After a moment, you’ll see a line that looks like this.
java -Xmx 1024M -Xms 1024M -jar Hexxit.jar nogui. Note that these values must be multiples of 1024, like 1024M, 2048M, etc. Here, we use 1 GB for both as an example, but you should customize this based on the size of your Droplet. Xmx is the maximum amount of memory it will use -Xms is the initial amount of memory it will start with.
In this next command, specify the amount of memory you want Java to use with the -Xmx and -Xms flags. Here, we’ve called it hexxit, but you can call it whatever you like. You can specify the name of the screen session, which will make it easy to identify and reconnect to it in the future. In this step, we will launch Hexxit in a screen session, so it will continue running after you disconnect from the server.įirst, create a new screen session. Copy the Server Download link for use in the command below. At the time of writing, the most recent version is v1.0.10, but you can double check the most recent version via the Hexxit homepage. In this step, we will download and install Hexxit.īecause Hexxit has a significant number of files, we can avoid cluttering your home directory by creating a new directory for Hexxit.
sudo apt-get install -y default-jdk screen unzip. Next, install Java, screen (a window manager which will allow you continue running Hexxit even when you’re not connected to your server), and unzip (a tool to decompress ZIP archives). In this step, we will install Hexxit’s dependencies. Step 1 - Installing the Necessary Packages The more memory you can dedicate to running Hexxit, the smoother it will be for everyone playing.
One 1 GB Ubuntu 14.04 Droplet at minimum, but 2 GB or more is strongly recommended.īecause of the quantity of additional content in the pack, Hexxit can be rather resource intensive - especially if you intend to have a lot of other players on your server. The 54 mods included with Hexxit add a large variety of new monsters to fight (including bosses), new structures to explore, and lots of rare and useful loot! Prerequisites While the original game has its roots in freeform exploration and building, Hexxit puts an emphasis on adventure and battle.
