Four steps to industrial regret

How to join Dcraft

Install the exact GT New Horizons pack used by the server, add dcraft.nl to Multiplayer, and you are ready to begin a perfectly reasonable several-thousand-hour quest book.

Download GTNH 2.8.4

Match the server

Use the exact pack version

Dcraft runs the stable GT New Horizons 2.8.4 client pack on Minecraft 1.7.10. Start with a clean, unmodified instance so your mods and configuration match the server.

Important: install version 2.8.4, not a 2.9 beta or nightly build. Different pack versions cannot reliably join this world.

From launcher to factory

  1. Install Prism Launcher

    Download and install Prism Launcher. You also need a legitimate Minecraft: Java Edition account because Dcraft uses online authentication.

    Use the Java version required by your chosen pack. For the official Java 17–25 ZIP below, 64-bit Java 21 is suitable.

  2. Install GTNH 2.8.4

    In Prism, choose New Instance → Technic and search for GT New Horizons.

    Install the pack version that matches the server. Dcraft currently uses 2.8.4. If it is unavailable there, use the official ZIP below.

    Alternative: import the official ZIP

    Download the official GTNH 2.8.4 Java 17–25 Prism ZIP. Do not unpack it.

    Drag the ZIP onto Prism Launcher, or choose Add Instance → Import and select the downloaded file.

  3. Sign in and launch once

    Add your Microsoft account in Prism, select your GTNH instance, and launch it. No separate Forge installation or extra mods are required.

    Wait for the GTNH main menu before continuing; the first launch can take a while.

  4. Add Dcraft

    Open Multiplayer → Add Server. Use any server name you like and enter dcraft.nl as the address. Leave the default port unchanged, save, and connect.
