Installation & Setup

To get started, download the latest version of auto-mcs from the website, or from GitHub. Extract auto-mcs from the .zip file to a location of your choice and launch it. That's it, there's no installation required!

Note: If you're using Linux, you might need to run chmod +x auto-mcs to give the binary executable permission

If you'd like to compile auto-mcs yourself, take a peek at the build documentation!

To start, you can either import a server you've made on your own or create a new one from scratch:

Create a New Server

For the vast majority of users, auto-mcs is preconfigured to provide optimal settings. Choose a name, and click next a few times to get started!
For a more advanced setup you can choose a different distribution with mods, an older version, or even choose to set up a whitelist. There are a lot of options if you wish to configure it manually.

Import a Server

auto-mcs can detect and manage a wide variety of servers that you have made yourself. Select the root folder of the server and click import to use all of auto-mcs's features!
Since v2.1, it's possible to import a modpack from the built-in browser, or by importing a .zip/.mrpack file.

Note: Importing will copy your server to a different directory and create a backup. The original directory will be untouched

And that's it - click launch to play with your friends!

Advanced Configuration
