This article will show you how to properly install a modpack manually on your server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To set up your modpack you will have to first install Forge in your server, then add the other modpack files manually.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will use as an example the modpack called RLCraft which is running of Forge 1.12.2.\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n

\u26a0 Important Notes \u26a0<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
If your server does not provide a server pack then it is most likely not compatible with a server and it will not work properly. It is best to choose modpacks that are providing a Server Pack<\/code>. If they are not, you will have to get the modpack files directly from your instance of it on your PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please note that nearly any modpack requires at least 4GB RAM to run properly. We have a guide here<\/a> explaining the RAM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is recommended you download via FileZilla a copy of your full server files before starting the process as they will be wiped. Here<\/a> is our guide for using FileZilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We do not recommend adding extra mods to an already existing modpack as this can cause issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
  Installing Forge  <\/h1>\n\n\n\n
The first step is to do a clean install of the Forge version your modpack is running:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Log in to your Multicraft panel here<\/a> and stop your server.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \"Stop<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    \n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Find the Server Type<\/code> option and change it to Forge<\/code> selecting the desired version.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \"Server<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      Click Yes<\/code> on the pop-up window to continue the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"Yes\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      \n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Click on Yes<\/code> to do a clean install that will delete all your server files<\/strong>, then click on Ok<\/code> on the following pop-up window.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \"Clean<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
        \"Ok\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
        ATTENTION – Be sure to back up your files using FileZilla before the process as they will be wiped! Here<\/a> is our guide for using FileZilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
        \n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Start Your Server<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          You can now start your server with the Forge version you selected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
          \"Start<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
          Now you just installed on the server the Forge version your modpack is running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
          You can also set up manually Forge, we have a guide for doing so here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
          \n\n\n\n
            Installing the Modpack Files  <\/h1>\n\n\n\n
          Usually, any modpack that is made to run on a server is providing a Server Pack<\/code> on the official page that you can download to get the server files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
          NOTE: If the Server Pack<\/code> is not posted on the official page, then this usually means that your modpack is not made to be played on a server, but in single-player.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
          \n\n\n\n
          We will use as an example the modpack called RLCraft.\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
          To install the modpack files you need to:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Go to the official page of the modpack and download the Server Pack<\/code>. In our case, we will go to the official page<\/a> of the RLCraft modpack.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
            \"Server<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
            \n\n\n\n
              \n
            1. Extract the ZIP file content you just downloaded in a folder on your PC, then log in to your Multicraft pane here<\/a> and stop your server.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
              \"Stop<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
              \n\n\n\n
                \n
              1. Use Filezilla to upload all files and folders besides the libraries<\/code> folder (if there is one) to your server root directory.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                The root directory is the one that contains all other files and folders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
                \"FileZilla\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
                Here<\/a> is our guide for using Filezilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
                \n\n\n\n
                  \n
                1. Start your server.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                  \"Start<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
                  Now you just set up manually your modpack on the server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
