Server Installation

Modpack is available on Modrinth, but can be easily installed on any hosting service that supports custom jars. Naturally it can also be installed on Modrinth Servers using it's built-in modpack installer

Provided installer (Recommended)

Every release of a modpack provides extra file named server.jar. Just download it and run it like any other Minecraft server (see MC wiki for running it locally, or follow your server hosting tutorial about using custom jars). Only thing you will need to do is to accept Minecraft's eula.

Using mrpack4server

You can use mrpack4server just as it's described in it's readme. Officially provided server.jar uses pre-configured version of it set to download the pack, so there should be no functionality difference aside of having to set it up manually.

Other methods

Other known methods of installing modrinth modpacks include mrpack-installer, itzg/minecraft-server docker image or any other compatible installer, though I wouldn't suggest using them for non-technical users.

Allocated RAM

• Minimum: 4GB
• Recommended: 6-10GB (adjusts for player count)
