• The default installation directory would be: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_311
• The default Java Path to enter later in Prism Launcher would be: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_311\bin\javaw.exe

Set Java Version in Prism Launcher

• Launch Prism Launcher and click 1 Settings in the top menu bar.
• Select 2 Java on the left panel.
• 3 Enter the Java path that we noted earlier in the same way as shown in the screenshot below. You can also browse to the directory location.
• Once done, press the 4 Close button at the bottom.

Create Modpack Instace

• Click 1 Add Instance in the top left corner.
• 2 Choose the correct Minecraft version, our modpack Create: Above and Beyond works with 1.16.5 so we will choose that.
• 3 Next, we will choose the recommended version of Forge loader, which is 36.2.34 for this Minecraft version.
• Click on the 4 CurseForge button on the left side panel.
• 5 Search create in the search field.
• 6 select the correct modpack.
• 7 Select the correct modpack version as installed on the server. Since we installed v1.3, we will select that.
• Finally, Click 8 OK to create the instance.
• Later in the process, it will prompt you to download the missing mods and proceed to click OK.

Connect to Server

• Double-click on the newly created instance to launch it.
• Once the game has launched, click the Multiplayer mode.
• Finally, add your Create: Above and Beyond Minecraft server and press the Join Server button.
