Running the client

If you're going to run a server and a client on the same machine, make sure you have over 4GB of RAM. Just to be safe. If you're just running the client, 2 or 3GB is good. My client goes up to 1.5GB after an hour or two.

  1. Run TechnicLauncher.exe
  2. Select "Tekkit" from the dropdown menu on the top left.
You can also select the build version of Tekkit from the "Options" button under "Login", in case the server is using a developer version.
  1. Click "Login".
You'll now be at the standard Minecraft screen. It is not recommended to play single player, as Tekkit is a stripped down version of Technic (the single-player version) in order to be multi-player compatible.

Running the Server

  1. Unpackage the zip file to a directory of you choice
  2. Run launch.bat from the Tekkit 2.x folder


Prerequisites:

  • At least 4GB of RAM. The server allocates 3GB of memory to Java, and upon launching instantly uses up a gigabyte. It'll hover around a gigabyte as long as there's about 4 people and a relatively small amount of chunks being loaded.
  • Java
