Install a Forge modpack

Run a CurseForge or similar Forge pack by uploading its server files.

  1. Download the pack’s server files from its page (on CurseForge it is under Files → Additional files). Don’t use the client pack.
  2. Stop your server and make a backup if it has a world you want to keep.
  3. Upload the zip with the file manager or SFTP and unpack it in the server’s main folder.
  4. Check that the server runs on the Forge type, and that the Forge and Minecraft versions on the Startup page match what the pack asks for.
  5. Start the server and watch the console. The first start of a big pack takes a few minutes.

Modpacks need memory: most popular packs want 6–8 GB or more. If the console shows OutOfMemoryError, the pack needs a bigger plan.
