FIRST TIME JOINING THE SERVER?

minecraft java 1.18.2 - install via official Minecraft Launcher (you can also use the prism launcher which is a bit faster and less prone to issues: https://prismlauncher.org/

forge install - forge-1.18.2-40.0.52-installer.jar in the downloaded zip

ADDING OR UPDATING THE MODS:

hit Win+R keys, type "%APPDATA%" (without quotes) - this brings you to AppData/Roaming/

copy the .minecraft folder in this archive to "C:\Users\yourUsername\AppData\Roaming"

JOINING

in minecraft, add a server with the current IP

You will find the current IP in the "minecraft-server" text channel on Maxims Discord server

If it doesn't work, send me a message. Maybe the server is not running yet, or the IP has changed recently.
