To install a modpack the server must use the same loader (Forge, NeoForge, Fabric or Quilt) and Minecraft version as the pack, then receive the server-side mods and config. By hand that means the modpack's Server Pack; at Artaun you pick it in a catalogue or drop the file in.
Method 1: the Modrinth catalogue
- Open Mods / Plugins > Modpacks.
- Search (Cobblemon, Better MC...) and click Choose, then pick the Modpack version.
- Check the summary: Minecraft version, loader, Java version.
- Keep Back up the server before installing (recommended) ticked, stop the server, click Install this modpack.
- Accept the EULA if asked, then start. The first start is long.
The panel switches server type, sets the Minecraft version, downloads server mods and skips client-only ones.
Method 2: import a file
In Import your modpack, drop a .mrpack, a CurseForge .zip or a server pack .zip (with a mods folder), then Import and install.
Memory
Under 50 mods: 4 GB. 50 to 150: 6 to 8 GB. Over 150: 8 GB and more. Below 4 GB most packs crash at startup.
Common errors
- Mod X requires Y: add the dependency.
- invalid dist DEDICATED_SERVER: a client-only mod is on the server; remove it.
- Stops silently while loading: not enough memory.
