# 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/).
* The FTB launcher, which can be found [here](https://www.feed-the-beast.com/).

# Downloading Files

To download the server files, you will need to go to the FTB official page [here](https://www.feed-the-beast.com/modpacks), select the modpack you want, click on `Versions`, and download the server files.


—

After that, you will need to run the installer you just downloaded and select the location where you want the server files to be added. You can leave it empty if you want the files to be added to the same folder the installer is located in.

# Installing the Modpack

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

1. Create a new folder called `jar` in the server files folder.

—

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 the `start.bat` file from the server files.

—

5. Using FileZilla, delete everything from your server.
