Not supported

GDLauncher

Due to technical limits and issues, GDLauncher is no longer supported. It is recommended to migrate to Prism Launcher:

Install and run Prism Launcher
Click Add Instance
Select Modrinth tab from the left
Select "Easy Multiplayer"
Click OK
The modpack will now install.
Once installed, click the Folder button on the left.
Open GDLauncher
Right click on your previously used instance → Open Folder
Copy the important files and folders over:
- saves for your local worlds
- resourcepacks, if you use any
- screenshots
- servers.dat for your multiplayer servers
- options.txt, if you want to keep your vanilla option changes
Launch the instance on Prism and confirm everything is correct
Uninstall GDLauncher

Pojav Launcher

Pojav Launcher is not yet supported due to drawbacks (long installation process, high energy usage, performance may not be better etc), but is being considered.

ATLauncher

Not to be confused with TLauncher.

ATLauncher is currently not supported simply because the interface is confusing and complex. There have been discussions with its developer to improve this and it may be considered in the future.

PolyMC

PolyMC is compromised and you should uninstall it immediately!

To migrate to Prism Launcher (a safe fork of PolyMC), follow these instructions:

Uninstall PolyMC
Install Prism Launcher
Launch it and pay attention to the prompt you get:
1. It looks like you used PolyMC before. Do you want to migrate your data to the new location of Prism Launcher?
  - Click Yes and the migration will complete.
2. It looks like you used PolyMC on Windows before. Do you want to migrate your data to the new location of Prism Launcher?
  - Click Yes and the migration will complete.
3. Old data from PolyMC was found, but you already have existing data for Prism Launcher. Sadly you will need to migrate yourself. Do you want to be reminded of the pending data migration next time you start Prism Launcher?
  - Click No and follow manual migration instructions below.
If needed, update or install the modpack again
To run the modpack, double click the Easy Multiplayer icon

Manual migration

Close Prism Launcher
Go to one of these directories according to your operating system:
- Portable (Windows/Linux): PolyMC/instances
- Windows: %APPDATA%/PolyMC/instances
- macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/PolyMC/instances
- Linux: ~/.local/share/PolyMC/instances
Select all the files and folders in the instances folder, right click on one of them and select Copy
Open Prism Launcher, click Folders, then View Instance Folder
Once your instance folder has opened, right click anywhere and select Paste
Close Prism Launcher and reopen it, your instances should be there
Sign in to your accounts, configure Prism Launcher to your preferences

TLauncher

Not to be confused with ATLauncher.

TLauncher is malware, so it will never be supported by Easy Multiplayer. It is highly recommended to reset your entire computer, then come back to this page and follow install instructions for any supported launcher.

Cracked launchers

Any launchers that let you run the game without having purchased it first are not supported.

Other launchers

Technically you can install it in some other launchers that support Modrinth modpacks or in any launcher by following the vanilla instructions. However, please do not ask for support here if you use an unsupported launcher.

Other modpacks

While it is theoretically possible, this is not advised:

mods may have conflicts
neither Easy Multiplayer or the other modpack will be able to support you

Instead, we recommend you to use modpack with other mods added by you.

Game clients

Easy Multiplayer is not compatible with any "game clients", including "hacked clients" and "PvP clients". Use normal mods instead!

Bedrock Edition

Easy Multiplayer is not compatible with Bedrock Edition. See also: Pojav Launcher

Servers

Any server that works with vanilla Minecraft is supported, no changes are necessay to the server.

Quilt/Fabric

Easy Multiplayer is based on Quilt, not Fabric.

It can be attempted to run it through Fabric, but not all mods and configurations work without changes. If you do attempt it, you're on your own - do not ask for support from the modpack.
