How to Set Up an FTB Trident Modpack Server

FTB Trident is a Feed the Beast modpack built around one central idea: war. With roughly 64 mods packed in, it sits in the small-to-medium server range and gets considerably better when there are people on the other side of the battlefield.

What FTB Trident Is About

The pack was assembled by the FTB Team and leans hard into combat. The headliner is Flans Mod, which adds a sizable arsenal of guns, vehicles, planes and helicopters. Playing solo works, but most of the fun comes from squaring off against friends or grouping up against shared targets.

War is the theme, not the only activity. You can wire up automation lines that churn out aircraft, ground vehicles, weapons and ammunition by the thousand while you handle the more direct work of starting fights.

Tinkers Construct is in the mix for crafting tools and weapons from smelted steel and other materials, so your loadout can be tuned beyond the default options. Power for the larger builds comes from Big Reactors, which makes large-scale energy generation feasible without too much fuss.

For everything else, Chisel 2 handles aesthetics. Hangars for your air fleet, decorated command rooms, and the occasional underground bunker for when an opponent decides to drop something heavy on your base.

Installing FTB Trident on the Client

The fastest route is through the FTB launcher.

1. Open the official FTB Launcher download page.
2. Pick the installer that matches your operating system.
3. Run the installer, then sign in to the launcher.
4. In the browse tab, locate the FTB Trident profile and download it.
5. Hit play once the download finishes.

Installing FTB Trident on the Server

The server needs to be running the matching modpack jar. If you have not changed server versions before, check your provider's documentation for that step.

1. Open your control panel and navigate to the JAR/version selector.
2. Type FTB Trident in the search box and pick the matching jar.
3. Create a new world and restart the server.
4. Join the server and start setting up.

Final Notes

FTB Trident plays best with company, whether you are coordinating attacks or trying to outbuild a rival. The setup is straightforward, the theme is well defined, and the modpack delivers exactly what the title implies. Bring friends, build factories, and try not to get bombed too often.
