Nightly builds are experimental builds built daily from the most up-to-date mod versions. They are not guaranteed to be stable, not corrupt your worlds, or even load at all!

Downloading nightly builds

To download and set up nightly builds, follow these instructions:

  1. Log into GitHub with your account
  2. Find the most recent successful build in the DAXXL Actions tab
  3. Open that build, at the bottom of the page you'll see a list of Artifacts
  4. Pick the one you want, for example modern Java server or multimc client zip - and download it.
  5. Due to github actions limitations, the archive is double-zipped. Extract the real zip from within the zip you just downloaded.

Nightly artifacts get removed after 90 days by GitHub, so if you don't see any zips attached that's why.
