Initial setup

1. Once launched, you will be prompted for which language to use for running MultiMC

2. Then you will be prompted for which version of java to use.

• You should use a 64bit Java if you are on a 64bit OS.
• If your version of Java does not show up, please file an issue here, on our IRC Channel or on our Discord Server.
• If you installed Java elsewhere then click the browse button and browse to the installation

3. MultiMC sends anonymous statistics every time the application starts.This is done for the further development of MultiMC and also to know which platform to focus on more. (You can disable this option)

4. You will be presented with this screen:

Adding an account

1. Start by clicking on the face in the top right corner and then Manage Accounts
2. Click Add and then enter your Mojang login credentials before clicking Ok
3. You can add multiple accounts. You can set a default account by clicking Set default button. Without a default selection, MultiMC will ask you which account you wish to use on every launch.

Creating an instance

1. Click on the top left button
2. Choose a name for the instance, set a group for it (You can make a group by typing it in the box), you can select an icon for it (You can also add custom icons from the icon dialogue).
3. You now need to choose if you want a vanilla Minecraft instance or import a mod-pack.
4. Click Ok
5. MultiMC will now download all necessary files. This may take several minutes. (Depending on your internet and Mojang servers)
