How to Install a Modpack on Your Minecraft Server

Before installing a modpack, it is important to read its page to learn about requirements such as configuration, minimum RAM, extra files needed, or error solutions.

Modpacks usually have two files: one for the client (your PC) and another for the server (like HolyHosting). You should not use the client file on the server, as it may include interface mods that are not compatible with the server environment.

Where do I find the 2 files?

The files we need are the Main File and the "server-pack" — the latter is the one we need to install the modpack on the server.

Once the file is downloaded, you need to upload the "server-pack" to your server panel.

Note: If the files are larger than 1 GB, they should be uploaded via SFTP.

With the file already on the panel, you will need to decompress it by right-clicking and selecting "Unarchive"

When decompressed, several files will be generated, including the start.sh, which must be assigned 744 permissions by right-clicking and selecting "permissions".

Then, we need to change the server startup commands to start.sh.

Once the startup command is selected, start the server and accept the EULA that will be requested in the console.

Done! That's how easy it is to install a modpack on your server. Remember to verify that the server is using a JAVA version compatible with the modpack version. Conclusion
