How to Install Christmas Community on OpenBSD

The Christmas Community is a holiday-themed game modification for the popular sandbox game, Mindustry. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install this modification on OpenBSD.

Prerequisites

Steps

  1. First, ensure that Java is installed on your system. You can do this by running the following command in the terminal:

  1. Next, navigate to the Christmas Community Github page: https://github.com/Wingysam/Christmas-Community

  2. Click on the "Code" button and then "Download ZIP" to download the modification.

  3. Extract the ZIP file to a directory of your choosing.

  4. Now, navigate to the directory where Mindustry is installed. By default, this will be "/usr/local/share/mindustry/".

  5. Create a new directory called "mods" if one does not already exist:

$ cd /usr/local/share/mindustry/
$ doas mkdir mods
  1. Copy the extracted files from the Christmas Community zip file to the "mods" directory:
$ doas cp -r /path/to/christmas-community-mod/* /usr/local/share/mindustry/mods/
  1. Start Mindustry and navigate to the "Mods" menu. You should see the Christmas Community mod listed.

  2. Select the mod and click on "Enable" to activate it.
