Installing Modpacks for Minecraft

Important: You must use an FTP client such as Filezilla.

Note: You may need to switch your server to Advanced Mode.

Important: Some modpacks provide separate server files because they include mods that are only suitable for the client.
If your modpack provides server files, you must upload them. Otherwise, your server cannot start and will crash immediately upon startup.

Create a Mod-Capable Configuration

Depending on your modpack, you will first need to create a configuration for Forge, Fabric, PaperMC, or Purpur.
Tip: If your modpack requires Spigot or Craftbukkit, you can simply create a server for PaperMC or Purpur.

1. Click Add Game in your server overview.
2. Select Minecraft.
3. Then select either Forge, Fabric, PaperMC, or Purpur.
4. Make your desired changes to the server settings.
5. Now start your server.
