Minecraft Feedthebeast Server on Ubuntu
In this video I go through how to install and run a Feed the Beast Minecraft server on Ubuntu.
Below are the steps I go through if you don’t feel like watching.
1. Open terminal to install Java
2. Type “sudo apt-get install default-jre”
3. When prompted enter “Y” and press enter
4. Search feedthebeast in firefox and click the first result
5. Download the linux version of FTB Launcher
6. Open terminal to run FTB Launcher
7. Use command “cd /home/username/Downloads” to change the directory.
8. Use command “java -jar FTB_Launcher.jar” to run the launcher.
9. Once the launcher GUI appears browse to the desired modpack and click download server.
10. Create a new folder on the desktop called “Server” or whatever you want to call it.
11. Drag the contents of the .zip file you downloaded into the new folder you just created.
12. Open the file called EULA.txt and change the word “false” to “true”
12. Open terminal to install and run the server
13. Use command “cd /home/username/Desktop/Server” to change directory to your new folder.
14. Use command “sudo sh FTBInstall.sh” to install the FTB required files.
15. Use command “java -jar minecraft_server.1.7.10.jar” to run the default minecraft server and create required files.
16. Use command “java -server -Xmx2048M -Xms1024M -jar FTBserver.jar nogui” to launch the FTB server without the gui window. You can brew some coffee or grab a beer while this boots up.
17. Open terminal to note IP address of server
18. Use command “ifconfig” to view the IP address of the network adapter.
19. Remember or write down the IP address of the server
20. Open or install Curse Client and navigate to the minecraft tab.
21. Click Browse FTB Modpacks and find the modpack matching the server.
22. Install the modpack and click play.
23. Once inside minecraft go to multiplayer and directly connect to the server using the IP address you noted down earlier.
24. Invite your friends for an epic FTB Minecraft party.
