In this tutorial, we’ll be creating a\u00a0Tekkit Classic<\/strong>\u00a0server.\u00a0Tekkit<\/strong>\u00a0is another popular\u00a0modpack<\/strong>\u00a0made for\u00a0Minecraft<\/strong>. Due to the amount of modifications (mods), it will require a larger instance to cope with the intensive load.<\/p>\n

Prerequisites<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\n
• 4 gigabytes of\u00a0RAM<\/strong>\u00a0or more.<\/li>\n
• Java 7<\/strong>\u00a0(required, as\u00a0Minecraft<\/strong>\u00a0and various servers are written in Java).<\/li>\n
• wget<\/code>\u00a0(for downloading server files).<\/li>\n
• screen<\/code>\u00a0(required to run Java in the background).<\/li>\n
• unzip<\/code>\u00a0(extraction utility for ZIP files).<\/li>\n
• nano<\/code>\u00a0(text editor).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Installation<\/strong><\/h2>\n

  The installation process is the same for both\u00a0CentOS 6<\/strong>, and\u00a0CentOS 7<\/strong>\u00a0systems. This tutorial supports only\u00a064 bit<\/strong>\u00a0systems due to the resource requirements.<\/p>\n

  Before we download\u00a0Tekkit<\/strong>, we must install our prerequisites.<\/p>\n

  Step one<\/strong>\u00a0– updating our current packages:<\/p>\n

  yum update -y\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Step two<\/strong>\u00a0– install Java:<\/p>\n
  yum install java-1.7.0-openjdk -y\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Step three<\/strong>\u00a0– install\u00a0screen<\/code>:<\/p>\n
  yum install screen -y\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  NOTE:<\/strong>\u00a0This step is\u00a0required<\/em>\u00a0to keep the server active once you disconnect from SSH.<\/p>\n
  Step four<\/strong>\u00a0– creating an unprivileged user:<\/p>\n
  adduser tekkit\r\npasswd tekkit\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  When you’re prompted, enter your desired password.<\/p>\n
  Step five<\/strong>\u00a0– creating the server directory:<\/p>\n
  cd \/home\/tekkit\r\nmkdir server\r\ncd server\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Step six<\/strong>\u00a0– downloading the Tekkit server files:<\/p>\n
  wget http:\/\/servers.technicpack.net\/Technic\/servers\/tekkitmain\/Tekkit_Server_v1.2.9g.zip\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Step seven<\/strong>\u00a0– extracting the archive:<\/p>\n
  unzip Tekkit_Server_v1.2.9g.zip\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Step eight<\/strong>\u00a0– modifying\u00a0launch.sh<\/code>:<\/p>\n
  nano launch.sh\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  You will see the following:<\/p>\n
  #!\/bin\/sh\r\njava -Xmx3G -Xms2G -jar Tekkit.jar nogui\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Modify\u00a03G<\/code>\u00a0and\u00a02G<\/code>\u00a0to\u00a03.5G<\/code>. It should look like this:<\/p>\n
  #!\/bin\/sh\r\njava -Xmx3.5G -Xms3.5G -jar Tekkit.jar nogui\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Exit and save (CTRL<\/code>\u00a0+\u00a0O<\/code>, followed by the\u00a0Return<\/code>\u00a0or\u00a0Enter<\/code>\u00a0key).<\/p>\n
  The reason we’re setting it to\u00a03.5 gigabytes<\/strong>\u00a0of RAM rather than\u00a04 gigabytes<\/strong>\u00a0is that the system will require it’s own memory to run new processes. The system\u00a0will not<\/strong>\u00a0allow Java to allocate the full allotment of RAM.<\/p>\n
  Step nine<\/strong>\u00a0– signing into our unprivileged user:<\/p>\n
  ssh tekkit@localhost\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Enter the password you set earlier when prompted.<\/p>\n
  Step ten<\/strong>\u00a0– open up a\u00a0screen<\/code>:<\/p>\n
  screen -S tekkit\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Step eleven<\/strong>\u00a0– starting the server:<\/p>\n
   sh launch.sh\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  You can exit the screen without killing the server by using the following combination:\u00a0CTRL<\/code>\u00a0+\u00a0A<\/code>\u00a0+\u00a0D<\/code>.<\/p>\n
  If you’d like to re-enter the\u00a0screen<\/code>, perform the following:<\/p>\n
  screen -r tekkit\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  At this point, you may exit the unprivileged user by entering the following command:<\/p>\n
  logout\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
  Perform the command above again if you’d like to exit your server.<\/p>\n
  Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n
  Connecting to your new\u00a0Tekkit server<\/strong>\u00a0is rather simple. Copy the IP address from your\u00a0Aklweb host<\/strong>\u00a0instance, and enter it into your\u00a0Minecraft<\/strong>\u00a0client.<\/p>\n
  That’s it! You’ve successfully installed a Tekkit server on\u00a0CentOS<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
