# How to Play Tekkit 2 on Your Minecraft Server

Ready to set up a Tekkit 2 server? Follow this complete setup guide to get your modded Minecraft server running fast!

Tekkit 2 brings classic industrial modded Minecraft back with modern updates, combining automation, power systems, and tech-focused gameplay into one streamlined pack. If you want to host a server and dive into the world of machines and factories with friends, this guide will show you how to set it all up using the Technic launcher.

## 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 **Tekkit 2 **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 Tekkit 2: [https://www.technicpack.net/modpack/tekkit-2.1935271](https://www.technicpack.net/modpack/tekkit-2.1935271)
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.

  **Note: 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.

  **⚠️Note: Wait until the upload is complete before closing the popup. ⚠️**
9. Once uploaded, click on the zip file, then click **Unzip** at the top, and click **Extract**.

## Setting 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:8-jdk** and for Server Jar, select the Forge JAR that was in the modpack server files..
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. Tekkit 2 is one of the default Technic packs, so it’s right on the main page. This is the modpack you’re looking for:

8. From here, click Multiplayer and you’ll be presented with the Minecraft multiplayer menu. Click **Add Server** at the bottom.
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**.
