# How to Install and play FTB OceanBlock 2 on the FTB Launcher

This guide covers everything you need to install FTB OceanBlock 2 on your Minecraft server and on your client, from setup to joining the world.

FTB OceanBlock 2 throws you onto a tiny patch of land surrounded by miles of open water, then challenges you to build your way into something that actually resembles a base. It keeps the relaxing, ocean-survival vibe of the first pack but adds smoother progression, better tech options, and more ways to grow your island into a full-blown powerhouse. Whether you’re expanding one block at a time or diving into automation, the pack gives you plenty to explore without ever leaving the waves behind. This guide will walk you through how to set up and play FTB OceanBlock 2 on your own Minecraft server, along with how to install it on your client so you can jump right in.
