# How to Play Attack of the B-Team on Your Minecraft Server

Want to play Attack of the B-Team with friends? This step-by-step guide shows you how to install the modpack on your Nodecraft server!

Attack of the B-Team is a popular and classic modpack filled with wild science, quirky automation, and creative building tools, all bundled together through the Technic Launcher. If you’re looking to host a server so you and your friends can explore everything this pack has to offer, this guide will walk you through the setup process. We’ll cover everything you need to get set up and running smoothly so you can jump right into the chaos!

## Installing the Modpack on Your Server

**Note: Be sure that your Minecraft server is fully stopped before installing a modpack.**

### Using the One-Click Installer

1. Navigate to your Nodecraft Dashboard.
2. Click the **Panel **button for your Minecraft server.
3. Locate and click **Installer**, under Server Files, in the menu on the left side.
4. Enter **Attack of the B-Team **in the Search box. The results will update automatically as you type. This is the modpack you’re looking for:

5. In the **Selected to be Installed** box, choose the desired version of the modpack you want to install.
6. For the Install Method, choose between **Archive** and **Fresh Install**, then click **Install** at the bottom.
7. Once the installation is complete, **start **your server. Once the server is online, you’re ready to join!

### Manually Uploading the Server Files

1. Navigate to the webpage for Attack of the B-Team: [https://www.technicpack.net/modpack/attack-of-the-bteam.552556](https://www.technicpack.net/modpack/attack-of-the-bteam.552556)
2. On the right side, click the **Server Download** button, then save the file somewhere you can easily access, such as your Downloads folder or desktop.
3. Navigate to your Nodecraft Dashboard.
4. Click the **Panel **button for your Minecraft server.

  1. If you want to save any of the files already on your Minecraft server, now would be the time to make a backup. You can find our guide for this [here](https://nodecraft.com/support/games/minecraft/general/how-to-make-a-backup-of-your-minecraft-server).
5. Locate and click **Server Files** in the menu on the left side.
6. Choose **Select All** at the bottom, then click **Apply** to select all the files.
7. Click **Delete** at the top, then **Permanently Delete**.
8. Now that your server is empty, click **Upload** at the top, then drag the BTeam zip file from your computer into the server.

9. Once uploaded, click on the zip file, then click **Unzip** at the top, and click **Extract**.

### Set the JAR file and Java version

Now that the files are uploaded and extracted, we need to tell the server to load the correct JAR file with the correct Java version.

1. Click **Game Settings** on the left side, then click the **Java** tab.
2. For Java Version, select **openjdk:7-jre** and for Server Jar, select **BTeam.jar**.
3. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click **Submit** to save your changes.
4. Now you’re ready to **start **your server. Once the server is online, you’re ready to join!

## Connecting to the Server

1. Download and install the Technic launcher. You can find this here: [https://www.technicpack.net/download](https://www.technicpack.net/download)
2. Once installed, open the Technic launcher. Click **Add Microsoft Account** and log in with the Microsoft account where you own Minecraft.
3. After logging in, return to the Technic launcher and click **Modpacks** at the top.
4. Attack of the B-Team is one of the default Technic packs, so it’s right on the main page. This is the modpack you’re looking for:

5. Click **Install** in the lower right and Technic launcher will begin downloading and installing the necessary files.
6. Once it’s done, click **Play** and the launcher will open Minecraft with Attack of the B-Team installed!
7. After a few minutes, you’ll get to the main screen:

9. Enter in a name for your server (this will only be used to distinguish the server in your Multiplayer list) and the Server Address (this can either be your server’s domain or IP address) and then click **Done**.
10. This will add the server to the list of servers. Click on the server, then click the **Join Server** button to connect!
