Installation - ImBurnsy/Taunahi GitHub Wiki

Installing Taunahi

To get the jar for Taunahi, go to the Releases page and download the file.

If you don't need to be shown how to install a forge mod, you can leave this guide and continue.

Installing Forge

  • Make sure you've ran Vanilla 1.8.9 before, since forge builds on top of that
  • Make sure you have Java 8 installed. If .jar files do not show a Java logo icon, then you don't have it installed, or your default app settings are messed up. You can download a Java 8 distribution here: https://www.azul.com/downloads/?package=jdk
  • Download the Forge installer from this URL: https://files.minecraftforge.net/net/minecraftforge/forge/index_1.8.9.html
  • Double click the installer jar file.
  • Make sure the 'Install Client' checkbox is selected, then click Ok and let it install.
  • Re-open your Minecraft Launcher, and there should be a new Forge 1.8.9 option in the bottom left. If there isn't, you can make a new installation, and choose the version manually (it is at the bottom of the list for some reason, below Release 1.0).

Installing Mods

  • Once you've installed forge, navigate to .minecraft/mods/ folder and delete any non-1.8.9 mod.
  • Inside there, place your Taunahi jar.
  • We also heavily recommend putting OptiFine and Patcher in there. There are many other SkyBlock related mods that will also improve your experience which I would recommend installing, but beware that some of them may produce mod conflicts.

Basic Usage

You can open settings by doing /taunahi or alternatively /ezss. The default Start Scripts menu is via the keybind B, but you can change this in settings.

Allocating More RAM - (Optional)

This is not required, and not related to Taunahi specifically, but will likely give you a performance boost. By default, Minecraft allows itself a maximum of 2GB, which is not enough for many people, especially if you have lots of mods. To allocate more memory, do the following steps.

  • Open the Minecraft Launcher
  • Click Installations at the top, find your 1.8.9 Forge installation
  • When you hover over it, click the 3 dots on the right, then click 'Edit'
  • Click 'More options' at the bottom.
  • The 'JVM Arguments' is what you are looking to edit. The option that dictates maximum ram allocation is the first argument, which should look like this:

I have 32GB of RAM in my computer, so I allocate Minecraft 6GB, but this is more than Minecraft needs. Usually 4GB is good enough.

To change it, change the '2G' to however much you want. For example for 6GB, change it to 6G.

You should not allocate highly unnecessary amounts to Minecraft, as other apps on your PC will not be able to use that RAM whilst Minecraft is open.
