It is best to choose modpacks that are providing a `Server Pack`. If they are not, you will have to get the modpack files directly from your instance of it on your PC. || Please note that nearly any modpack requires at least 4GB RAM to run properly. We have a guide [here](https://help.ggservers.com/en-us/article/what-is-the-ram-memory-and-how-much-do-i-need-for-my-server-chiunv/) explaining the RAM. || It is recommended you download via FileZilla a copy of your full server files before starting the process as they will be wiped. [Here](https://help.ggservers.com/en-us/article/how-to-connect-to-your-server-using-filezilla-yl0q5r/) is our guide for using FileZilla. ||| We do not recommend adding extra mods to an already existing modpack as this can cause issues. --- # 📻 Installing Forge 📻 **The first step is to do a clean install of the Forge version your modpack is running:** 1. Log in to your Multicraft panel [here](https://mc.ggservers.com/site/login) and stop your server. ![Stop Your Server](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/19d2b42f3f50b500/390df6c7-1d3a-43e6-9ea8-412202_1uo9lqp.png) --- 2. Find the `Server Type` option and change it to `Forge` selecting the desired version. ![Server Type](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/9fefb829895dd000/85111d6a-25cf-4275-88c5-e91b1e_sccwzl.png) Click `Yes` on the pop-up window to continue the process. ![Yes](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/b0b1e466950ff000/c3a7e86d-eca3-4719-9b5b-4d2680_ilzg18.png) --- 3. Click on `Yes` to do a clean install that will **delete all your server files**, then click on `Ok` on the following pop-up window. ![Clean Install](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/5532ef8d92bc7c0/0b7ba79b-9ae4-40d5-9b29-9c95cb_1lbvecp.png) ![Ok](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/611fd15ea785d400/31a85249-37a2-4fa5-a231-a6a0f8_17aslri.png) ||| ATTENTION - Be sure to back up your files using FileZilla before the process as they will be wiped! [Here](https://help.ggservers.com/en-us/article/how-to-connect-to-your-server-using-filezilla-yl0q5r/) is our guide for using FileZilla. --- 4. Start Your Server You can now start your server with the Forge version you selected. ![Start Your Server](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/fe86111dec553000/ab6d8aaf-0330-4300-b183-c1eca4_pyzk84.png) Now you just installed on the server the Forge version your modpack is running. ||| You can also set up manually Forge, we have a guide for doing so [here](https://help.ggservers.com/en-us/article/custom-forge-installation-1u6gex2/). --- # 🔩 Installing the Modpack Files 🔩 Usually, any modpack that is made to run on a server is providing a `Server Pack` on the official page that you can download to get the server files. ||| NOTE: _If the `Server Pack` 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._ --- ``` We will use as an example the modpack called RLCraft. ``` **To install the modpack files you need to:** 1. Go to the official page of the modpack and download the `Server Pack`. In our case, we will go to the [official page](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/rlcraft) of the RLCraft modpack. ![Server Pack](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/ba33bb39ceb6d800/11_wwc29b.png) --- 2. Extract the ZIP file content you just downloaded in a folder on your PC, then log in to your Multicraft pane [here](https://mc.ggservers.com/site/login) and stop your server. ![Stop Your Server](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/ba33bb39ceb6d800/1_1bo1fdz.png) --- 3. Use Filezilla to upload all files and folders besides the `libraries` folder (if there is one) to your server root directory. || The root directory is the one that contains all other files and folders. ![FileZilla](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/ba33bb39ceb6d800/22_f3ph01.png) ||| [Here](https://help.ggservers.com/en-us/article/how-to-connect-to-your-server-using-filezilla-yl0q5r/) is our guide for using Filezilla. --- 4. Start your server. ![Start Your Server](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/ba33bb39ceb6d800/5_b5t9x1.png) Now you just set up manually your modpack on the server. --- | If you find any issues installing manually your modpack please contact us on live chat or via the [ticket system](https://help.ggservers.com/en-us/article/how-to-open-a-support-ticket-qjzuyd/). --- # ❕ Useful Links ❕ - [How to Install Mods on Your Server](https://help.ggservers.com/en-us/article/how-to-install-mods-on-your-server-1bauy2t/) - [Improve Your Forge Modded Server Performance](https://help.ggservers.com/en-us/article/improve-your-forge-modded-server-performance-no7k8k/) - [How to Install Mods Into Your Client](https://help.ggservers.com/en-us/article/how-to-install-mods-into-your-client-1t47nya/)
