How to Install Custom CurseForge Modpack on Your Server – Minecraft Java

What’s up my name is technobe here for serverpro and welcome to this tutorial for installing custom mod packs on your server pro server in a previous video i showed you how to install a mod pack from curse forge using server pro’s built-in changing feature where you can simply pick the

Type of server from here but let’s say you want to install a server that isn’t on this list over here what do we do well first of all let’s go ahead and find a modpack for this i’ll be using curse forge if you’d like to learn how to use cursed forge

Make sure to check out a previous video that we did by clicking the i in the top right hand corner or the link in the description down below i simply open up curse forge minecraft browse and we’ll pick a mod modpack from here sorting by featured one of the mod

Packs here that isn’t on the server pro switcher list is all of the mods at six it’s a huge mod pack but it’s something i may like to host the server for first of all you and every player you expect to play on the server have to download and install the modpack

Themselves so i’ll click the install button here to install a client-side version of this modpack now that we’ve got the client side installed how do we download the server files well click the three dots on this page and then simply click download server pack your browser will

Then open up and more than likely download a zip file the next steps vary greatly between mod packs so i’ll try and keep it as simple as possible if you open up your modpack server zip and you see something like this where you have a forge.jar file

And a bunch of other folders such as config mods etc etc then you’ve successfully downloaded the entire server and more than likely it was a large download however if the server zip was incredibly small and quick to download you may have ended up with something like the on the mods server pack over

Here it comes with a single folder with three files inside of it when one of these two files over here is run it’ll download the rest of the necessary server files being the mods folder forge etc etc if the servers that you downloaded was incredibly small and you don’t have these files here

And it looks something more like this make sure to refer to the modpack’s help sources as you may need extra steps from here on top of that if you’re still struggling you can contact server pro support team if you can’t find the info in this particular case all i have to do is

Extract these files and then run one of these over here to download the entire server pack however if you have a zip that has all the files inside of it you don’t need to unzip it first after this download completed you see something similar to the valhesia pack that i gave an example

With earlier we have forge config mods etc etc meaning the modpack’s now been successfully fully downloaded for pm all we have to do is send it up to our server heading across to our minecraft server pro panel all we have to do to get ready to upload our files

Is to go ahead and reset our server back to a vanilla version head across to the file section and if you’d like make a backup of the world folder as we’ll be clearing this you can of course make backups of more folders if you have specific things on your

Server that you’d like to keep as we’ll be resetting the entire thing first after you’ve downloaded the necessary files worlds etc etc let’s get to resetting the server head across to the dashboard at the very top under server details click change then selective vanilla from this drop down

Select the correct version that matches the modpack which in this case is 1.16.5 and for remove files choose yes then click reinstall and reinstall note we do recommend to remove files that there’s no conflicts with existing files and new files and of course it’ll also reduce the chance of crashing

And even corruption after it completes your new vanilla server will simply start up and the file section will be a lot more empty at this point turn off your server using the power button in the top left and we’ll get to uploading the server files Simply click upload in the top right and you’ll be choosing one of these over here if you downloaded a large zip file that has all the necessary server files in it click the select files button navigate into the correct downloads folder select the zip you downloaded and then simply click open

Upload and if you’re prompted by your browser click upload again this of course will take some time as server zips are usually quite large and after the server zip has been uploaded selected then click unpack archive but in this particular case i didn’t download a complete server zip

Instead i had to extract it and write a file to download the rest of the server files so i’ll delete this as this was just an example and i’ll upload the folder so i’ll click upload once again then select folder on my desktop i have the on the mods

Folder with all the server files inside of it all that i have to do is select the folder click upload if prompted by my browser upload once again and finally upload on server pro then i’ll have to wait for this to complete and our server files will be uploaded into our server

Ready for us to work with once the folder is uploaded i’ll go into the folder select all of the files then i’ll click move in the top right move back a folder and click move then i can head back to the root directory and delete the subfolder there we go now

We’ve successfully uploaded all of the server files either using the server zip or another folder that we had to download more files into next up configuring the server to configure the server head over to the dashboard tab at the very top then click advanced settings right below

It in here click the drop down under server jar and select the correct file usually mod packs are run using forge but of course there could be other jar files if you don’t have a forge.jar check the modpack’s help files usually if you do have a simply select it and at this point

You’re basically ready to run your server you can click save changes and fire up your server but if you’d like the best performance or you’re encountering issues later it may have something to do with the start parameters over here well if i head into the modpack files on

My computer add into the server starter.pat or whatever file we run to start the server open it up with say notepad we’ll usually see something like this basically it’s telling the server to start up forge.jar and you’ll have a bunch of parameters after it all we’re going to do

Is combine the ones that we have here with the ones that we already have on server pro try not to replace any of the existing ones here as they’re already optimized for your service so all you’ll really be doing is adding new ones from this one over here

To this list over here however this modpack’s a bit different the actual service data file here looks more like this at the very bottom they’re not in fact starting up forge directly they’re instead starting up another file that then starts up forge in this particular case these parameters are stored inside of

This file over here at the very bottom of course all mod packs are very different all i do here is copy these arguments out and add them to the list over here that is optional for the best performance and if something goes wrong in this case i’ll just be starting up my

Server and things should work properly immediately so i’ll click the power button in the top left to start up my server and i’ll head across to the console tab to make sure that things are going well while the actual server is tightening up i’ll head back into curseforge and

Launch of my game as well as both the server and my game itself will take some time to load and of course if this is your first time launching up your modpack after clicking play in the minecraft launcher it’ll download a couple more files which could take some more time

I’ll skip forward now that they’ve started up let’s connect to my server i’ll head into the multiplayer section direct connect and i need to put in my server address here you can get this on the server pro dashboard by clicking dashboard and connecting to either the host name

Over here or the ip address over here if your port isn’t the default 25565 you need to add colon followed by whatever the port is here to the end of either of these when you’re connecting to it so in my case i’ll connect to techno dot mc pro

Dot io and there we go i’ve now connected to my server let’s go ahead and give myself up so i can test out things heading across to my server pro dashboard i’ll head into the console section and i’ll type in op space followed by my username technobe

Upon running this command i’ll then have op and i’ll be able to change my game mode in game i’ll change to creative and as you can see although the mods are working as expected i can spawn in thousands of items and of course play as you’d hope

But anyways that’s about it for this tutorial i hope you found it helpful if you have any video suggestions leave them in the comments below and if you’re having issues with anything contact our support team thanks for watching and i’ll see you all next time Ciao you
