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](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Tutorial:Setting_up_a_server), 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](https://github.com/Patbox/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](https://github.com/nothub/mrpack-install), [itzg/minecraft-server docker image](https://docker-minecraft-server.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) or any other compatible installer, though I wouldn't suggest using them for non-technical users.



Allocated RAM



- Minimum: 4GB
