Install

It is recommended to use a launcher such as curse forge or modrith to do this for you. As both will download any requirements and do the setup work for you. Making the process seamless and without stress.

However manual install can still be done. For those new to this it is recommend to google a guide or watch a video. As the following is a high level step list each with their own requirements. Make sure to only use trusted and official sites.

  1. Figure out which Minecraft and Mod version you wish to install. Say for example Minecraft 1.12 and ICBM v6.x.x
  2. (if not installed already) Download and Install Java for the version (java 8 for 1.12)
  3. (if not installed already) Download and Install Minecraft for the version supported.
  4. (if not installed already) Download and Install Forge for the same version
  5. Download ICBM for the matching version
  6. (optional) Download a supporting mod for power and crafting resources such as Mekanism
  7. (optional) Download a supporting mod such as JEI for recipe help
  8. Place ICBM and other mods into your minecraft install's mods folder.

Launcher setup

Before starting make sure you have a supporting mod for power and crafting. ICBM team recommends Mekanism and has tuned some of our recipes to match. If you are not use to mekanism we recommend their tutorials first. https://wiki.aidancbrady.com/wiki/Main_Page

As for launcher setup it is important to understand the launcher isn't a single block. It is a connection of different blocks working together. This concept is known as emergent multiblock, sometimes also called dynamic multiblock. Most setups will have a launch pad to hold the missile, connector blocks to relay power & data, and a controller to send commands from users.

Rest of the tutorial will show you how to setup and fire a missile. Recipes will not be shown as mods like JEI can provide this insight.

Basic Blocks

Basic blocks used to make a launch system are launch pad, connector, and controller. With supporting blocks as desired such as power generation, wires, inventory pipes/hoppers, and decorations.

Also called Launcher Base. This is the simplest way to store a missile
