Install and join ScandiCraft
The official launcher installs the game, the mods and everything they need. There is nothing to configure by hand.
Download and open the launcher
Download the launcher from the site, install it and open it. It installs Minecraft and ScandiCraft content on first launch.
Connect your Minecraft account
Connect your official Minecraft Java account, then select it in the Accounts panel. You can add several accounts there. Learn how password-free sign-in with Microsoft works.
Set the memory
Memory allocated to the game is changed in Settings. The default is 4 GB, the minimum 2 GB, and the maximum adapts to your machine. There is no point going higher without reason: allocating more memory does not make the game smoother.
Connect to the server
The Play button connects you straight to the server. There is no address to remember and no server to add by hand.
Frequently asked
Do I need to install Java or mods myself?
No. The launcher installs everything the game needs into its own folder, without touching what is already on your machine.
Can I play without the launcher?
The official launcher is required to join ScandiCraft. It installs the content you need.
Does the launcher touch my Minecraft folder?
Never. ScandiCraft installs into a separate folder. Your other installs and your singleplayer worlds are untouched.
How much memory should I allocate?
4 GB suits the vast majority of setups. Go to 6 or 8 GB only if you enable shaders and your machine has room to spare.
Does an unofficial account work?
No. You must own Minecraft Java Edition and use your official account.
