Some modded Minecraft server owners may wish to install a custom Forge modpack that is unavailable for automatic installation using Shockbyte's 1-click installer.
If you were unable to find your desired modpack on our 1-click modpack installer, please request official support for the modpack by submitting a submitting a ticket. In the meantime, you can still manually install any server-compatible Forge modpack.
Important
We would highly suggest that you check out our 1-click modpack installer before you follow this guide, to see if the modpack you desire is already available for easy installation.
# Downloading a Server Pack
Before you can install a Forge modpack on your server, you will need to download its server pack. For this example, we will be downloading our modpack from CurseForge.
- Install the CurseForge launcher
- Click Minecraft in the sidebar, then select Browse to look for your desired modpack
- Select the modpack you wish to use, then click the Download Server Pack icon
# Installing a Forge Modpack
After downloading your desired Forge modpack server files, you will need to install the proper version of Forge on your server, then upload the server files.
- Create a new server instance using your modpack's version of Forge
- Connect to your server using an FTP client, we recommend using FileZilla
- Stop your server if it is currently running
- Upload any folders or unique config files from the modpack onto your server
- Start your server.
