5.)Create Above and Beyond - click here to download.
METHOD:
(Example modpack used here is ‘Create above and beyond’ and ‘OriginsSMP’ on curseforge)
Get MultiMC and download the version appropriate for your Operating System.
Extract the .rar file into a folder.
Select your User Interface language and press Next.
Install Java 8 from this link. Make sure the PATH is selected to Java 8 (1.8.0_291) if you are playing modpacks for MC 1.16.5 and below.
Here you can allocate the maximum and the minimum memory your MultiMC launcher can use. (recommended allocation depends on the modpack and your system specs)
After allocating memory click on Next.
Quick tip: Use Java 8/1.8.0_291 since ‘Create Above and Beyond’ fails to load 2 mods with Java 16/17 and above.
Quick tip: Use Java 16 when launching ‘OriginsSMP’ since it runs on minecraft 1.17.1.
It is recommended to turn off analytics (But hey you can skip this step if you want to)
