How to Install a Modpack on Your Minecraft Server

Before installing a modpack, it’s important to read its page to understand the requirements, such as configuration settings, minimum RAM, extra files needed, or solutions to common errors.

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

Where can I find the two files? The files you need are the Main File and the server-pack. The latter is the one you’ll need to install the modpack on your server.

Once you’ve downloaded the file, you need to upload the server-pack to your server panel.

Note: If the files are larger than 1 GB, you’ll need to upload them via SFTP.

With the file now in the panel, you’ll need to extract it by right-clicking and selecting “Extract”.

When you extract the files, several files will be generated, including start.sh. You need to assign it 744 permissions by right-clicking and selecting “Permissions.”

Next, you need to change the server’s startup commands to use start.sh.

Once the startup command is selected, start the server and accept the EULA when prompted in the console.

All set! Installing a modpack on your server is that simple. Remember to make sure your server is using a Java version compatible with the modpack version. Conclusion
