How to Make a Tekkit Legends Server with Plugins

[Silicrylic]

Hey guys. So I've noticed that there are many pages on how to make a Tekkit Legends Server, but there isn't a page on how to add plugins to your server. I'm sure many of you out there want to make a Tekkit Server with plugins so you can protect your claims, have more commands, and most importantly, be able to teleport to your friends without them have op. Follow this step by step tutorial on how to make a Tekkit Legends Server with Plugins!   

 

This tutorial will not be teaching you how to Port forward your Minecraft ports!

 

1. So the first thing you want to do is head over to the Tekkit Legends Modpack page and download the original Tekkit Legends server

• Link: http://www.technicpack.net/modpack/tekkit-legends.735902

 

2. When you download the server make sure you have WinRAR or 7zip so that you can view and extract the files

• Make sure you extract all the contents of the zipped file into a folder. You can have this folder anywhere you want. I normally keep my Tekkit Legends Server folder on my desktop.

 

3. Once you have extracted all the files into a folder. Next, you want right click the Windows Batch File "start" and select "edit" or if you have Notepad++ select "Edit with Notepad++"

• When you edit it this will show up:

java -Xmx2G -Xms1G -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -jar "TekkitLegends.jar" nogui
pause

• Make sure that you allocate the correct RAM. Change the "-Xmx2G -Xms1G" to "-Xmx3G -Xms2G" or whatever you prefer. If you are just running a small server of five or less people I recommend just leaving it. Also do not allocate too much RAM otherwise your computer will start to slow down if you are running other things. Also, consider how much RAM your computer actually has so you don't overwork your computer.
• If you use the Shell Script you can do the same thing. Just locate "-Xmx2G -Xms1G" and change the number of Gigs
• Once you are done with that you can save and close the file

 

4. Now we have to download Cauldron

• Link: https://sourceforge.net/projects/cauldron-unofficial/files/1.7.10/
• If that link doesn't work, I don't have another one. I will try and update links asap. Try and look up "Cauldron download"
• Download the last version of Cauldron for the best performance, but make sure it is the same version as your Tekkit Legends Server. If your Tekkit Legends Server is 1.7.10 then download the latest 1.7.10 Cauldron .zip file.

 

5. Now again, You will need to Extract the .zip file once it finished downloading

• Open up the zip file and extract all the contents into your same Tekkit Legends Server Folder
• It will ask you if you want to Replace the files. Click "Replace the files in the destination"

 

6. Next what you want to do is delete the "TekkitLegends.jar" You can also rename it to "TekkitLegends-originial.jar" if you want to keep it and use it for a vanilla server.

 

7. Next you will need to rename your "KCauldron-*version*-server.jar" you just downloaded to "TekkitLegends.jar"

 

8. Now you can double click the "start" Windows Batch File or the Shell Script (The one you edited for your RAM) and the Server will start!

• This will generate all the files including the "plugins" folder

 

9. Once the server is done loading you can type in "stop" and it will stop the server

 

10. Now if you want to add plugins. You have to open up the "plugin" folder and add any type of plugin(s) you want

• Make sure they are the correct version for your server. If they aren't sometimes they wont run. They might even crash your server.

 

11. Once you have added all your plugins you can start your server again. Have fun!

 

Some Plugins I recommend:

Essentials

Group Manager or PermissionsEX

World Edit

World Guard

LWC or Lockette

ClearLagg

Vault

Factions

 

I hope you enjoy your server! If you have any questions just ask. I will try to help with all questions!

you can try this:

 

http://getspigot.org/cauldron/

 

but be aware that when i try the above steps, i get told i am missing "essential library files"

[Jennalele]

^ Having the same issue. I think the file missing in question, from another guide I tried to follow, is called "trove4j."

You probably want to be using Thermos at this point: https://github.com/TCPR/Thermos/

[lucasouwens]

I've tried using this, but it just gives me this error

http://hastebin.com/kerupakifi.css

custom.jar is my Kcauldron.jar

[plowmanplow]

It states that you are missing required library files. Did you download and install (as per the instructions) the libraries ZIP file?

Shame on you for hijacking another person's thread.

For those who got errors, Cauldron no longer works, use the latest KCauldron instead. Same directions as above, but instead of overwriting the libraries folder, just copy over the bin folder and rename the KCauldron.jar 

As of 25 Apr 2016 you can find the KCauldron files here: https://prok.pw/downloads.html#pw.prok:KCauldron

Personally, I find Thermos more to my liking, but to each their own.

Also, necropost.
