Installing Modpacks

Playing with mods requires both the server and your players to have the exact same mods installed.

1. Method A: 1-Click Installer (Recommended)

If your modpack is popular (e.g., Better MC, Vault Hunters, ATM9), you can install it instantly.

1. Go to the Versions / Installers tab in the Game Panel.
2. Search for your modpack by name.
3. Click Install.

Warning: This will wipe your current server files. Make sure you have backed up any existing worlds!

2. Method B: Manual Installation

If your pack isn't in our 1-click system, you must install it manually via SFTP.

1. Download the Server Pack ZIP from CurseForge or Modrinth. (Do not upload the client pack, it won't work).
2. Delete everything in your Game Panel File Manager.
3. Upload the Server Pack ZIP via SFTP and Unarchive it.
4. If the pack includes an installer script (like Install.bat or forge-installer.jar), you may need to run that on your PC first to generate the libraries, or contact our support team to run it on the node for you.
5. Go to the Startup tab and ensure the Server Jar File variable exactly matches the name of your Forge/Fabric/NeoForge jar file.
