# 🔌 Downloading Files 🔌

To get the server files for the Technic Launcher modpack you want to set up, you will have to:

1. Go to the Technic Launcher page [here](https://www.technicpack.net/modpacks) and search for the desired modpack.  
---

2. Click on `Server Download` and save it on your machine.

||| If the modpack does not provide a server pack, you will have to create it from your client files as our guide says [here](https://help.ggservers.com/en-us/article/how-to-create-a-server-pack-from-the-client-modpack-files-s98jtn/).  
---

# 🔩 Installing the Modpack 🔩

Now, let's install the modpack on your server:

1. Create a new folder called `jar` in the server pack folder you just downloaded.

---

2. Rename the jar file with the same name as the modpack to one of the following, depending on the Java version you want to use:

* `custom-java16.jar` - for any modpack running on the 1.17 Minecraft version  
* `custom-java11.jar` - for any modpack running on versions between 1.13 and 1.16  
* `custom-java8.jar` - for any modpack running on a version lower than 1.13 (1.12, 1.11, etc.)

---

3. Place the files you just renamed in the previous step, as well as the `minecraft_server.jar` and `libraries` folder, inside your new `jar` folder.

---

4. Remove any files with the `.bat` or `.sh` extensions. They don't need to be uploaded to the server.

5. Use FileZilla to delete everything from your server.

---

6. Upload all the files you prepared to your server using FileZilla.

---

7. Change the server type in your Multicraft control panel to `custom-java8.jar`, `custom-java11.jar`, or `custom-java16.jar` depending on how you named the `forge.versionnumber.jar` in step number 2, then click on `Save` at the bottom of the page.
