🛠️Installation

Here, you'll find a guide 📘 if you wish to play with friends on a server. 🎮 It includes a complete guide for using the Minestrator hosting service 🖥️.

📌 Before You Start

Before anything else, you need to open a server with the hosting provider of your choice. I recommend Minestrator, which I personally use for all my servers. 😊

📦 Choose an Offer :

Then, you will need to choose an offer to launch your server. We will walk through, step by step, how to make this choice. 🚀

You will now need to choose a plan. I personally recommend the Mybox offers, which are both affordable and high-performing. 💻 These plans are highly flexible, allowing you to adjust performance or storage at any time if needed. The advantage is being able to start with a reasonable configuration and tweak it based on your in-game experience. 🎮

💡 The choice depends on the number of players, but here are three plans I particularly recommend, based on the tests I’ve conducted:

1. Offer 1 – Adapted for a small number of players.

2. Offer 2 – For enhanced performance with a small group of players.

3. Offer 3 – For improved performance with more players.

🟢 Offer 1 - Adapted for a small number of players. :

• Offer 1 Adapted for a small number of players: 💰 5.99€ / month 🟢 (Up to 2 players)

4GB of RAM may suffice for a small session, but keep in mind that the server may be slightly slower for heavy tasks (such as intensive chunk loading).

🔵 Offer 2: For a Small Group of Players

• Price: €11.99 / month 🔵 (Minimum recommended offer)

8 GB of RAM The minimum recommended for a server with a small group of players.

Offer 3: For a Larger Group of Players

Of course, you can opt for the €23.99 / month offer if you're a small group or more. This offer is particularly well-suited for a larger group of players and will allow you to manage performance effectively. If you encounter loading or latency issues, you can adjust the resources as needed.

• 🔵 €23.99 / month (Recommended offer for a larger group of players or a more demanding server)

16GB of RAM Ideal for a server with multiple players. This offer provides a larger capacity to handle bigger player groups and ensures optimal performance to avoid slowdowns or latency issues. Perfect for a smooth gaming experience with a large number of users.

🚀 Modpack Installation 🛠️

We will be using the Minestrator panel ⚡ and the Filezilla application 🌐 for this procedure. If you are using another server host 🖥️ or a different application 🛠️, the method may differ slightly. Please note that I won’t be able to provide optimal support if you're facing issues with another host or application. 😅

That’s why I strongly recommend using Minestrator 💻 for this tutorial, as it will allow for more precise steps and you’ll have access to more comprehensive help if you run into any difficulties or have questions about your server. 🆘👨‍💻

🔹Step 1: Installing Fabric

1️⃣ Go to the "Version" tab on your server’s panel.

2️⃣ Install Fabric 1.21.1:

🔹Step 2: Preparing the Files

3️⃣ Start the server for the first time to generate all the necessary files. 4️⃣ Go to the "Access" tab to retrieve your SFTP credentials.

You can also click on "Advanced Management Panel" at the top right of the page to directly access the server files via the web with Minestrator.

🔹Step 3: Preparing the Files

5️⃣ Turn off the server before modifying any files. 6️⃣ Connect to the server via SFTP using FileZilla or directly via the advanced management panel in Minestrator. 7️⃣ Go to the "mods" folder in the server files. 8️⃣ Open the modpack .zip file, navigate to the "mods" folder, and drag all the files into the server's "mods" folder.

🔹Step 4: World Reset

9️⃣ Go back to the root of the files and completely delete the "world" folder. 🔟 Wait for it to disappear completely.

🔹Step 5: Starting the Server

1️⃣1️⃣ Restart the server and wait for the world and mods to load.
