Tip

It is HIGHLY recommended to use GraalVM instead of the regular Oracle JRE or OpenJDK. It provides MUCH better performance and should be used with the following arguments:

Tip

It is HIGHLY recommended to use 4GB or more of memory when using Distant Horizons to minimize lag, as it causes extremely high memory usage with more aggressive settings. If this is impossible, or a lower memory footprint is desired, it is recommended to install a chunk pre-generator like Chunky to pre-generate all chunks and LODs around spawn with more aggressive settings. After that, more lightweight settings can be used.

Client

The preferred way to install Elysium is through the official Modrinth page by using a supported launcher such as the Modrinth App or Prism Launcher. Alternatively, an mrpack file can be created using the following command in the project directory:

cd src
packwiz modrinth export -o ../Elysium.mrpack

A file named Elysium.mrpack should be created inside the project directory.

Server

You will need to have packwiz-installer and Java downloaded and installed.

To download the necessary server files, execute the below command inside the server instance's directory, replacing <DIR> with the project's directory:

java -jar packwiz-installer-bootstrap.jar -g -s server "<DIR>/src/pack.toml"

Important

You will need to make sure the port used by Simple Voice Chat is open and reachable by other players.
