Help CenterRLCraft is a hardcore survival modpack that has lots to offer! This article will guide you step-by-step on how to install it onto your server!
🚨 Hold up! You will need to make sure that you have 6-8 gigabytes of ram on your server before moving forward. If you don't have enough ram on the server, it won't run. You may need more depending on the amount of players playing, you can calculate how much ram you would need here.
Installing the modpack through CurseForge.
ℹ️ To install RLCraft to your Minecraft client, you will need CurseForge. Please check our article for how to download and use CurseForge here.
Step 1: Search for RLCraft on CurseForge
The first step is to search for RLCraft using the CurseForge app. This can be done by clicking Minecraft -> My Modpacks, and then searching for RLCraft in the search bar.
Step 2: Installing RLCraft via CurseForge.
ℹ️ This will install the latest release version of the modpack. If you wish to install a specific version, click on the modpack and go to the "Versions" tab to download an older version.
Step 3: Verify the installed version.
Once your modpack finishes downloading, you may find it in the "My Modpacks" tab in CurseForge. Click on it, there, the installed version will be shown next to the name of the pack, along with what mod loader the pack uses. In our case, this will be Forge. Keep this in mind for later, IT WILL BE IMPORTANT!
Installing RLCraft onto your server.
Step 1: Log into your game panel
For these next steps, we'll need to be logged in to our server panel. Simply click the link above and use your login credentials to gain access to your server!
Step 2: Navigate to the Modpacks tab
Every modpack supported by our system will be found in the Modpacks section of our panel. RLCraft is one of them! Simply click the Modpacks tab, and you'll be directed to the hub of all of our modpacks!
🛑 Before installing any modpacks, you must uninstall any currently present. If you notice a section at the top of the Modpacks tab indicating that a modpack is installed, click the Uninstall button. Then, navigate to your file manager and delete ALL of the files before proceeding! Even if there are no modpacks currently presents, it's recommended to wipe all of the files whenever you're installing a new modpack to prevent errors!
Step 3: Using the search bar, search for RLCraft in the CurseForge tab
Just like how you did in the CurseForge launcher, search for RLCraft using our built in search engine, and RLCraft should be right there! Note: Search for the modpack in the CurseForge section of the modpacks tab, otherwise it won't appear.
Step 4: Install the same version you installed from CurseForge
Now, select which version you installed earlier to CurseForge. The versions available can be found through the dropdown menu next to the install button. Once you have selected the version you wish, simply press the install button! If you get a new popup indicating that you may lose files during the installation, simply press Yes.
ℹ️ Mod versions are listed from oldest to newest on our game panel. To find the newest version, scroll down on the Versions dropdown menu!
⚠️If you do not install the same version on both sides, you will not be able to join the server!
The installer will run afterward. The process may take a few minutes to complete, but once it is done, you will see information regarding the installed modpack at the top of the page.
🛑 You MUST delete your previous world in order for this modpack to work correctly! To do so, navigate to your file manager and check if there is a folder named "world". If there is, either select the folder and press delete, or select the folder and rename it to "world-old". If the folder is not present, you can skip this!
Step 5: Launching the server
Next, we'll go ahead and start the server up! Simply go back to the console tab and press the start button!
This may take a moment for the server to start up for the first time with a fresh modpack, but once the server is marked as online, you and your friends will be able to join!
⚠️If the server fails to start, or if you or your friends are unable to join the server after following the steps above, please reach out to us on our live chat system on the bottom right of your screen for assistance!
