This guide will show you how to download a modpack from ATLauncher and install it on your server.

—

# Prerequisites

* Knowledge of FTP and the use of an [FTP client](https://help.ggservers.com/en-us/article/accessing-your-minecraft-server-files-via-ftp-18ealdp/).
* AT Launcher (http://www.atlauncher.com/)

# Downloading Files

To download the server files, you will need to navigate to the `Packs` tab of the ATLauncher. Search for the modpack you want, then click on `Create Server`.


—

After that, you will have to select the optional mods you want, if the modpack offers them, then click on install. Note: Not all optional mods found when downloading the client version of the modpack will be in the server version, since some mods are not server-sided, such as a minimap, or HUD altering mods(e.g Zan’s Minimap, Damage Indicators).


Your server files will then be found by accessing the `Servers` subfolder from the ATLauncher folder.

# Installing the Modpack

Now, let’s install the modpack on your server:

1. Create a new folder called `jar` in the server folder you just downloaded.

—

2. Depending on the Java version you want to use, rename the `forge-versionnumber.jar` to one of the following:

* `custom-java16.jar` – for any modpack running on the 1.17 Minecraft version
* `custom-java11.jar` – for any modpack running on versions between 1.13 and 1.16
* `custom-java8.jar` – for any modpack running on versions lower than 1.13 (1.12, 1.11, etc)

—

3. Place the files you just renamed in the previous step, as well as the `minecraft_server.jar` and `libraries` folder, inside your new `jar` folder.

4. Delete everything from your server using FileZilla.
