Open the **CurseForge App** and go to **`My Modpacks`**. 2. Hover over *Cobblemon Realms* and click the **arrow** next to **`Play`**. 3. If an update is available, you will see **`Update Available`**. 4. Select the **latest version** and click **`Continue`**. 5. Wait for the installation to finish, then click **`Play`**. ๐ข **Tip:** CurseForge automatically applies configurations and dependencies. It is the **recommended launcher**. ### ๐ Using Other Launchers (Prism, Modrinth, MultiMC) If you use another launcher: 1. In CurseForge, click the `...` next to the modpack โ **`Export Profile`**. 2. Import the exported `.zip` file into the launcher of your choice. 3. Some launchers may not apply all configurations correctly; **CurseForge remains the recommended option** for the best experience. *** ## ๐ฎ Hosting a Multiplayer Server {% tabs %} {% tab title="Windows" %} {% stepper %} {% step %} โ Install [**Java 21**](https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/#jdk21-windows) {% endstep %} {% step %} ๐พ Allocate at least **8 GB of RAM dedicated to the server** {% endstep %} {% step %} ๐ Make sure you have a stable internet connection {% endstep %} {% step %} ๐ ๏ธ You must be able to run `.bat` files Port forwarding may be required to allow external players to join your server. {% endstep %} {% endstepper %} {% endtab %} {% tab title="MacOS" %} {% stepper %} {% step %} โ Install [**Java 21**](https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/#jdk21-mac) {% endstep %} {% step %} ๐พ Allocate at least **8 GB of RAM dedicated to the server** {% endstep %} {% step %} ๐ Make sure you have a stable internet connection {% endstep %} {% step %} ๐ ๏ธ You must be able to run `.sh` scripts Depending on your network configuration, port forwarding may be required. {% endstep %} {% endstepper %} {% endtab %} {% tab title="Linux" %} {% stepper %} {% step %} โ Install [**Java 21**](https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/#jdk21-linux) {% endstep %} {% step %} ๐พ Allocate at least **8 GB of RAM dedicated to the server** {% endstep %} {% step %} ๐ Make sure you have a stable internet connection {% endstep %} {% step %} ๐ ๏ธ You must be able to run `.sh` scripts Basic Linux terminal knowledge is recommended. {% endstep %} {% endstepper %} {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} *** ## ๐ ๏ธ Manual Server Installation {% hint style="info" %} ๐ก Don't want to handle the installation manually or configure port forwarding?
