BioTechnica Challenge

Presentation

BioTechnica Challenge is a Minecraft event like a Terminator (the opposite of the Manhunt).

This event can be streamed or recorded and uploaded to a streaming plateform: it’s pretty fun to watch this type of content.

You can also add semi-rp to take away some of the boring aspects of survival on Minecraft.

The rules of this event

• Several players (the heros) with one life against one speedrunner (the hunter) with multiple life
• The goal of the heros is to kill the Ender Dragon and to build a house with farms and redstone systems
• The goal of the hunter is to kill the heros

Play

To play with this modpack, you must install it on the server-side and on the client-side.

Client Side

To install it on the client-side, install it as a normal Modrinth modpack.

Follow these instructions if you don’t know how to install it.

If you don’t know wich launcher used, I recommend you to use the PrismLauncher.

Server Side

There are two ways to install the modpack on the server side: Docker and mrpack-install.

After installing the server, don’t forget to setup Simple Voice Chat by editing the file config/voicechat/voicechat-server.properties (necessary if you are using Docker or a custom setup) and to look at the Player Tracking Compass mod.

Docker

Follow these steps to install it with Docker:

1. Install Docker
2. Clone the repo git clone https://github.com/anhgelus/biotechnica-challenge.git
3. Go into the folder called “docker” inside the cloned repo cd biotechnica-challenge/docker
4. Rename the .env.example into .env mv .env.example .env
5. Setup the environment variables inside the .env

• MODPACK_LINK – Direct link to download the modpack (get it from Modrinth). It should look like this https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/t8UHSB82/versions/IDTqzFur/BioTechnica-Challenge-0.6.0.mrpack (outdated link here but the latest should look very similar to this)
• EULA – Accept the Minecraft’s EULA
• MEMORY – The memory used by the server (at least 2G)

1. And start the container ! docker compose up -d --build

mrpack-install

Follow these steps to install the modpack with mrpack-install:

1. Install mrpack-install
2. Get a direct link to download the modpack. It should look like this https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/t8UHSB82/versions/IDTqzFur/BioTechnica-Challenge-0.6.0.mrpack.
3. Run mrpack-install LINK_TO_THE_MODPACK. It will create a folder called mc
4. Go into this folder cd mc
5. Start the server with java -jar quilt-server-launch.jar nogui.

Generating the server with Docker but running it outside of Docker

You don’t want to install mrpack-install?

Just follow the steps to install it with Docker and stop it when Minecraft server start (you can see when it starts with docker compose logs).

It will create a folder called minecraft-data and follow these steps:

1. Give you the own of the folder chown -R user:user minecraft-data
2. Go into this folder cd minecraft-data
3. Start the server with java -jar quilt-server-launch.jar nogui.
