Getting Started With the Game

NOTE: OptiFine mod doesn't play nice with the Fairy Lights mod (it also introduces a number of other glitches). Make sure OptiFine is unselected when you run the game otherwise your client will crash. In the near future OptiFine will be removed from MadMartian Mod.

You can download Java 8 from ​Oracle Java 8 Downloads

Prerequisites

Please make sure you have Java version 8 installed, it must be the 64-bit version as well. If you already have a newer version of Java installed then you still must install Java version 8 and there is an extra setup step involved.

Download, Install and Run

1. Download the launcher, try the JAR first, most operating systems let you run this directly. If that does not work, and if you're on Windows, then download the Zip
2. Run the launcher by double-clicking it, wait for it to load.

If you already have a newer version of Java installed, and if you have finished installing Java 8 alongside the newer version, then complete the following steps in the launcher:

1. Click on Options in the lower-right area of the window
   
2. In JVM path enter the path on your hard-drive that points to the installation directory of Java 8
   
3. Click OK
